Up until April 2007, when I had nearly all of my tongue cut off, as far as I was concerned the movie theatre and popcorn always went hand in hand.

Going to a movie recently with a friend who is very aware of my situation, I commented on how delicious the popcorn smelt, and wondered whether I would ever be able to eat popcorn again.

My friend said, "don't worry about it, you'll be right Kaz, just walk faster and block your nose so as you can't smell it".

My response can't be repeated on this forum..... it was very colorful. If only it was that easy. Some people just don't get it!
