Here's a few more for you, feel free to use 'em. Just don't sue me for breach of copyright in the unlikely event that I use them later in a book or essay of my own:

Both very good contributions and should make for an interesting variation from all of the other sentences. Will be like the tiny piece of chilli inside a chilli chocolate.

Oh dear. I dislike chilli chocolate intensely. Two perfectly good ingredients put in a perfectly bad meal. :(
DS said…

Oh dear it seems Fridayitis has landed.

I have recently discovered a chocolate called Black & Green or some other similar colours. It has no dairy in it woot! and comes in excellent flavours such the one with orange and spices. I have some at home, oh how I wish you were here. Do you think you can tell heaven from hell? ha ha ha
