EAT PIES!
Read post

As in PIES from the ungooglable pseudo-pret café chain EAT, rather than what was written on the pitch-side hoardings in “billy the fish” strips.
Unfortunately as I reached the counter the turkey and stuffing ones sold out, and I didn&#82[…]

Mysterious Stuff – The Equator
Read post

I’m not a scientific guy. The physics questions on University Challenge make me feel nauseous and my continuing ignorance is only validated by the Oxfam models who answer them.

Read post

Next stop Ducks Deluxe!*
Read post
