Be Excellent To Each Other

I always loved chocolate and was addicted to it. I like chocolate so much that i can take lots of pleasure even from the cheapest 0,50€ chocolate for cooking. When my girlfriend want to make some chocolate mousse, i always think that's not worth the effort, i could just eat the entire tablets at once and that the same pleasure from it.Through i college years i relied on chocolates when other turned to coffee.

The thing is, some weeks ago i had a bad experience from it. I ate half a tablet of some cooking black chocolate and got lots of headaches and a mixture of anxiety and air-headiness.

Today, after dropping chocolates since then, i ate an whole (quite big) tablet of nestle milk chocolate. My heart is racy and i feel like my head is about to explode. Well, chocolate is suppose to be addicting, but now, it doesn't let me get addicted to it. Or maybe this is just the hangover and i need more chocolate.

Any chocolate lovers around?

No! Bad RuySan!

Um... Without wanting to sound like a hypochondriac, this could be a form of diabetes. The light-headedness would fit. I think you should take yourself to a doctor, mate.

Shall we let him pick fault at your Portuguese?

(I can't believe I'm sticking up for fagballs)

Well I know too much choccy can cause headaches (and toothache). Maybe knock it on the head for a bit, or just cut down and see how you get on. Are you drinking enough water/juice etc? Could be a bit dehydrated by the sounds of it too.

Oh yeah, what Grim... said too. Better to be safe than sorry.

No more travelling up the chocolate highway for you, by the sounds of it.

Very dark chocolate is usually alright for diabetics though, with the nearly-no-sugar-ness.

Then again, when you multiply "a bit of sugar" by "an enormous lump" I suppose it adds up.

Hopefully RuySan will be able to see that I was joking, myp, but 'addicting' is no substitute for 'addictive'. Not even in Scrabble (unless you've not got a v and are playing against an American).

If I could speak another language well enough to only get addicting and addictive wrong in a paragraph that size, I'd be fucking chuffed.
The only other languages I'm good at are German and French, but I couldn't do this post in either as I don't know the word for 'if', and then I gave up

i did the lemonade tests about 4 years ago (but i suppose those don't matter now). But anyway, thank you for scaring me (and i'm certainly an hypochondriac). I will put the chocolate aside.

What Bobby said. Then pick the chocolate up again depending on what he (the doctor, not Bobby) says.

Or the Bournville boulevard.

Fine, right, I get it, "no light-hearted linguistic jostling ever just in case a near-indistinguishably-excellent non-native speaker who hasn't mentioned anything takes offence, or other people do on their behalf".

I wasn't offended, I was just saying, like.
Plus, boo to you for not making a mistake in that sentence for me to pick up on.

I did type "offense" but caught myself. Then wondered about it a bit. Then guessed.

And I just tried to delete it but you'd replied, so boo to you too.

what did i to deserve that nickname? Besides saying "fagballs" every now and then? It is more of a MaliA's thing honestly

You say 'cock off, fagballs' all the time. It was meant as a joke.

Fagballs.

cock off! :

Fagballs.

Jesus. it's like I'm fucking wasted trying to teach the foreigns to speekadalingo around here.

Or it could be the onset of diary intolerance, which I'm annoyingly in the midst of developing. I used to drink loads of milk, eat loads of cheese and enjoy chocolate. Now, much of any drives my tinnitus fucking mental and chocolate gives me a gunktastic throat. Gnh.

Fucking diaries. I hate them.

same here...i don't drink milk anymore. And i never had any problems with it until about one year. I also have tinnitus, but i never noticed any relation with diary consumption. It's more of a case of being a metalhead really

To be fair, I do hate diaries as well as having a dairy intolerance.

@RuySan—my tinnitus is 'evolving'. Around 11/12, I got some mild ringing (thanks to my stand-in GP who was a fucking idiot and ignored a massive ear infection that nearly deafened me), and I suspect that caused some damage. Since then, things have gotten progressively worse: the ringing is louder and there are more 'tones', including a particularly irritating one that occurred shortly after getting off a flight to the US one year and never went away.

However, I also now get a 'bass rumble', sounding rather like a car turning over, and while I can tune out the ringing noises, the rumbling just drives me nuts. Turns out that it's mostly caused by dairy intake, which was the sole piece of useful information I got from a renewed if short-lived bunch of sessions with the NHS regarding my tinnitus. (Actually, that's a lie: another piece of useful information was "there's nothing wrong with your brain or ears" after I got an MRI, to ensure the tinnitus wasn't down to a tumour or something.)

Slightly related, I went to the bodyworks exhibit on Saturday. Among the many organs and bones on show were the inner ear bones - man, they are unbelievably, ludicrously tiny. It's hardly surprising that deafness isn't more common.

Whereas I'm going the other way. I've been allergic to milk since I was a baby, but I've been testing myself on it recently, with no adverse reaction so far.

The acid test will be cheese, yoghurt and anything else high in caseine (milk protein). I haven't worked up the courage to do that yet.

Man up wussy.

Oh! So that's why you're a vegan. I thought you were a tree-hugger.

I haven't been a vegan for about six years.

FTFme

Yes it is.

Malabar sounds like some sort of delicious sweet confectionary product. mmm.. Malabaaar...

It could be a Malibu-flavoured chocolate bar.

Pardon?

It's just a front.

I was intolerant to milk, but I have a food intolerancy in general aswell as Crohns-which makes 'decent food' hard to find

I love cheese though and am glad it doesn't have any overse properties for me

Hope it all turns out okay anyway, hopefully it'll just be a 'rush' from the chocolate itself that caused that rather than anything serious. Free diabetes test at the pharmacy now though (?) so get yourself looked at, no harm in being safe

Scottish GP calls for chocolate tax.

I wonder where he stands on deep fried chocolate.

In the queue, just like everyone else

PAYING FOR IT WITH ENGLISH TAX MONIES WAAA WAAA WAAA BARNETT FORMULA WAA WAAAA WAAAAAA

etc

Scottish GP calls for more of him in the press, more like.

Perhaps you are allergic to chocolate, now. Perhaps allergies can arise from overexposure to something.

An American friend of mine worked at a gelato gaff for a while, and is now ferociously allergic to ice cream. His lips go all bubbly and weird if he tries to eat any. Gadzooks!

Here's a free test for untreated diabetes:

Are you permanently thirsty and pissing like there's no tomorrow? If not, you don't have diabetes. HTH.

<may be a myth>
Didn't the test use to be going outside in Summer and taking a piss, then coming back an hour later and seeing if it was covered in ants (high sugar content in the urine)?
