At last a cure for boil(s)

Take 2 lumps twice a day:
Bought some Turkish Delight last night (called Bodrum a bit bland not very perfumed, nice texture though)

It does have an excellent bit of blurb though:

"Nutritional & health benefits Of Turkish Delights
Turkish Delight is both a natural and healthy source of nutrition, and is know to have health benefits. One of the key benefits of Turkish delight is its carbohydrate (it's virtually all that's in it recipe ed) content. Especially patients suffering from Kidney disorders are recommended to regularly consume Turkish Delight to dispose uric acid and excess Keratin that builds up in foods high in protein and are taken into the system. Turkish delight is also widely known to be one of the most powerful cures of boil (sic)"

So there you have it when did you last see kit kat claiming to cure gout and clear up your skin!

Christmas is cancelled is early this year:

Normally the annual snow storm of "loony pc gone mad local council bans christmas" stories don't start until 6th Nov (it's traditional!) but the Times has brought even this aspect of the Yule build up forward this year.

Shoe horned random cultural collision pt12


Never stop looking.....
Thought I saw Pat Kane from Hue & Cry outside a pub in Cambridge Circus the other day. Not sure what he’s doing at present this doesn’t look like a real job maybe he had an appointment with George Smiley! Anyway as I recall he and his brother were looking for Linda on "slow train to Paisley”



Well I’m not sure they looked very hard because here she is in the chiller cabinet of my local shop. It’s pleasingly retro pop (not unlike Hue and Cry!) with that old skool essential for litter bugs a detachable ring pull and a pound and half of tartrazine as well hurrah! It's from the middle east ,the pomegranate flavours interesting too!

It Goes well with gin double Hurrah!















How plain can they make it Pat!








For younger readers: this is a ring pull .








Ps This might be Linda in Arabic!
