It has a contour bottle you know
Read post

Brahma beer. That’s what they want us to drink. How will they get us to drink it? Make it cheap in the off licence. Advertise the hell out of it (just wait til the New Year). Stock the club back bars with it relenetlessly. It’s sexy, it’s Brazi[…]

CSI: Maths
Read post

Or Numb3rs (yes, that is how its spelt, I am not just googleproofing cos I am going to insult it). Where CSI has our talented professionals solving crime using forensic science, the heroes of Numb3rs use maths instead. Where CSI has Jerry Bruckheimer[…]

Doing Exactly What It Says On The Tin
Read post

I am not sure why I bought a tin of Campbell’s Condensed Cream Of Mushroom Sauce a few months ago. Perhaps it was on special. Perhaps it was for the design. It was unlikely to be for the soup. Maybe it was the “Base of 1000 Meal’s&#[…]

Captain Jack And The Gay Agenda!!!
Read post

As the book has not been all that keen on creationism, it is clearly that this idea is given relatively short shrift. Sure, God in his omnipotence, could certainly have done all the things suggested in the b[…]

Garnish and Salad Skillz
Read post

Last night I made one of the most accomplished meals of my life. And it wasn’t the Aubergine Parmageana, or the Curried Parsnip Soup that made me feel this was a great meal, though those items were fabulous. Those items also came from recipes a[…]

The KKK’s Favourite Pizza
Read post

I hadn’t been to a Pizza Express in years. How the mighty fall, me having moved on to the larger joys of La Porchetta or the almost identical, but nicer staffed Pizza Paradiso. But where else to eat on Millbank? And they are celebrating their f[…]
