My darling niece decided to buy uncle a couple of small bags of Thornton's diabetic chocolates for his birthday, I thought at the time how sweet it was for her to think and make the effort to get something I could eat.

Well after a bit of a celebration yesterday and a room full of family messing around and having a laugh (don't ask about the grape!) I was finally left on my own late last night feeling worn out and distinctly peckish.

I picked up the bag of chocolates and read the label, hmm fine for diabetics, no added sugar, but nothing about Krakatoa's cousin's residing within, just a little note that for those not used to it, the sweetner used can have a mild laxative effect.....

MILD!!??? who the hell tests this stuff, they must have a ring the size of the Dartford tunnel!! ...

I off course quaffed the whole packet as it was only tiny, and followed it with another, nice, a slight aftertaste, but nice all the same.
I stayed up till dawn then slipped off into a nice gentle slumber until 2pm this afternoon when I woke on feeling the bed moving and hearing a terrible noise, I thought it was an earthquake, but.... it wasn't... it was my 'arris.. blowing about a 12.5 on the sphincter scale!!
I chuckled to myself (as you do on giving birth to something on that volume scale) but just as I finished chuckling I felt that familiar gripping sensation and recoiled slightly as another rent the air.
This was to become a familiar pattern over the next 8 hours as around every minute the behemoth my arris had become erupted in full voice.
20 mins in, the dog legged it, 40 mins in I had to open all the windows, 1 hr in and I cant remember whether I threw the duvet off myself or blew the damn thing off!!

By 6pm I knew I couldn't risk eating anything and the carer was alternately laughing herself silly and running to get out of the blast radius!. My brother turned up and very quickly left saying he would come back "when you've tamed that b****r".
Sadly just after the carer left the inevitable happened and with me hanging onto the bedsheets for dear life another explosion that felt like it was going to send my prostate to Holland the quick way, ripped through the air to my cry of "oh crap" and then I did.. all over the damn bed..thus was to begin Phase two..
Phase one had obviously been to try and blow anything and everything either within me or a 10ft radius of my dangerous end, to hell and probably back again.
Phase two was wring the b****r dry and destroy the commode..
I have never been on and off the damn thing so much in my life, if I had gaffa tape I would have cut out the middle man and just stuck the ruddy thing to my arris and had done with it..by 7pm I was out of bog roll, by 8pm the towels where used up and I was on the phone to mummy..." for gods sake help me... and bring a cork.. a ruddy big one.." another griping pain hit me and as I threw myself at the remains of the commode I exploded mid air.. the dog snarled and growled at me and as I landed with more of a horrible squelch than I thud I just gave up and collapsed forward onto the bed.
20 mins later that's where I was found, to weak and battered to get up again.

Luckily things have calmed somewhat over the last couple of hours, I had drunk plenty of water during its assault and after eating a small meal silence has once again returned.I still feel like I've done 20 rounds with mike tyson plus Mandy's "bunker buster" butt plug and I'm sure I no longer have a prostate problem, in fact I'm not sure I still have a prostate!!

I'm now trying to build up the strength in my arms and hands so I can strangle the niece tomorrow!!

Your all ok to laugh.. that's why I put it up.. I can see the funny side now things have quietened down :lol:
 
Funny as heck ian, and given me more than an idea for christmas pressies for those in my life I consider less than likeable :naughty:

:thumbs:
 
So Sorry Ian but I am crying with laughter here

Thank you for cheering me up, sorry for your misfortune but :lol:
 
OH BLIMEY! i bought some of those for my gran's birthday a few months back!! She's not mentioned any after effects... but then, she wouldn't would she? :lol:
 
Brilliantly wrote Ian, my face is aching from laughing.
 
I have never laughed so much in ages - sorry :thumbs: my face is aching :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: now I know what to do if I need a quick fix for dieting next time :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
Never mind about strangling the neice - what measures will you take against Thornton's ?Beautifully described, hilarious !
 
I found out the hard way (more like soft) that Diabetic sweets do that to me as well, sorbitol is not a mild laxative !!!!!!
 
Brilliant Ian, as others have said, my face aches with laughter and the tears have only just stopped.

Just wondering if that's why my gran asked for us not to get Thorntons for her again this Christmas :lol:
 
LOL. Sorry to laugh about it but I am glad you've seen the funny side. My dad had "problems" with Thornton's diabetic chocolates too but not quite on that scale.
 
i am having trouble typing this, due mainly to the tears in my eyes, and the fact i am still shaking with laughter.


Sorry, and hope your arris has resumed its normal diameter by now.
Off to Thorntons tomorrow to buy my boss a "leaving present" as i put my notice in on Monday, and start the new job next week.
 
I also learnt the hard way, massive 500g bar of diabetic chocolate. Was not a pretty site :D

They should make all chocolate like this, the country would become thin again :D
 
I had to stop reading a number of times so I could stop laughing and I still can't!
 
Well I'm pleased to report its all quiet on the southern front,though it did end up me spending a rather uncomfortable night overnight on Monday-Tuesday wearing a bath towel and black bin liner like a makeshift nappy..I just wasn't taking any chances on the b****r waking up again lol.

My blood sugar is still all over the place, but mainly in the direction of high, note to self here, there is a world of difference between no added sugar, and sugar free.

I tell you what though if they marketed this stuff properly, ex lax would be out of business in a week!!.
 
Ian, thank you...

It's been a hard couple of weeks and not been feeling the happiest, I love the way that post was written and although you shouldn't laugh at others misfortune I am now grinning from ear to ear with giggles popping out in the middle...

Glad to hear things have calmed down...
 
Just seen this post. Got tears running down my cheeks (face). Was feeling a bit bored and fed up, but this has really cheered me up. Funniest thing i have read since "three men in a boat"! :D:D
