It seems strange to me that when setting up a terror organisation whose name is supposed to strike fear into all who hear it you should choose to name it after a notoriously uncomfotable and inefficient shiny British toilet paper.

John Peel. An, yes. In 1973 he was MC at the first weekend music festival I went to. In the days before 24 hour radio, he signed off Radio 1 at midnight. I heard him sign off one night during a s
te winter in a traffic jam by Northolt Aerodrome when the gritters were on strike and had crippled the roads in London. One Saturday on his talk programme on Radio 4 a listener asked for suggestions as to why the couple in front of her at the supermarket had bought a trolley laden only with butter. I wrote in to say they were making a life sized sculpture of the Prince of Wales on horseback made entirely of butter. It was read out at the end of the show; his last ever broadcast. It really upset me when he died. He was part of my life.

Going back to food, just brewed my Sweet 'n' Sour pot noodle. I did think that after the highs of company-funded rib-eye steak that this was about as low as I could go, but then I remembered some of the things that I saw escaping from the TT kitchen a few weeks ago.
Suddenly the Pot Noodle became much more appealing.

/Sigh/ I know it was an accident and you wouldn't have done it deliberately. I understand that and I wouldn't really have been cross when you told me, only slightly annoyed but I'm usually fairly pragmatic about these things. I probably wouldn't even have wanted you to pay for the damage had you owned up and said sorry. But scraping the front arch of my car while visiting your friends and not even leaving a note is reprehensible behaviour and in my world, punishable by death. En garde.
