On a veggie diet one can easily overdo the fibre, which sometimes makes an immediate mid-sentence exit from social situations imperative. If like me you tend to drink a lot of strong dark ale, you make it worse for yourself. <br /><br />By the way, I'm glad to see that Valley Girl, who confesses "I used to feel up", implies with the use of the past tense there, that her period of wandering hands is now over.loobyhttp://loobynet.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556021846818907745.post-34433315791229310402018-06-11T18:34:03.070+12:002018-06-11T18:34:03.070+12:00Not really my style.

This was explained by my university lecturer back in the day with the example of all you could eat pizza for a set price and the way one would pig out and feel really full after so many pieces of pizza lol. Also remember those all you could eat buffets the Pizza Hut used to have. My kids would have a tiny bit of main course then it was multiple trips to the dessert bar. I used to feel up watching them consume these treats but luckily we had no nasty after effects. Can’t say the same for myself last Christmas. We were hosted and a lovely dinner it was. A good lapse before dessert but multiple offerings. I couldn’t choose. So I had both a piece of pavlova and banofee pie. Not long after I felt very uncomfortable. As in over full. Went for a walk down the road to work it down. But to no avail. I had to chuck some up. Then I felt much better. I will never do this again!Valley Girlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556021846818907745.post-51355330080049315842018-06-08T22:28:05.607+12:002018-06-08T22:28:05.607+12:00Thanks Richard, I won't inquire why, because I...Thanks Richard, I won't inquire why, because I know you'll probably blog it.<br />DESPERATELY needing a toilet is easy.
