I know, right? I once succumbed to the temptation to lick a vanilla body cream on the basis that if it smelled that good, it must at least taste kind of nice. WRONG! It was absolutely disgusting. Hey ho. Chalk that one up to experience XD
A sickle is a real thing, by the way!! Hee, I know :) I was a fan of Asterix more or less before I liked anything else, and Getafix was never without his sickle! The Sickles I was talking about here are one of the units of currency in Harry Potter: Galleons (which are gold, if I remember rightly) Sickles (silver) Knuts (bronze)
I take it you're not a Harry Potter fan :)
I just rewatched the TV version of Hogfather today, which is actually really good. I must catch up with my Pratchett, I haven't read a new Discworld book since The Last Hero, which is ages ago. So behind!
