The Thinking Man’s Crumpets

There are only three reasons I can refuse a challenge;

  1. I don’t think it would make my life better.
  2. It contradicts one of the challenges I already have (remember that point two is “Get out of debt” so any expensive challenges are out).
  3. The challenge will result in death, injury or mutilation.

So when Guy said, “Keep eating steak” I had to do it and then when Antonio said, “Eat more crumpets” I had to do that too.

Today I wanted to write something like;

Was up, showered and dressed by 9:15am.  Had crumpets for breakfast and made tea.  While the kettle was boiling I discovered the cure to cancer (don’t know why it was in the kitchen though).  Then I spent the rest of the morning applying for jobs online and fielding calls from all the people that wanted to hire me.  While enjoying elevensies the solution to world hunger suddenly came to me and I hastily scribbled it down on a paper napkin.  By the time my housemates had rolled out of bed I had successfully solved two world problems and completed half a dozen challenges.

Unfortunately all of that is lies.  Apart from the crumpet bit, that much is true.

Cheese crumpets, Marmite crumpets, Marmite cheese crumpets, tea

Cheese crumpets, Marmite crumpets, Marmite cheese crumpets, tea

If you love Marmite and enjoy cheddar with so much flavour it frightens small children then Marmite cheddar is a good investment.  Otherwise steer well clear.
