Yes, why is that? I remember as a child that pears were juicy and ready to eat when you bought them. Now they're hard as bricks and then go mouldy if you leave them to ripen.
Similarly melons are far too hard. I've started buying them a week, or a fortnight even, before I need them, then I leave them on a sunny window ledge.

Well don't eat them then. Get some meat inside you - or a fried Mars Bar.
Obviously fruit doesn't like going North of the border.

This new hotmail sorting system is really awesome. It used to be 'Inbox: No f**ker's written to you.' Now it's 'Focused Inbox: No f**ker's written to you' and 'Other: No other f**ker's written to you either.' Thanks, hotmail.
Somebody send MM an email.

It's driving me nuts. You now have to look at 2 separate things to see everything and I worry I'll miss mail. Nor can I work out how they decide to separate the stuff. The first time, up came a box for you to tick about what the thought and in the Comment box I wrote 'This is a bloody pest' but then there was no button for sending it, so I lost it.
This reminds me of:

I love a nice pear myself . . . and I also eat fruit sometimes . . .
snik snik
But it is really annoying, and a lot of it is only fit for the beach or picnics so you can wash off all the juice that's squirted up your arms/everywhere and made your clothes all sticky . . .
I used to buy pears, plums, apricots and peaches but got so tired of the tiny future window they have of about 3pm next wednesday before their molecular integrity breaks down altogether, so stopped buying.
I have also bought limes with no juice in them - what's that about? I roll before cutting to break down/burst the cells just like it says in the manual, but still only dust comes out.

Sure you're not buying sprouts?
