Ice Magic. Chocolate/ toffee sauce that went properly firm on your ice cream, almost like an Easter egg. More recent versions work ok, but they’ve never got as hard as Ice Magic which was wonderful stuff. It […]

Ooh, I rather liked them.

I got into Inspector Montalbano (which I unashamedly love, it’s escapist, it can be extremely funny and it just looks beautiful) from watching the Young Montalbano. It’s a bit grittier, and I’ll admit, the […]

I did get a like (or a retweet, can’t remember) from Engelbert Humperdink after tweeting a terrible joke asking what his favourite Olympic sport was (Tai Quando Quando Quando if you’re wondering, which I’m sure you’re not).

Very much so. OQL (the Online Quiz League) is just about to start a new season, so if you’re interested it’s worth looking them up – you might be able to register as a solo person and then get put into a team, […]

I’m typing this on my BBC B so I don’t know what you lot are all complaining about. It has just been wheeled in from next door, we’ve only got it for a week. Decent keyboard though, you can hear each keypress […]

1) Sought help when I became overloaded at work. I’ve been having CBT most of the Autumn and was forced to take time off (only a short time, but it was time off) for stress. I’ve also stepped back from my […]

When looking for eggs, “F U N E X” comes up quite frequently round ours.

Whenever we watch the Grand Prix, I shout “It is I Le Clerc” quite frequently as his Ferrari sails past.

Also – and I’ve not got into the mainstream Marvel films yet (might watch them […]

No, but he did work with the Reel Thing.

I Wanna Hold Your Shand

Always thought Cat Stevens’ Father and Son:

“You’re still young, that’s your fault.” Is a bit mean.

Unless fault is meant as in “The Fault in Our Stars” rather than the blame sense.

Really sad news. Like many above I met Phil at a couple of mingles, and he was a lovely fellow, easy to talk to, funny and really good company. RIP.

This for me. Remember watching it when it was first shown on tv (probably a bit too young) – the whole title sequence is simple but brilliant, and it’s made by the music.

Not my favourite on the album – but I put that down to my tape (yes, I bought it on tape) being a bit wonky, so it always sounded like it was about to be chewed up by my tape player. I used to skip through it […]

Severed Seat of Bri

Ha ha! I’ve always wanted to phone up the Madrid branch of a well known insurance company, the UK arm of which was Norfolk based just to see if the phone is answered with

“Aviva Espana?”

(sorry, couldn’t […]
