MAYBE it was the effect of five weeks in the sun without proper drinking water but the islanders proved they'd totally lost it pardon the pun in last night's Lost.

Having found a huge stash of food, after previously living on twigs and the odd bit of wild boar meat, they gave the job of looking after it to the fattest man on the island (and possibly in the world) Hurley.

But hats off to Hurley, he didn't scoff the lot in one massive binge. Instead he shared it out for one big party.

In real life we all know this would have turned into a punch-up with people complaining someone had more tinned carrots than them.

But no, even the chronically serious Jack and Kate managed to raise a smile as they shared a bread roll.

And while we're on the subject of food why hasn't Hurley, a man whose mammaries could rival Jordan's, lost so much as a pound of weight so far despite being in sweltering heat without his beloved fried chicken pieces to gorge on?

Sawyer, Michael and Jin will be gutted when they find out they missed out on the feast.

Especially Sawyer who despite being shot in the arm, cast out to sea without food or water for days, thrown in a pit in the ground and having his backside kicked spectacularly by the leader of the gang who survived from the tail-end of the plane, STILL finds time to throw in sexist puns and call the ladies "hot lips". What a guy.

Episode four of series two and we're still none the wiser to what's actually going on, but at this point I've realised we're never going to know so we might as well just sit back and enjoy the ride.
