Rum Runners

How many Sloppy Joes can you spot?

Yesterday I happened to be posted to America for an emergency rum run. On arrival this is what I saw:

I needed something stronger than rum after that!

Delicious Recipe for Home Made Chocolate

One that works every time

Here is a beautiful recipe for home made chocolate that I saw on my TV, it's a 32" wide fat one with surround sound and remote control. I use it mainly on Thursdays.

1) Take a lump of pre-made chocolate.
2) Melt it in the microwave.
3) Pour it in a mould.
4) Leave to set.

and hey presto, you have home made chocolate.

I must say, and yes I really must, that I'm glad I pay my license fee... I'd never have worked that out and would have been forced to fork out thousands of pounds on chocolatier courses

Seperated at birth - Celebrity special

From our spot the difference collection

There are times when certain things just pop in to my head and today it was the similarity between certain celebrities. Here are my latest celebrity twins. What do you think?

Freddie Boswell (British Sitcom - Bread) & Billy Connolly

Carol Thatcher (Maggie's daughter) & Jimmy Saville (Ex-DJ)

Eddie Izzard (British comic) & Oliver Reed (British actor)

Adam Hart-Davis (British TV Presenter) & Rolf Harris (Entertainer & Artist)

Wise words indeed

A sooth from our soothsayer

The hardness of the butter

You’ve probably heard it said

Is directly proportional

To the softness of the bread

EU Outrage

The European Union are at it again

Overheard conversation:
Wigster 1: Did you know that the EU are trying to enforce a new law which aims to prevent misleading names of British food products.  For example, shortbread will be renamed 3"biscuit or 45degree biscuit because it is neither short nor a bread, while Choc-ice will be renamed choc-ice-cream.  Unbelievable!

Wigster 2: I don't believe you... Oh, hang on, that means it must be true.

Wigster 1: Iced gems will have to change to iced biscuits.

Wigster 2: What will happen to Mint Imperials? Do they have to become metric?


We didn't hear the answer, sorry.

What I saw in the woodshed!

What a good looking fellow!



Is that a wig?

July’s odd sock protest

This is important, please support us

This month I shall be wearing odd socks on Mondays and Thursday in a call for legislation against the compulsory purchase of unwanted broccoli stalks.


The status chasing broccoli, once feared in 32 nations and worshipped like a god in only one, has suddenly become a firm favourite and is often nestled deep within the average British weekly shop. The humble cauliflower has fallen to one side, as has the cabbage.

Is this a coincidence or has this popularity contest between the brassica's more to do with bulky inedible organic waste? For instead of neatly trimming the broccoli stalk close to the godly crown, our supermarkets decide to leave this elongated handle and then charge us for the privilege. Why do us shoppers have to pay extra for this so called organic handle.

Come, join in me in the revolution and don your odd socks.
