    When the forum had it's overhaul some people wanted a 'like' button and I thought...huh! I'd never use one of those...load of old toot. 
    I want one now! 
    Like for @Obelixx @ 14.18 and one for @AnniD @ 15.43
    Made me laugh!

    Just fancied some chocolate too but we only have dessert cooking chocolate which is too strong for me on its own.  
    Best to water it down with a nice whisky ;)

    I must disagree Obelixx.  A single malt would go down very nicely just now.....

    @wild edges a little whisky might induce a little sleep tonight. If not, a large one will do it ;)

    I have never even found a good cake recipe with whisky in it.   Really don't like the taste.

    Sadly it's my 1 year old son that needs the sleep inducing not me and I think that slipping him some whisky frowned upon these days :# I'll remain teetotal until there's a reasonable chance I won't be dragged from my warm bed several times every night. :/

    Just to go back a page or two.   

    We do have a word for 'lingua franca'.  Well, two actually.   'Common language'.

    As in "Two nations divided by a common language" n'est-ce pas?

    I don't think that's quite the same.
