The dangers of a custard cream

Be very careful if the biscuit tin is open! This item pictured could be a serious hazard to your health!

So says a new survey which showed that 500 people needed hospital treatment last year after a biscuit-related injury! These injuries include being scalded due to over enthusiastic dunking, choking on crumbs, or breaking a tooth. One man even waded into wet concrete to pick up a stray cookie.

The survey also tells us that Rich Teas and Cookies are dangerous, but the worst is the custard cream. It's also the dullest biscuit, so best to avoid it altogether! The full survey results are here.

We also had a tribute to Ballykissangel on the show today. I picked it as our Theme Tune Tuesday, and many listeners have fond memories of Assumpta, Ambrose, and of course, an early appearance by Colin Farrell on our screens. Here is a special tribute - the opening scene of Ballykissangel!
