:( That's a horrible condition. I didn't realise it was one of the causes of blue baby syndrome.
In other news, I just ate 3/4 of the sticker on an apple without realising.

Apparently British Bulldogs are prone to it.
There's a surprise.

that might be why they banned it at school

A few of our teachers wouldn't let us play that at school because it had British in the name.
They let us play it eventually, when we changed the name to Irish Rover. Which made no sense, really.

Haha.
Irish Wolfhound, maybe. No dog breed starts with I. No good ones, anyway.

These were the old diehard ones from the Gaeltacht, they resented even speaking English.
All the best teachers come from Kerry.

they shouldn't be eating apples anyway

It's true, they shouldn't.
Our dog steals them off the tree, he must think it's a tree of balls.

what's worse than finding a sticker on your apple? etc.

( spacefish bong!, Sat 30 May 2009, 13:52, archived)

why do they even put stickers on fruit?
I went to get a green pepper from Sainsbury's a while back and they all had stickers on. The stickers said "Pepper". FFS.

it's so they can hire respected shelf stackers

( spacefish bong!, Sat 30 May 2009, 13:54, archived)

I know, completely unnecessary.
This was from the market, aswell. I've stopped buying fruit and veg from supermarkets as it is invariably shit and overpriced and with loads of packaging.

bird's eye chillies are the worst,
I wanted to make chilli oil and I had to buy about 5 or 6 packets of them, and it cost about four quid. The next time I discovered the Chinese grocers, and filled a bag for about 40p.

I know!
My dad was diagnosed with diabetes type II last year, and is obsessed with chillies now, as they are supposed to help lower blood pressure. They had to buy millions and they used to go off, so they grow them now, my old bedroom is full of chilli plants:(
