4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
a small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix
thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again. Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts
(high).

The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don’t be alarmed!

Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous)

1. Don’t swim in the sea.

More than 99% of all shark attacks happen in large water masses, also known as oceans. The way to establish if you’re in an ocean is to taste the water. It should taste salty.

2. Swim with fat people.

Always make sure there are fat people already in the water before you enter. Chances are you will be able to swim faster than them and save yourself.

3. Don’t go in the water without a knife.

That’s to stab the nearest swimmer when you see a shark. As soon as he/she bleeds profusely, swim as fast as you can to the shore and claim you tried your best to save him/her. You might end up getting an award for bravery.

4. Listen intently

All sharks have a ‘theme song’ – If you hear the following, swim for your life: da-dam, da-dam, da-dam. If it sounds like this: dadam, dadam, dadam; you’re already gone.

5. Don’t panic.

Stay calm when a shark bites you. It’s over, you’re gone and it doesn’t help you try and survive. The people on the shore will appreciate it, they don’t want to hear your mad yelling and screaming, it’s not nice. Please think of the children…
