Cheers Wolf. (sets watch till someone tells us he was a veggie)


Muley, you mean Rick Stein, of course. I'd like to pour impotent scorn on him from behind my sweaty keyboard, but he seems a decent sort of chap. That Chalky was a right bellend, thoughbut.

That's the fella. Always seems truly enthusiastic about the food, rather than bolstering his own celebrity. You're right about that little git Chalky though- probably took his name from a Jim Davidson 'joke'...

Yeah, he does a mean pork sword.

TM I did for a short time genuinely think that Kev and Brian were the same person. I put their differing sizes down to somewhat dodgy eyesight and perhaps doing more vodka at the time than even John Torode does these days.

What innocent drunk telly watching days, they were. Absolutly over now of course.

Well done RD but is Padme Lakshmi really a chef even though she's really fit.


Aside from that. How could we forget possibly the most annoying chef of all time and lore. Remember when channel 5 was launched and we had to put up with the one and only Nancy Lam.

I rest my case.

    • There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.
    • They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
    • Is it lame? Or is it Lamey? (sorry)
