Apples can be a bit scary - that 'achchchchchchchch' noise when a BIG chunk gets in the back of the throat.....

I'm surprised they didn't publish a link to Aitch's blog.

Side issue to this, is this magazine supposed to be sent to NCT members or not? We (along with the gullible middle class hordes) joined NCT in addition to shelling out for the course. Since then... not a peep.

So is the membership fee just an optional charity payment to support the NCT's valuable social networking role?

If you are e member, Gee, you will get it. But the mailing takes several days to complete. If you have heard nothing more since you joined, then chase it up - just as you would if you had bought anything else and not seen anything for your money
