Kind of a pearoast….

But I love drinking Bovril.

Fucking love it. Loads of it. Every day.

I use a large tablespoon per cup, as opposed to the recommended ‘wet pants’ teaspoon amount.

It gets worse.

I don’t actually even go for ‘Bovril’ brand Bovril. Oh no. After an exhaustive process of elimination, I discovered that ‘Morrisons Beefy Drink’ is the particular one that loosens my metaphorical knicker strings more than any other.

The stuff goes through my innards like turbo-charged gloopy brown napalm and regularly has disasterous consequences on the trigger of my shit-chute.

Yet I continue. I eat that ‘Actimel’ yogurt stuff to try and sort out my digestion and combat the Bovril effect. It’s like 'War Of The Worlds' in my crap factory, let me tell you.

I also have a kidney disease that means the huge quantity of salt your average cup of Bovril contains is seriously bad for my health...

But I don’t learn.

And another thing...I eat Pickled onions by the Jar. It's possible I was ‘Olive’ from ‘On The Buses’ in a past life.

Bovril
should only be drunk with copious amounts of Tesco value bread

Apparently,
Actimel and the like are good for only a certain proportion of people; some people are worse off from it, others find no benefit, and some are better off.

There was a Horizon programme; the woman that was taking it suddenly had p-cresol (the smelly stuff that preserves wood in creosote) in her guts, whereas before Actimel she had none.

Finally, it's normally good if you have bowel or immune disease. I don't know if Bovril guts counts as that.

p-cresol
Could be handy. You could eat Actimel then shit over your garden shed!

Pickled Onions?
...Switch to "Hot and Spicy Shallots" immediately. They do make yer guffs a bit green though...

@Smash Monkey...

What's the betting that the 'accident' was making your Bovril when also making tea for other people, and you automatically put milk in the Bovril too?

Been there...done that...never drank it though.
