Most people who know me, or even read the blog, will know I love radio4. Saturday mornings lieing in bed, with things like the news quiz, make my week. I was most upset to read of Linda Smith dieing today. Not only was she extreamly funny, but she was also one of the few women [...]

…the fucking lot. I’d forgotten what a good little film Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is. It’s pretty beutifully shot, the cinematography, line little comic lines, Vinnie Jones being a very very nasty man, and even the appearence of Sting doesn’t cunt it up too much.

Whilst I was out in Texas I had some really good bbq. They all cook bisket over there, and it’s a much ignored cut of meat over here, so I’m wondering about picking up some cheap bisket, and cooking it slowly with lots of smoke somehow. So – what shape is brisket and how should [...]

I’m not a big fan of telly, it’s mostly shit. And the single most annoying thing on TV at the moment (after mobile phone ring tone adverts) are these whiging bints and their specialist insurence.
