My kerchief is appropriately draped on the pavement..... So Magnolia Fairy godmother, does his reminiscences mean I can never go in for coffee and chips with my book again??

....Opens fan, flutters just under little button nose, looks down demurely.... "Oh kind sir, how wonderful you are to notice my carelessness, please save me from myself"

Ah, I'm not sure I can handle anything but chips and coffee from the Magnolia at the moment lol :)

Oh my goodness -- the Magnolia fairy godmother, you are a legend!! Does he remember me? The girl with the book and scruffy jeans lol? He was late with my coffee and I ordered chips. TL

Oooh, I would hate to give too much advice on the food side of things as I'm not a nutritionalist, but apparently bananas are to be avoided, though I think wholemeal bread, brown bread etc is fine (in moderation). Avoid starchy stuff like white rice, white bread, potatoes etc, logical stuff x

Hi Legal, I'm a Type 2 diabetes researcher -- and if you have early stages Diabetes Mellitus, it means you have early stages Type 2, where the pancreas is starting to produce less insulin, or the insulin produced is not sufficiently helping your adipose tissue to store glycogen. You can control by cutting down high sugar foods and getting more exercise and of course losing weight. That should do the trick -- and you have to stick to it! But, if you carry on eating foods high in sugar (and this includes some fruit unfortunately, and starchy food), your pancreas will get even more 'run-down' and produce less and less insulin. By then you'll either need to go on Metformin (pills to make the insulin you are producing more effective), or insulin injections (to give your body the insulin that it lacks). You are lucky that you have a chance to do something about it :) TL

Anyone see a familiar face in the crowd? Or indeed were you in the audience? Duplicate thread to: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,227658

Great stuff -- I'll try to come along :) Let's invite Magnolia Man too :) TL

Shall we have the next EDF drinks in Magnolia?? Just a thought.... ;)

Keef, was the head barman on his own on Sat afternoon in the bar?

...Cor, he had a lovely pair of.... EYES ;)

Jaybee -- if you were born in the 70s you'd know how to treat a woman -- poor love, she was probably so nervous about going on a date with a fine hunk of a man that she felt the need to have some dutch beforehand... you should take it as a compliment! You must be quite a catch ;)

Hehe -- Kinda Bon3yard -- I feel a bit embarrassed now about causing such a whoo-haaa! Said barman was only doing his job after all, poor fella now has a thread devoted to him! Mind you, it would be funny to go in next weekend and see if he mentions it hehe :)

He was quite little! With nice eyes ;) But I think he did look like the kind of guy who would make a good father

Rogue, you and I should go down to the Magnolia together on the pull ;)

If anyone can find out the VS on this guy -- I'll buy you a pint hehe

I bet his arse was mighty fine Just like Richard Gere's whoah

Loving your prose Hoochie -- and you too are in on V Day :( I would have thought with your Stephen Fry-esque looks you'd be fighting em off with a jar full o'whiskey ...oh :p I'm watching 'An Officer and a Gentleman' in true, "I'm not succumbing" style :( Saint Valentine, what an arse ;)

...Anyone know if the barman in Magnolia is a) single and b) not gay? He served me coffee and chips today (I know, odd combination) while I was finishing my book...thought he was gorgeous :) As you can tell, I am single (at the mo) pah But, doesn't stop me wishing you a happy valentine's day if you're a) coupled and/or b) frequenting a unisex loo this evening ;-p xx

I like the sound of HonaloochieB :) Quite Interesting *get it?* Oh :p

You guys are inspirational -- keep the ideas coming... I might just do a Yorkshire Pud this weekend with stuff

...You guys are great, thanks ED posse -- I plumped for MM's pancakes and roasted veg with blue cheese sauce, and very nice it was too :) Mrs M's a lucky lady ;-) Will have to come and meet the rest of you at the next ED forum drinks night :)

Lozzy, don't tempt me -- though I'm in the mood to scruff out infront of the old telly tonight with a pancake stack and a nice bottle of red :)

Oh my goodness MM that sounds fantastic!! I think you've swung it....you may just catch me in Somerfield in about half an hour by the blue cheese section....and then wine of course :) Thanks for your wonderful help x

What's everyone else having for tea tonight?
