Somehow don’t quite manage to deliver compared to e.g. roast pork with crackling; crispy bacon; ham; etc. But thanks for the tip. Now, tomorrow or Sunday may just see the return to Black Pudding. I’ll let you know how it goes ….
Maybe going to hell according to a Channel 4 documentry on the Westboro Baptist Church. It wasn;t the greatest documentary ever but it certainly gave an insight into these extremists from the mid-West. It’s a nasty view of the Gospel that is peddled even if it appears to be obbsessed with sins of the flesh. [...]
When I heard the news of his demise I was thinking about Bernard ‘Turkey’ Matthews. Then it came home that the odious showman from oop North had croaked. Old school, yes. Bigoted, absolutely. It’s sad when people die. But somehow I can’t help but feel glad that I won’t have to hear recycled racism presented [...]

It’s funny how some things make you feel old. Ian Botham retiring was one. Beefy becoming ‘Sir Beefy’ was another. But seeing Liz Reg in lime green doing Trooping The Colour from a horse and cart made me feel very old. As a kid I went down to London and tried to see the event [...]
