Great British Menu confusion

No wonder Stephen (the Master chef winner) left in a marked manner at the start of this week. This week’s chefs may have referred to their helpers as sous-chefs but not our Jenny – oh no!
Kitchen Porters
That’s what she called them last night.
Princess Beatrice should have dotted her one with a skillet!
And what happened [...]

Congratulations to the Highways Agency

I would like to congratulate the Highways Agency
At long last they have made good use of their Matrix Signs
On the M4  last  Friday they announced that  there is likely to be a road block at Junction 16 this week -  and so they are going to put on Badminton for us – it seems a [...]

This technology stuff is beyond me!

I really don’t understand all these techy gadgets.
Were you saying last week that if I eat a Blackberry I will get a Bluetooth?

An Opportunity for Deadly to shine!

Broadcast
At last the perfect opportunity for Deadly – fame is just round the corner!
He must Apply now to the One Show.
They are looking for someone to become the next Percy Edwards – and Deadly – surely – must be in with a chance!!
In the meantime – you – Sir – should be their next guest [...]

Attention Lynn – Barnsley Chop may be no more!

Broadcast
Lynn – I’m afraid I have some bad news.
Your ardent admirer – Barnsley Chop – may have met an untimely end at the hands one of the Great British Menu chefs.
Last night Chef Tom Kitchin insisted on using a Barnsley Chop in his main dish.
Sorry – but I felt it was only fair to let [...]

Ode to the Great British Menu!…

Broadcast
I must go down to the kitchen again – to the place where chefs hang out
And all I’ll need is a novel idea and some ingredients to spread about.
And Jenny’ll shout and Jenny’ll roar – And try to whip up a storm
And with a muddy pike and a wild Boar – I’ll cover my Plates [...]

The Ever Baffling Great British menu!

Now wasn’t it a happy kitchen last night! Maybe it was all those ‘Cheeky’ bits of Wild Boar running through that rather baffling “British Breakfast“ Starter!
As a Conn-osserr of a good – proper – British Breakfast – what did you think of it? I thought it lacked substance.
But even Stephen [...]

Find a Nancy Hunt

Broadcast
So what was going on – on Saturday’s outing of the ‘Find a Nancy’ .
The whole “Sing to Andrew” business was rather surreal. No sign of the Great Lord – just a Harry Potter style moving picture propped up on his throne – albeit at a very rakish angle! – which Graham [...]

Ode for all the BAFTA losers:

I went off to the BAFTAs
But nothing did I win
I smiled at all the winners
With a steely grin
I applauded all their speeches
Even though they made me groan
I wish I hadn’t bothered
I could have stayed at home!

Smoke!

Due to the prevailing global cooling today and to avoid complete freezing over of the Whitebytts household, Major Dickie kindled a fire (in the fireplace).
What neither of us had appreciated was the local family of jackdaws who are nesting in the adjacent chimney stack, have also been posting a large number of twigs down our [...]
