What are your current priority projects?

For example: For me, riding to north pole on a Shetland pony for a sordid orgy with the wrong half of Buck's Fizz is about warm clothing and picking the right music.

I think it helps if you've actually started 'doing' something, before you can declare what it's 'about'.

I too enjoy doing gardening to a very high standard. Does anyone else enjoy doing gardening to a very high standard? If not, what standard do most people achieve when doing gardening?

The thing is about vegetarian cookery (of which I do a reasonable amount) is that you have to work so much harder to achieve flavour - when at the back of your mind you know that a few small cubes of pancetta will fix everything.

Jeremy, square bowls come with an added premium on top and for me, lost their coolness quite some time ago and now appeal to the don't know any better crowd.

I'm currently in the process of making my own breakfast. The main reason for me making my own breakfast is so that I can tick all the boxes for my requirements. For example, the bowl must be round, the milk must be quite cold and not 'on the turn' - and the spoon must be made from high quality metal. Kelloggs, Nestl? and Quaker are just some of the higher-end companies producing cereals for breakfast.

I'd like to grow basil too all year round too. And other herbs, of course. But mostly basil. Lots and lots and lots and LOTS of basil.

The only thing here which is 'bitching' is Undisputedtruth's HI-FIDELITY AUDIO SYSTEM. See that frequency response? Read it - and weep.

So you're all set. You've got your cassette deck with 'feather touch' buttons, Dolby HX-Pro and pointlessly slow eject mechanism. The speakers are on acoustically treated stands, placed at optimum stereo separation. You've got your gold-plated leads and your cables have less oxygen (or something) in them than the other ones you could have bought (or is it more..? whatever..) So all that remains is to kick your loafers off, slip REO Speedwagon on and crank that mutha all the way up to '4'.

Fun, fun, fun!

Oh come on - they'll only have a half-life of 6000 years. By then almost everything will be made out of bright blue plastic anyway - even the trees.

Mistakes do happen. I can only hope you're more careful when hunched over a desk with a soldering iron and bag of bits from Maplin, awaiting global armageddon.

How about "East Dulwich Blue Bin"

Apologies - misread your post as 'wank_needs', not 'work needs'

I think James could be right about the link between blue bins and the crime. Every time I see one, it makes me want to go on a murderous rampage in Argos.

I don't know the woman as such, but anyone who fashions their hair in the shape of a giant bell-end can't be all bad.

What about Russia? Stalinist Russia. They probably wouldn't have worried about the colour of the bins there either. That works too. If you don't like the bins - back to Russia.

I mean, earlier today I was planning on buying some shoes but then I thought: hang on.. in 'Africa' (or somewhere), they probably don't have shoes (or something) so instead I put a brown paper bag on each foot - and was grateful.

First the bins and now the tumblers. It's a slippery slope - give it another couple of years and there'll be rotting corpses in the street and no-one will bat an eyelid - mark my words.

Has anyone caught 'Drive'? I missed the hype so knew nothing about it beforehand. It's risible, pointlessly pretentious, shambolic, shallow and gratuitously unpleasant. It really is one bad film. We ought to be talking Razzies here.. why is this film generating a positive reaction amongst reviewers?

I agree wholeheartedly. Lordship Lane on a Saturday is awash with faux country-gent clothing, silver-topped canes, classic cars and Russian prostitutes. On Saturdays I usually go to Croydon or Mitcham.

A bloke in a dress?
