The lemon clock up there is an hour fast. It's showing 13:03.

It is, without doubt, an orange.
I would have preferred a physalis actually.

It is, without doubt, an orange. I would have preferred a physalis actually. Concise Oxford: physalis noun
a plant of a genus that includes the Cape gooseberry and Chinese lantern, which has an inflated lantern-like calyx. [Genus Physalis.]
ORIGIN: modern Latin, from Greek phusallis 'bladder'. . . . OR . . . Portuguese man-of-war noun
a floating jellyfish-like marine coelenterate with a number of polyps, a conspicuous, often blue float, and long stinging tentacles. [Physalia physalis.]

The fruit, not the jellyfish. I wouldn't eat a jellyfish if you paid me.

I have heard that there is a restaurant in or near Barcelona -- formerly "the best restaurant in the world", before that ridiculous posers' place in Denmark they had on MasterChef -- where the speciality is jellyfish. I am not kidding. Never had the fruit (or the coelenterate). Looks interesting (the fruit). |

Are you saying your lemon is showing the right time, Costy? I've obviously set my personal profile Board time settings to GMT+0. Surely the clock is a Board feature -- not profile, seeing as how I can't choose my own kind of clock -- controllable by Admin. Not so? Please explicate. What gender of jellyfish? |

I've voted for grapefruit please. Can anyone explain the reason that during the 70s and 80s we used to eat a grapefruit half with a glacé cherry on top? What was the point of the glacé cherry???  |

I never did. I can't stand glacé cherries, or any other glacé fruit. It was a plot by the International Glacé Cartel, a front organisation for the notorious Women's Institute mob. The glacé threat may have subsided for the moment, but the WI is still there in the shadows, more paaahhhful than ever. |

Glace-ing cherries does take away all the cherry taste, as I remember. They were just sweet, with not much taste.
