Dude, in case you didn't know, Crazy Glue will put these babies back together in no time at all. If you only use a dab on all four corners you can pry the disk apart easily the next time you want to clean it or take it apart to use one of the platters to serve those cute little sandwiches they offer in the UK. Great Site!
