The only chefs I pay heed to are those who feature in Chef and My Fridge.
And Judy Joo.

The TV chef I felt the most ill will towards has now died. He's become more powerful than I can possibly imagine so I'm keeping my mouth shut.

Yesterday was a full gaming day. Today I've regretted my turnip purchase in ACNH because there's a high probability that I have a descending pattern on my hands this week. I won't lose faith until Thursday afternoon, but it doesn't look promising.
Three hours of Trails in the Sky stream in the evening and it looks as if we are close to the final battle.
Also more Xenoblade Chronicles. I now have over 50 hours in that game and I'm totally addicted to it. I have uncovered all the landmarks of Satorl Marsh, including the ruins that are guarded by a gaggle of overlevelled goonsBaelfael Gogols. Why do you hate archaeologists?
At 5 minutes to midnight I remembered that the indie games eshop sale was coming to an end, so I quickly snatched up Inside, The Talos Principle, Transistor, and Wandersong, all at 75-85% off. Hard to argue with those prices, although there's no chance of playing any of these while I'm in the clutches of this Xenoblade addiction.

we had a knife chat?
I have a pugio, gladius and a knife a mate brought back from Nepal.
The pilum, though not a knife, is very sharp. It's what I fear most.

I had a friend at primary school who had knives. Well - you know - pen knives and a Swiss Army knife. I was never really allowed one. Well - until I went on a holiday to the Caledonian Canal. I begged to be allowed to have a tartan pen knife sold in a souvenir shop.
It wasn't very sharp.

I am a knife crime survivor. Ah yes it's true. When I was eleven I was held up by a friend with a combat knife. He said he would slit my throat if I didn't go and steal car badges with him.

I now have an image in my mind of Lazy as a cut rate Flava Flav, with a giant hood ornament draped around his neck. A VW badge, maybe.
Blandy Bland?
Mildy Mild?

I’m making light of what was probably a traumatic event there.
Oh well. How many did you steal, Lazy?

Rocking up to the back of a jeep and nicking the wheel to wear around your neck? Glad it wasn't in South Africa. It looks like Dom and Boris have fallen out, can anything worse come out? |

It was actually in Southport, the boondocks of Merseyside, where I lived before we moved to Sutton Coldfield. All I did was look out, from what I can remember. I don't think I stayed long. I think, in the end I may have walked off in disgust because my friend had pulled a knife on me. It's lost in the midst of the psychological repression ... I am fairly sure I only gave token support. |

Imagine you walk into a room. Michael Gove's head is poking up from a hole in the floor. It's horrible, like in a nightmare. You stamp on the head, but it bounces back, intact, like it's made of rubber: Like the heads of the figurines for He-Man and the A-Team.
This is the essence of Gove.

I was stabbed in the hand once. I was living in a hostel in Belsize Park and had gone out for a few in Camden. At the time there were issues with unsavoury types who would wander up and mug the richer folk who lived there.
As I staggered home someone jumped out of a garden with a knife and pointed at me. Being somewhat inebriated my hand decided to incapacitate the knife by slamming an open palm onto it.
We locked eyes and the chap seemed very confused, as was I. He let go of the knife and ran away.
I returned to find my roomate, who I had gone drinking with but managed to get separated from, lying naked outside our room asleep and covered in vomit.
It was a simpler time..
