Medley

A few odds and ends to clear up tonight.

First off, I made Bread and Butter Pudding for the first time ever, and it came out absolutely superb. The recipe is from Mary Berry. Could have perhaps done with 10-20% more milk+egg mixture to make it looser.

Tim Hunkin is an inventor, genius and writer. He wrote a series of cartoons entitled Almost Everything There Is To Know for the Observer during the 1980s. It lives up to its name. This is what it has to say about snails (click to get a super-sized version):

Circulus, in video:

Long long ago, in a land far away about 10 years ago I used to work with an extremely talented chap called Charlie Muirhead. He was young, good looking etc etc and therefore had lots of talentless blonde female friends. One day two of them called me up about some pointless waste of the web shopping site which they had got their rich daddies to buy for them. They wanted me to fix it for them the day before it was going to launch, and that’s a long story in itself. Well, fuck me if Trinny and Susannah didn’t become a lot richer and more famous than me soon after.
To add insult to injury, I can’t even go into to kitchen without seeing their talentless ugly faces:

    But Richard, one of those British TV programmes I miss so much is “What Not To Wear” ne. ( I remember an English male friend once called me “you’re vain”. No doubt that I slapped his face next day.) Seems the series will be coming back with new presenters. But I wonder it will be another success – as they’re not bitchy blondes?

    I happened to see her (a bigger one, well, used to be) and her families in a train of north bound victoira line. The husband was good looking and so were the kids – a tipical wealthy family! Fxxx

    I can’t believe you like “What not to wear”! My estimation of you has gone down so much!
    Rich.

    You only looked a facade covering up a naked woman.

    Attention: Never mentioned I adored them. I dislike them for the same reason as yours. I simply liked the programme. You are only amazed by the fact how colours affect people’s lives. Now I’m wearing 赤パン because it’s been said to be good for health.
    Do not wear a black one, man! マジで 笑!

    Eh, I don’t want to know about your knickers(???)

    Actually, 赤パン made Richard excited!

    However,I quite like this TV programme
    http://www.channel4.com/life/microsites/H/htlgn/
    It’s called “How to look good naked”.

    Gok Wan gives all type of women dreams and confident and ideas,and changes their look better without
    cosmetic surgery,and eventually they take clothes off and posing with confident in front of camera,even they hated themself before.

    I must say, mine’s not a saucy one! Bridget Jone’s, sort of…
    (部屋着としてね。みなさま、オススメですよ!)

    Yes. I like watching them being happy after the makeovers.
