Now this is way cool

I know, it has been ages. Real life, eh? But this is so damned cool it has to be given a nod.

Woo hoo!

Goodbye Mayfair, hello St Albans!

Yay! Small City writer's blog

If Shakespeare... had a blog it would be like this.

This is important

Bookmark it and send it to everybody you know.

Because all liars need rebutting

In the wash...

A FoF has had issues with getting cash back from B&Q Appliance Warehouse who are being a bit crap.

For what it is worth, I used the Co-op online store who were really rather good. Having said that, the moral of this story is 'pay by credit card'.

Mum had a stock answer....

....whenever I asked her how long my latest new food experience would take to cook:

"Until it's done".

Which is fair enough really. I mention this solely because I stumbled upon another bit of Mum's wisdom - serving as a bookmark on an old cooking book:

Boil : Wija, Estima
Chip : Maris Piper
Roast : King Edward, Desiree
Baked : Cara
Mash : King Edward, Romano

So now you know what to do with your spuds.

It's on today, the CAMRA real ale festival at the Alban Arena. The one occasion when the average age of the average person in Saturday-evening-small-city-centre-St-Albans goes up by around twenty years.

Anti age discrimination legislation at work comes into force across the UK tomorrow, but even small city centres are geared towards keeping the over-30s away after dark.
