I forgot that Yorkie are made by Nestlé. I guess their attitude to women in general is on a par with their attitude towards nursing mothers in the Third World. At least they're consistent.

Holland and Barrett have just savaged the prices of their Atkins-friendly chocolate bars. From the icon, it doesn't look like you're in need :) but having lost 70 pounds on Atkins, I can scarcely contain my joy, and want everyone to know. 69p ex £1.79 in some cases.

Well done on the weight loss although didn't Mr Atkins die rather prematurely of a heart attack...?

PS The pic above is Eliza Dushku (aka Faith from Buffy) although I flatter myself to think I look a little like her...

I thought I had met you somewhere! You're better off looking like her than Buffy if you ask me ( ... )

I commented on this in feminist_fury, but I just wanted to reiterate that if I lived in the UK and knew what Yorkie was, I'd be boycotting it. And to ask you if you'd mind if I added you...a couple of reasons...

1. You don't just like Buffy, you like the somewhat morally ambiguous Buffy/Angel women
2. You make good feminist points
3. You're pretty funny

1. That's true. Moral ambiguity is fun.
2. So do you.
3. Thanks I really appreciate that.
4. What's your favourite Margaret Atwood book?
