I'm intrigued you think Luca's bread is as good though. I shall give them a try at the weekend. Edit: Ooh - one more thing. Smoked chipotle chillis. Fandabbydoozy.

Despite the series being drawn, this was a pretty disappointing series for England imho. The two drawn tests were done by lower order desperation/resolve and Paul Collingwood alone displaying the tenacity required from test cricketers. None of the top order have had a goods series with Trott and Pietersen both looking well out of sorts. Cook has improved a little. All will retain their places though due to the lack of high-calibre replacements. Bell seems to be finding form but any attempt to bump him up the order should be avoided. His partnerships with Collingwood have been one of the few bright spots. Matt Prior now looks to be a half-decent wicket keeper but has lost the batting ability that put him in the team in the first place. None of our bowlers have showed true menace with the exception of Swann's first-over hoo-doo. Sidebottom is not international standard. South Africa, if we are honest, deserved a 3-1 victory in this series and should leave the much happier team. Bangladesh awaits but anything less than a whitewash against inferior opposition should lead to some serious soul searching by the selectors and ECB.

The Wool Pack opposite the Garrison is good for a pint and some grub, mind you.

The apocryphal tale is that Dylan wrote Mozambique purely to see how words he could get to rhyme with "Mozambique". Fortunately he soon gave up the idea and just wrote a great song instead. The Live 1975 album has a great big band version.

Girl from the North Country. My girlfriend is only from Tottenham but, hell, it's North London - that'll do.

Well I suspect my partner might object to 7 distillery tours which are, essentially, all the same. But the pubs and bars on the island should have a great range of whiskies to try and I'll be doing my best. It's a walking and whisky holiday with the latter havnig a direct impact on how much of the former we're able to do. Pictures may be posted according to how embaressing they are.

AS long as they get rid of the giant plasma screen all will be well. Trying to have a pint with a 6ft version of Corrie in the corner is not enjoyable. The back room had a pool table which would be nice to keep and it's a big space. The Bishop's food would, whilst not setting the world alight, be a 100% improvement on the god awful sandwiches we got given on the forum's outing to the Wishing Well last year. It's my local so I'll be intrigued as to how it goes. The rooms above are still letting so not sure how that'll work in the future.

Except for their Octomore release which is, officially, the world's peatiest whisky. Mmmm. I'm off to Islay this summer for a week. 7 distilleries in 7 days. Bring it on.

Hi Mark Not to be a pedant, but I presume you want a single malt scotch whisky not a whiskey (which would imply Irish or American)? That being the case and knowing what the shops in the local area stock, I'd recommend the 15 year old Lagavullin which Bossman Wines are selling for ?40 at the moment. It's an Islay whisky which are the most strongly flavoured of all the single malts. Peaty, smoky aromas abound. If you were looking at American bourbon then Woodford Reserve is a decent buy although I seem to remember Green&Blue having an interesting bottle a while ago. They also stock Connemara(sp?) Irish Whiskey which is delicious in a very smooth and mellow way. Far, far different to the Lagavullin. Should be about ?25-30. Hope that helps.

Bob, something tells me you'd cock a snook at armegeddon itself.... "Meh....I'm going back to bed....let me know how it ends." Anyway... Has anyone seen The Road? Can I expect it to be as bleak (or bleaker than the book) or does it keep you entertained, so to speak. Not sure I can manage 90mins of post-apocolyptic doom-mongering if it stays very true to the original narrative.

Mr Ben - oh dear. Ugg boots? For men? Really? Even Alexis Petridis couldn't manage them. Your feet are cold? Get these and become a proper gentleman.

As Gary Lineker's parents owned a fruit and veg stall in Leicester, the only explanation for his endorsement of Walkers crisps is that he is sexually aroused by morbidly obese children.

Tony, is that really you? Have you come back to us? Oh Tony, we have missed you so. Tell us, what news from Kent? And your lady friends? And black people in general? Ah, the good ol' days return...

Went to the 100 Club to see Eli 'Paperboy' Reed & The Trueloves last night. Fantastic. 1960s Stax soul given a modern re-working. Eli Reed sings with the disembodied voice of an old black man from Memphis in the body of a young white man from Boston (who has perhaps had a few too many clam chowders for the suit he was wearing). A super-tight backing band in the shape of the Trueloves provide exemplary support with the horn section proving the highlight. Bass sax has never sounded so sexy. Traditional themes (love, adultery, broken hearts) are the topics for fast-paced and short-lived songs that never outstay their welcome and for a wet, cold Weds night in London there can surely be no one better at putting a smile on your face and a tap in your foot. The encore of 'Explosion' could not be more appropriately titled. The only sour note was perhaps the venue itself. Whilst the 100 Club is rightly of iconic status, and the tickets themselves were good value, at every other turn they seem to try and drain money from you. Extortionate drinks prices and ?2 per item cloakroom charge (it's winter - we all have coats and bags - don't be ?$%^&s) left a slightly foul taste in the mouth.

Islam4UK have a habit of announcing impressively antagonistic events which don't come off. I suspect they sort of mean them to come off,but their organisational skills are very poor. They recently announced a major conference of the role of Islam (or some such) and put stickers up all over London, but the event didn't happen because they couldn't attract suitable speakers,and hadn't thought of arranging that first. They in turn are followers of Bakri Mohammed, who once famously arranged a stunt in which verses of the Koran were put in envelopes, tied to balloons, and released in Trafalgar Square. The trouble was, at no-one point in all the putting-of-verses-into-envelopes-and-tying-them-to-balloons procedure did anyone in his group take note of the fact the resultant unit was heavier than air, so when they hundreds of balloons were released they just stayed on the ground. Choudary, on the other hand, is full of hot wind.

Sunglasses Factory Unbeknownst to me, sunglasses do not come ready assembled from Next. Someone, somewhere, in a warehouse on the outskirts of Tolworth has to sit round a table with 10 middle aged Indian women (none of whom speak English) and press lenses into frames, fit arms to frames and put the whole lot (along with a soft cloth) into the box. That was me. My particular role was to apply the little sticker to the lens informing you of it's UVA/UVB filter status. For 10 hours a day. And get frisked on the way out to check you hadn't nicked a pair. Two days.

Bob, s'funny....that's kinda how I imagined you. Only slightly less happy.

Or even since the 3 great seasons he had at Leeds..... Shame, he was a bloody good 'keeper but he's never been the same since that freak goal when playing for England.

Ooh darling, sharpen those talons any more and you'll draw blood.

Paul Dacre is enough of a bell-end as it is. Appointing Bushell might cause the world to implode due to stupidity.

Angola 4-4 Mali WTF! In the opening game......4-0 with 11 minutes left to play??? And Liverpool think they can do comebacks?

Piss flaps - just posted on my girlfriend's account! Heh.
