Awake and up all night

I wonder if Claudia Winkleman has problems with the marmite face foundation.

Same here ukiboy.

Gill, the internet says that horses can get very ill if they eat onions. With my daughter having a dog for the last 12 years I've had to learn a lot about what they can and can't eat. It is tricky with dogs because their natural instinct is to eat almost anything. Onion and garlic can make them seriously ill. The long list of foods they can't eat includes chocolate. It surprised me at first until I thought about it. If we eat grass or acorns it can make us very ill yet animals can eat it/them all day, judging by cattle and squirrels. Seagulls seem to thrive on chips and ice cream. There are birds that hang around MacDonalds. You can usually tell which ones go there often - they have to run a few metres to take off.

??? who is she?  Edit: She is a TV personality. I have not had a TV for several years, so I have not heard the name before. I have seen her photo on the BBC news website now and then but I rarely read any item which is about celebrities.  

Ah, thanks Ray. I did know about chocolate making dogs really ill, but we don't have one so no worries there.

I've never been partial to grass and acorns, so I should be ok. You're a fount of information my friend - keep it coming xxx

Not really a fountain on anything except technical stuff. Food, celebrities, football - I know nothing (as Manuel in Fawlty Towers used to say). 

I don't believe you about celebs, Raymondo, as you've just admitted googling Claudia W. I've never watched Strictly but know she's on that, and she's on a lot of adverts too, banging on about her hair.

She does have a great barnet, which I'm really envious of xxx

I had to because Ukiboy said something about her using marmite foundation. I hope this does not make Google think I'm interested. It annoys me when search engines or websites try to 'improve my experience' based on random viewing on the net. Particularly with news items. I want to see standard news, not the latest sales figures for Marmite when there are wars going on.

I get you on that, Ray. But, I'd be alarmed if Claudia depleted Marmite stocks by sloshing it on as foundation and caused a price hike!

The talk of food has made me aware it's dinnertime, so off to the kitchen. Ttfn xxx

The algorithm will definitely start showing you toast spreads and people that farm winkles.
