Youāre supposed to use a ballpoint pen to do it and it feels fantastic. Great tactile experienceā¦

Current work lunch plan:
Two slices brown bread and a banana.
At tea break, snap banana in half, wrap half in one slice of bread and eat like a banana hotdog.
Same with other half at lunch.
Makes me feel like a bear, even though I donāt imagine bears eat banana. Or bread. Yogi probably did.
I am also reminded of a banana anecdote
Actually Iām reminded of 2 anecdotes, the other is my own and probably not very interesting. And I will type it out at lunchtime

Duly noted, and will investigate, but still donāt think itād make much difference regarding visibility. And I hate drawing.
But thank you Mrs Heritage and I promise not to diss your son too much in the future

I donāt know who Stewart Heritage is but Iām sure heās a jerk.
Heās a Guardian features writer who specialises in the light-hearted stuff. I suspect heās not popular around these parts, but I kind of like his stuff usually, although at some point presumably heāll become a parent and morph into one of those people who write columns like āMy son has the best baby armsā for the rest of their careers.
Too late - heās been that guy for about eight years (I think one of his kids is a year older than ours)

I just googled him andā¦
āHis weekly column about his young son āMan With a Pramā ran in the paperās Family section between 2015-16ā
Iām afraid anybody building a media empire around āI talk about parenting butā¦Iām a DAD?!ā goes immediately into the confirmed-jerk category for me.

But you should still write on banana with a ballpoint pen IMO.
I prefer to write things, such as āBANANAā or āWANKERā.

Well say what you like about the Grauniad, but youāve got to hand it to them for having a special Family section to squirrel this shit away in, that for those of us like me are simply convenient compost bin liners.

Do you think that if you wrote in green felt tip on a very green banana then it would gradually reveal itself as the banana ripened?

Idk. A bf of mine ate like 8 or 10 bananas one morning and was sent home from work. Think he had to go to hospital and they said it was potassium poisoning.

But for a healthy person, āit would be impossible to overdose on bananas,ā says Collins. āYou would probably need around 400 bananas a day to build up the kind of potassium levels that would cause your heart to stop beatingā¦ Bananas are not dangerous - and in fact they are, and always have been, very good for you.ā
Adults should consume about 3,500mg of potassium per day, according to the UKās National Health Service. The average banana, weighing 125g, contains 450mg of potassium, meaning a healthy person can consume at least seven-and-half bananas before reaching the recommended level.

Now Iām trying to find a way to crowbar the phrase āeat 400 bananasā into the lyrics of Eternal Flame.
Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Eat 400 bananas
Do you understand?
Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming?
Is this burning an eternal flame?
