WrongMite
Monday, March 13th, 2006
if ever i heard a scary food story, this is it.. the marmite jar is to go ? squeezy marmite that squeeze had better have a fine action because some people don’t like much marmite. i don’t like the idea of a food being modified to suit the packaging.
a question of eggs
Saturday, March 4th, 2006
My suspicions have recently been raised about supermarket eggs. A recent purchase of Asda organic eggs first made me suspicious, as they are certified by an authority other than the Soil Association. This makes me suspicious because, if I were a supermarket selling a product which could be certified by the Soil Association, I would [...]
vinegar breath
Saturday, December 31st, 2005
i woke up this morning, needing a drink of water. i grabbed the nearest bottle of water – only to find that it was the bottle i had carefully placed away from the floor to stop it being knocked over – containing not water, but decanted red wine vinegar. a swig of that wasn’t exactly [...]

biscuit tin
Friday, November 25th, 2005
whoever invented biscuit tins was a moron. there is clearly no need for them, because since when did a worthy-of-eating biscuit ever exist long enough to go stale? and who wants to keep biscuits which aren’t worthy of eating?
a first class experience
Friday, September 9th, 2005
Yesterday I moved to Edinburgh using a Virgin Train. I travelled first class, because for some reason it was the only advance ticket Virgin would sell me, and it was only £25. Unfortunately, Virgin’s complementary food wasn’t so first class, although there was a lot of it. During the journey I knowingly consumed E134, E127, [...]
extra wimpy
Wednesday, July 27th, 2005
on a visit to Brighton last week, I discovered there is not 1 new Wimpy in the city, but 2! I didn’t take a picture of the 2nd one, it looked quite a lot like the 1st.
life without pizza
Wednesday, July 27th, 2005
can you imagine life without pizza? obviously some people can’t, or else they wouldn’t have invented the in-car pizza oven. pizza wherever you go (as long as you drive a car!). could you generate 12V with a hub dynamo?
fake plastic cheese
Monday, July 18th, 2005
i made an interesting observation while working at the annual ashton court festival this weekend. ‘a selection of cheeses’ appeared on a number of larger band riders during the course of the weekend, however not a single artist actually ate any of the supplied cheese. i suggested that next year we purchase a single selection [...]
