Don't do it, Dave!

Dave's lunch: Why? WE NORMALLY USE this blog to comment on the state of the charity world. But sometimes an event of such magnitude occurs outside the voluntary sector that we're forced to take note of it here.

Today is one of those days. At approximately 12.45pm, Dave - the site's editor - walked into the office carrying a plate laden with the comestibles pictured right. He intended to eat this for lunch.

I couldn't quite believe it. Dave is well-known round these parts for eating crazily unappetizing food, but today marked a new low. In case you can't quite make it out, he picked Ryvita (yuk), processed cheese (double yuk), Marmite (three times yuk) and a banana (why?) to eat for his midday meal. I am, frankly, worried about this.
 
> The evidence: Dave eating his horrible lunch

To put this in perspective, today for luncheon I dined on a lovely tomato, aubergine and mozarella pasta dish, while Neill went downmarket with cream cheese, tomato and ham brown baps. Both perfectly normal. Ryvita and cheese open sandwiches, however, are not. I think that's something Dave really should take on board.

Dave needs a good wife to sort out this dietary nightmare!


Surrender in Marmite wars

I'm afraid to admit, LMC, that I was actually using poetic license when I dissed Marmite. As it happens, I quite like the idiosyncratic spread - especially on toast with lots of butter - but I wanted to make the point as clearly as possible that Dave's lunch was freaky.  Apologies.

He's gone out for lunch today, as it happens. I don't think he can face eating in the office any more.

Marmite wars

Adam, I have to say that I find your insulting assessment of Marmite offensive. As ne fule no, it is the food of the gods. (Cameron, where are you?)

I'm totally with you on the processed cheese (:non-existent vomit smiley which I shall be campaigning for as soon as I get my devil one:) and the cardboard biscuits though.

Good thinking, SSE. Might I

Good thinking, SSE.

Might I point out the hummous and tomatoes which were also on the plate?


Improving Dave's nutrition

If I might be so bold, I would suggest docking Adam's pay for a month and putting that towards a finer diet for Intelligent giving's leader. Let's get those priorities right.
