think we have been over indulged with Leona Lewis over here - lovely girl but thay play that song at least 5 times a day on the radio!! :sneaky:

Have you heard her latest single? She sang that a couple of months ago on Radio One's Live Lounge. It was so popular that she's releasing it as her next single. Her best song so far IMO.

On the other hand my OH does not eat loads of cheese now and that helps a lot in keeping the pounds off:thumbsup: He was always "snacking" on a lump of cheddar:mad:

My youngest loves that song - :blink:

Leona Lewis sucks all round really - she is just a marketing tool by Simon Cowell to make millions in the USA - they love all that whiney, over the top singing.

We're lucky to have some very good cheese shops in Toronto area. For a good Canadian cheddar I enjoy Balderson's 5 year. it's expensive but good, I think. Available in most major supermarkets,

Baldersons is pretty cheap at Costco. I think though that there are better cheddars for less money at the (StLawrence) Market.

I saw one the other day - I believe his training may have been incomplete as he was actually rubbing the cheese under his armpits, before licking it all over and than wrapping it back up again ready for delivery.

No, thats standard practice for 2 year old cheese, 5 year old cheese is matured by a moose.
