    Why I'm even fatter today

    Spent last night at the opening of Paul A Young's new chocolate shop, was forced to eat very nice chocolates whilst Mr. Young's lackeys poured me champagne to clear my palette. Has a nice chat with the chief henchman who explained how the relative diffusion rates of different esters gave a layered taste and how they'd been working out how to get the crispness right using the Diamond Light Source.

    It may not shock you to learn that the choccies are reassuringly expensive...

    Just around the corner from work. I would check it out, but I am banned from eating chocolate as well
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

      I ditched the diet and went back to kebabs, curries, Chinese and booze as well as bags of chocolate and biscuits. Haven't seen a weight increase yet.
      Me, me, me...

        Is that because you can't see the scales over your belly?

              Mmmm, sounds nice, I like chocolate and was here last year: Fassbender & Rausch Chocolatiers am Gendarmenmarkt Berlin. Herzlich willkommen im größten Schokoladenhaus der Welt

              (Menu: http://www.fassbender-rausch.de/down...urant-2012.pdf)
              Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                Only here can you admire the Brandenburg Gate,
                the Titanic and the Berlin Reichstag as giant works of chocolate art.
                Nice.

                  Couple of hours drive and I can hit the chocolatiers in Brugge

                    Oh my. It's just as well my new contract isn't in London - those are contractor choccies!
