At last ! :D

Hurrah!

*opens another bottle*

If only I had known I could have avoided the extra inches,it is to late to reverse the situation I wonder.We have just opened a bottle to experiment ,but the trouble is sipping wine makes us want to nibble as well!

I take it this paragraph in the article is a mistake, or a joke? men-soaked-tal - is that a technical term for mental arithmetic while brain soaked in red wine?

>Drinking red wine in moderation has often been linked with other health benefits. One study found that people scored better at >mensoakedtal arithmetic tests after being given resveratrol, the 'wonder ingredient' in red wine.

Drat, couldn't it be chocolate? I would never touch alcohol but I do love salads. It hasn't helped though!

Chocolate is make from the carob bean - therefore it is classed as a fruit/veg.
you should make sure you eat 5 a day
Chris

now that I like tatty head

Wine is made from grapes and is therefore part of your 5 a day. Beer is made from hops and barley, and also counts.

On that basis JG, can I count chocolate raisins as one of my five a day? or maybe 2, if we're counting chocolate as a vegetable

That has cheered me up no end.  Will now have to finish all the white wine & go & buy some red as it's better for me
