Its quiet out our way, out on the Somerset badlands between Glastonbury and Bridgwater. Roads all quiet, though I see more people out on bikes or walking than I usually do at dinnertime. Town centre largely […]

I go to several shows/exhibitions a year, and have found that if I eat low residue-type things the day before, then I can comfortably last the day.

Can I recommend the loos at Gloucester Services? Especially at […]

Possibly too much info from me, but after a bowel op a few years ago, I can get through two rolls a week. I now have to go when my innards say so. Has cured any ‘well I don’t like the look of that toilet’ tendency I had.

Would be nice if we had a PM who stood up and told the nation where we are virus-wise, rather than have Cummings have a quiet word with Peston. Cosy lobby ‘journalism’ needs to end. Peston needs to say on rec […]

Thanks to Genesis; that the Giant hogweed was Heracleum mantegazzianum in binomial nomenclature (its ‘Latin’ (often Greek) or scientific name).

One of the great joys of the interweb is that you can get pretty much any secondhand book, from the ‘Dodgers’, ebay or wherever. However, its not the same feeling at all as going into a secondhand bookshop – […]

Marmalade goes very nicely with kippers.

Dad used to like cheese and blackberry jam sandwiches. I prefer damson jam, which goes very well with Brie, Camembert or Taleggio.

Our crumpet of choice are the ones Food Warehouse sell. Six for a pound, big square jobs. ‘Toasting Crumpets’ they’re called. Struggling to think how else you cook ‘em. Boil in the bag?

We used to like those Phineas Fogg snacks, especially the bagel chips.

As did one of our cats. Usually, he appeared when a packet was opened, but one time we didn’t hear him arrive. Halfway down the packet, I […]

As has been mentioned here before, Ritz are the mutts, BUT they are not quite as moreish as they used to be.

But the cheese ones are an Abomination. As are the herb and tomato.

It would be the opening Mellotron chords from ‘Watcher Of The Skies’.

‘Deeeeeeeee-daaaaaaaaaaa’.

Or the last sustained note from ‘Entangled’. Mellotron again.

Twenty seconds is roughly from ‘Can you tell me where my country lies’ to ‘she traded in his prize’ in ‘Selling England By The Pound’.

A few years ago in my previous job, one of my colleagues suddenly announced […]

Someone on twitter christened him ‘The Haunted Pencil’.

Anything with Scrappy-Doo is non-canon Scooby-Doo.

Any Tom & Jerry not ‘Fred Quimby’ is non-canon.

Genesis minus Steve Hackett is shite.

‘Ja! Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput”.

Interesting to see mention in the adaptor thread of getting DIY stuff from Bunnings. They bought the Homebase chain in the UK and it didn’t go well at all. Round about that time, Wickes seemed to be trying to […]
