Could anyone E-mail me some milk?

Skimmed or Semi-skimmed?

*looks up*

Peta I am trying to upload this muffin, but it won't fit in the drive on my computer. And yours isn't too happy about the milk either. Should it be producing those blue sparks?

Yes, our village has run out of milk too. And bread.
But my home's got plenty of other food in it.
*crosses fingers*
I hope.

Ah well back to the tins of Marvel then, straight from the bunker...

There's some interesting tips and techniques under the 'jesus,loaves and fishes' conversation that may not seem quite so flipant come the weekend.

If you all need any bagels & lox, just say the word & I'll bike over from NYC and drop off a CARE package...

It said on the news last night that there had been 'panic buying' of milk, bread and eggs, but supermarkets had also reported 'panic buying' of hairspray. Can someone please explain?

Vanity? Also panic buying of bicycle inner tubes I hear. Glad you're still Slug, Slug. You won't become like your name, and if you did that would be OK because you would not mind the name. You personality will change peoples perception of slugs!

Thanks!!

The hairspray thing was probably my mother!

My mother is STILL working her way through the 10 x 56lb bags of sugar she bought during the sugar shortage in the 70's!! It's all gone hard and disgusting and no-one wants to use it. If I looked hard enough, I would probably find some 25-year-old loaves of bread, which I expect she also hoarded somewhere.

If there's a shortage of hair spray your mother could make a killing by diluting all her sugar with water for use as hair spray. It would hold up a sixties beehive hair do .. er so I'm told.

I nearly panic bought slippers yesterday - but that was just to try and make everyone else do it too!

My mother wouldn't part with her sugar now, she has proabably started hoarding (panic buying) all over again. It's so embarrassing - Can you divorce your parents?

Actually, Abi, I have just bought a pair of slippers - should I buy a couple more pairs, just to be on the safe side?

Slug you never know in these situations - M&S have some great blue suede mule style ones with furry insides

Women!

Men!
(Just wanted to get there first.)

Oh, no, my nearest M&S is 15 miles away and I have no fuel - PANIC!!
