Research shows that ...

In the early hours of Monday morning someone called at my place searching for "Bowie Baldness" I followed the Google links to look for evidence - but found none - so I've tried to oblige with the picture.

However, the search lead me to some recent research from the 'International Journal of Dermatology' which claims that drinking coffee can cure baldness. So Robbie Williams (who drinks 36 double espressos a day) may never win another Brit award ... but he will stay hairy.

The caffeine in coffee blocks the effect of the chemical which damages hair follicles. A German cosmetics firm is developing a caffeine rich ointment to apply to the scalp - just in case David ever needs it.

I’m so pleased that Yul preferred cocoa.

Elsewhere, Dutch researchers have worked out that people like me (thin non smokers) are a seriously heavy burden on the state. We cost much more than fat, pie eating smokers who contribute millions in taxes and die young.

But thin healthy types live on and on and on needing expensive treatment for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's not to mention the cost of the bus pass.

So the next initiative of the nanny state will be to encourage smoking in primary schools and provide free lard on the National Health.

I Scream!

Do you like ice cream?
Of course you do.

What's your favourite brand or flavour?

I LOVE ICE CREAM

I used to eat an ice cream every day.
Always vanilla - no raspberry, but sometimes a 99.

This quiz got it right.

Your Icecream Flavour is... French Vanilla!

You're a smooth and silky suave type! You exude class and you believe in tradition. A classical taste who doesn't like things to be too flashy or showy. Climb the Eiffel tower of taste with a spoonfull of you! Oui Oui!

What is your Icecream Flavour?

HOWEVER, I haven't had an ice cream for 5 years

Why?

I was clearing out a freezer in an empty flat. There were 3 frozen peas, 10 oven chips and a scoop of ice cream.

I threw the ice cream in the sink (the water was switched off) thinking it would just melt and slither down the plug hole. 2 days later I returned and there in the sink was all that remained....A lump of LARD!

Since that day I have never touched ice cream.

When I saw this lovely retro ice cream van last week I was tempted to buy one.

But I took a picture instead.

Enjoy your ice cream this weekend
