Plump and firm like a Thomas Hardy milkmaid. That's an oyster apparently.

Ah, see, cos she's all so literary n that.


She might once have been rubenesque but now she's just really fricking irritating and makes cooking the most ludicrously pretentious thing on the tv - good call BBC not recomissioning...

To be honest, I quite like the concept of weaving in some literature with the cooking - food has a great tradition in art in all its forms (and you only have to read Isabel Allende's Aphrodite to start salivating with gluttony / lust).


But for all her formerly Rubenesque ways, no sybarite she. You get no sense with Sophie Dahl that she'd like to roll around in her own chocolate cake (unlike Nigella) and she's had a complete charisma bypass from what I can tell - stop playing on your grand dad's name love and go and marry that funny wee jazz man.


Sorry, I do seem to have warmed to katie's theme rather.

I saw this. It made me cringe. I liked her before this because she seemed rather down to earth. I was a huge Roald Dahl fan and the idea that Sophie in the BFG was based on her made her seem ace. This programme, where she bleats on about 'decadence' and prepares dinner party spreads requiring about a grands worth of grub means she irritates me big time, now.

I wouldn't mind so much if she was still Rubenesque and was saying 'ooh look at all this delicious food...I LOVE it'!

I've only seen small portions of the show.

After the rough and tumble thrillfest that is Saturday Kitchen (the omelette challenge. Will the final dish be heaven or hell? How many times will JimboM mention Yorkshire? And put loads of butter into something after mentioning Yorkshire with an arch look to camera?) I find I need to calm down with the last half hour of Monk on the ITV.


Has she ever prepared a dhal on the programme?

If not I reckon she and her director are missing a biggish trick there.

Following in the fine tradition laid-down by Harold Wilson's chat show, this programme has that tangible air of 'everyone involved knows it isn't really working, but now it's too late to pull it'.


In short, it's a rotter. And Lord knows I know one when I see one.. I've had a greasy hand in more than a few.

An apt description.


Alas, I can't take the credit for the music on this occasion. That honour goes to top-prize-in-theme-music-raffle-winner - Weakest Link composer - Paul.


And here's a snap of him relaxing at home. Seems money can't buy you everything after all.

      Where have all the pigeons gone?

      By Mabaker · Posted

      Well, they're back today. Something must have spooked them yesterday. And yes, like Angelina, my pigeons are also well turned out. They all wear the same uniform. I think they may be stock doves. As well as Mr and Mrs Woodpigeon I also get the collared doves.

      they probably frequent the parks more in summer when there are more people around, dropping food etc.  Likewise, I haven't seen as many in my garden recently.

      Crikey! This Doesn't Look Good For The Housing Secretary

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      The discussion has been about the silence from certain posters about Truss's disastrous actions. Your 'gotcha' is merely a deflection.

      Crikey! This Doesn't Look Good For The Housing Secretary

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      The banking crisis was a global event which enabled the Tories victory and to this day is somehow used against Labour  covid and furlough are under events which impacted economy.  But guess what? Not just the uk economy! energy prices a result of the Russian invasion, something Johnson said would never happen and as we seek to remove ourselves from non-renewable and Russian controlled natural resources, we have Tories and reform condemning Labour for pursuing renewables. Something most other sane countries are doing  We must also not forget the mad relative in the attic.  Brexit.  Something which contributed massively both to the black hole and to the foreseeable future lack of growth  (this is something starmer has also bizarrely tied himself to. Presumably in an attempt to placate the media/loons who think it was a good idea but which will fail in both aims)
