She went on to tell me how depressed this eventually made her and how she had to quit a well paid job leaving her in financial difficulty for a number of months......

So now you have an insight into the insidious harm that these events can cause.
The harm is long lasting and affect both mental and physical well being.
As for your last question.......well, only you know your wife(or thought you did).

Re: Allegations about Jimmy Saville: covered up?
Surely you noticed they were mouldy?
Why did you eat them? And five of them?
Consequences, a salutary lesson in consequences!

Re: Allegations about Jimmy Saville: covered up?
You have eyes, a nose and a mouth.......you look at something......if it looks alright, you smell it...... if it smells alright then you can try putting it in your mouth....but for goodness sake, if it tastes bad you don't swallow...you spit.
The above rules only apply to food.
Being inebriated is no excuse for anything.
As for Kumquats...they are quite pleasant...a bit like a tiny oval orange and you eat the whole lot...skin and flesh.

Re: Allegations about Jimmy Saville: covered up?
I have never been so drunk that I didn't know what I was doing(I must not have tried hard enough).

Join the Coeliac Society, they will provide all types of gluten free menus and listings of all eating establishments in the area that have gluten free meals
