Thanks everyone! I have been in CH (and EF) before but got deported for Blatant Dislike of Chocolate. When they let me back in for another go, I failed the Hurl Self down Mountain on Dangerous Cold Stuff test. Back for a third time and trying a different tack.
But this time, I've got Marmite.

Welcome!
Great introduction. I can relate to some of your likes and dislikes, but chocolate? You don't like chocolate? 
However, the non meat eater, Clooney fancier part of you almost ( almost) cancels that out, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. |
