Bags of salt in a bag of chips, nice idea, too bad that doesn't happen here, the chip makers like to put salt on the chips here, like it or not.

Heck here caffeine is put in most sodas, from what I've read in Canada caffeine is not allowed in sodas, but then here sodas have high fructose corn syrup instead of cane sugar, unless the soda is diet of course, diet has neither, but diet will have caffeine except for a few sodas that is.

All US-produced diet sodas has caffeine unless specifically stated otherwise on the label.

Correct, Diet 7up is one, Sprite is another and there's one other that even with syrup tastes like drek. If I do have soda today it's with pizza and it's Mountain Dew, sure it has caffeine, but it's a special occasion, so for that I'll put up with some soda.

If the regular has caffeine, so does its diet; Coke and Pepsi do also offer caffeine-free regular and diet versions.

Clear lemon-limes (7-up, Sprite, Sierra Mist) do not have caffeine in regular or diet. Yellow ones (Mt. Dew, Mello Yello) have even more than cola. Other fruit flavored sodas generally don't have any. I just wish strawberry Crush came in diet.

Root beers usually don't, but you should check the label the first time you drink a new one.

I have lots of diet orange and some diet root beer in my house. I buy a bottle of diet cherry Coke if I need caffeine in the morning. And I also drink water.

I sure wish their was a caffeine free version of Mountain Dew in the US, cause if there is, then why isn't it offered in CA?

I haven't seen Orange Crush in years, the closest that I've seen is that Coca Cola owned brand called Fanta, that one is pretty good, although it is an acquired taste.

OK, which joker did that?

Someone has super glued the key to the cellar across the cellar door key hole.

And we've got a lady out there wanting her Friday night tipple.


John's heading off to get a BIG saw or grinder (have you seen the size of that key?) so there will be a short delay.

Oh, and there are two Koala glued to the floor so we'll have to get them unglued and checked over by a vet pretty quick - that might mean ripping up a bit of the floor....

John is certainly a master with that grinder - he even managed to free the Koala without hurting them - I bow to his magnificent skills, but have to ask "Where did he develop them to such a high standard"?

We've just had reports of someone being stuck to one of the loo doors - with a large bottle of industrial grade super-glue in their coat pocket.
John is heading there as we speak, but now he is "not such a friendly mood".

Can the band play a lot louder please, and can we have a cleaning squad to the third floor gents loos please, they may be needed....

Maybe the Bomb Squad should be called in? ;)

I doubt that the bomb squad will be required - John still has his "trusty" massive angle grinder with him. Its at least two sizes up from this one...

I think we need a 10% increase in the 2013 Subs to pay for a new PA system :-o


How about some security cameras?

(They could pay for themselves...)
