And waste a perfectly good toastie? As if!

This has made me cry with laughter and I have no idea why

That's everyone in the world nowadays like. The number of people walking down the street who seem entirely unaware they're taking up the whole pavement and walking at a snail's pace. (Very #middleclassproblems I know, but still)

What'd he say like?

Back in from the Save Lewisham Hospital march and demonstration. Frankly baffling situation whereby a successful and profitable A&E and maternity unit are being punished because the neighbouring trusts are loss-making. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-21196758 Good to see so many people out on the march, anyway - I was worried it'd be co-opted by the usual socialist niche groups, but their banners were largely outnumbered by regular folks' (although there was one fella with a megaphone who seemed to think he was the figurehead of a new "Occupy" movement).

A matter of two seconds on Google. Formatting the post, on the other hand...

Don't give him ideas.....

I echo these sentiments

Can certainly recommend the Baltics, especially Vilnius in Lithuania, cheap and cheerful and great for beer and food. Friends say good things about Tallinn and Gdansk (the latter isn't the most obvious place to visit but apparently it's really nice, and very much as per Vilnius on the beer/grub front). The Aegean in August could be very warm.

That's not a very nice pet name for CT.

Merveilleux!

I hear if you mop up a calorie with bread and butter, it stops being a calorie.

Some people feel content pouring olive oil on shit and calling it pukka their whole lives.

There's nothing healthier.

OK, even I'm feeling a bit guilty now. Going to get some prawns out to defrost for tonight's offering, the trusty "paella" from Ainsley's Meals In Minutes. The inevitable tweaks: Ditch the vegetable oil and smoked ham, replacing it with 100-125g of cubed chorizo, slowly fried in a dry pan to release its own oil before the onions are added. Much tastier. And if using stock cubes (as I will be), you can easily use half as many as usual (with the same quantity of water) to seriously cut down on the salt - there's plenty of flavour in there from the chorizo, paprika and co. already. (Since it's a nice easy evening meal, I'll even forgive the fruity "Ooh, how about a glass of Rioja?". What a wally that man is. )

3-5 cheesecake portions, garam masala sauce, packet of tagliatelle, sorted.

She's legit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paula_deen Amazingly, she announced last year that she has type 2 diabetes.

Meanwhile, we sing "Don't sell Cabaye" to the tune of bloody "Achy Breaky Heart".

Seems like the French clique is causing unrest among certain other Frenchmen... @MiguelDelaney: Wenger: "We are not after any French player, you can forget that... they go to Newcastle." ‏@johncrossmirror #afc Wenger says unfair clubs like Newcastle can make wholesale changes. Unfair on clubs who have already played them twice

Djokovic seems to be back in scary form.

Here's one for you CT:
