There’s a similar game for fans of Iain M. Banks, and his Culture novels, with TMFTL becoming ‘Mind’ names. Excessive Melisma is probably a GCU (General Contact Unit).

I like them a lot. They had some excellent musicians playing with them, like Vetesse, and Alan Murphy on guitar. Real shame he died.

There’s one at Brancaster, in Norfolk. I’ve got a key for one somewhere; my maternal grandad was a member, and gave it me.

We went to Cromer a few years ago, and it was mostly shut. Ditto Hastings Old Town. Think both visits were on Mondays. Used to be so easy years ago; check AA guide for half-day closing, see if AA patrol saluted or […]

Can – Spoon.

Mr Cox well moist in this, and Mr. Vetesse displays exemplary keyboard stackage.

I’ve seen it this year, though if something’s happened to the maker, it could have been old stock. I can’t remember exactly where; if local to us, its either the Queen Street deli in Wells, or the big whole […]

Not sure why my reply to your post had become a new post below.

They also sell some nice barbeque sauces. There was one with a really retro label. I appreciate this is very niche, but the designer must have bought a couple of font packs from the Walden Font foundry. As have I.

I/we usually buy some of the packs of single, dried chilis that stall sells; Ancho and Poblano mainly. Either rehydrate, or chop them up. We both like food that’s hot, but it needs to be tasty, too. Their sauces i […]

Two writers called Stephen Moss appear in theguardian, as did the Duncan Campbells.

Stall is/was in West Street, south side. Not far from the junction with South Street. Often thought South Street would be a splendid place to live.

I currently don’ t have any, but there’s a stall on Bridport market not far from us that has it. I have in the past made my own version, by combining the various Linghams.

Ohh, yes! They certainly had it last Friday, ‘cos my partner bought two jars back, after meeting her cousin for the day. We buy their whole dried chillis, too.

The other stuff that is difficult to resist adding to almost anything is Lingham’s Chilli Garlic Ginger sauce. Either in quantity, or just a dash.

Marvellous. My beans earlier had, in addition to some cheddar crumbled in, a sachet of Stokes’s bbq sauce (glommed from a nearby restaurant) and a teaspoon of Aleppo chili. The latter – from the Devon Chili p […]

Branston.

I need to bake tomorrow. I’ve done sourdough, but usually do instant yeast ones. I sometimes make an overnight sponge, with some of the water, flour and yeast for the three loaves I make at a time.

Partner is away at ‘Beautiful Days’, and after a long day, I could not be arsed to cook. Tea tonight is therefore ‘Posh Baked Beans’. In which they are served in a bowl, with toast alongside. I have crumble […]
