Tip of the day

Never ask a child IF they need the loo... moodlum

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

Johnny Rotten is right there. Bunch of whingers!
I liked Johnny Rotten's description of them as looking "like a gang of little poncey masturbators"

They are the new U2.

Coldplay's version is better (not saying very much).

No wonder Chris Martin is touchy.
