"Hello? Is that Mr Emery?"
"Yes…." "Mr Emery, I am calling you about the Federal Government Solar …" "Excuse me, I must check something," says I, observing that it's almost 8pm. "I'm very sorry but I can't continue this conversation. Not at this time of night, 8pm is at best, an inconsiderate time to phone. Goodnight."

Pricks. I hate those arseholes.

Yes, I'm very aware of diabetics requirements, several of my friends in the Men's Shed group have that condition at various levels. We need to know what to do should they get into difficulties. As one said just yesterday, "put me in a seated position where I can't fall over & call the ambulance."

One thing I do know from the history of alcoholism in certain members of my mother's family is that livers are very resilient if treated better. Be strong, face your fears, trust in any god or gods you believe in. Involve your family in your (enforced) lifestyle change. In time you will come good. It will be hard but I believe in you.

Welcome aboard! The oars are in your cabin, there are life vests somewhere and as soon as we finish all the beer, there will be something you can use to bail. The captain tells me we stick to tropical waters: no icebergs will come along.

I observe the sugar content to be somewhere between 3% & 17% because of the listed order of ingredients, Orange juice, sugar, blood orange juice, etc.

The chart on the can says Sugar, 10g per 100ml.

I was never really into horror movies but I did enjoy "Bloodbath At The House Of Death."

@kdfrawg I have something very similar in my fridge: Aranciata Rosso, which is 17% orange juice & 3% blood orange juice, sourced from concentrates & sweetened with cane sugar.

The Thunderbolt dock was on sale in the Apple Store at a 33% discount because the T/bolt 2 version was on the way. Certainly wasn't going to pay $400 for one but $268 was OK. My stuff is still only T/bolt 1.
