What you gonna make with that?

Either a really tiny amount of ketchup or I'll just stick in in a glass of gin and call it an 'alternative Martini'

 

[Clint]

Well,it's not red...yet,so you could go down the chutney route. Or wait and use it sliced,fried in ghee with some fresh coriander to top off an epic rogan josh.

I hate to tell you this....there's no Clangers there.

I beg your pardon sir

Cheers Tom

This year's tomato crop, just so the (usually) quite successful gardener in me doesn't go completely insane, let's just call it...underwhelming.

I've got six string bean plants. So far I've had one bean. My cabbages and broccoli were savaged beyond eating by caterpillars and my longest carrot was just over an inch.

I console myself with the tomatoes which are cropping nicely (sorry) the onions and (from the left field) the huge crop of potatoes I got by planting sprouting ones from the vegetable cupboard.

I'm on 30kg tomatoes, chillies, aubergine, 40+ heads of garlic,lots of onions,probably 50kg of spuds,more runners and French beans than tou could shake a stick at,loads of lettuce and had 30+ cues. Pumpkins are now cropping,sprouts are sprouting,apples and pears are ready soon.

All round to Clint's for a massive stew.

This is were traceability is our best friend. if only people would fight back

aye I have to 'do' with greek style yogurt rather than the fage original as I think it's a bit too far to send yogurt that distance.

Remember when you spent ages recording the top 20 on a Sunday night onto cassette to play in the car over the next week only to have the car stereo chew it up

never with a TDK or a scotch tape

CCTV cameras have captured the moment a pigeon crashed into a man's head as he strolled to the shops.
Michael Speirs, from Nottingham, was en route to his local convenience store when the bird clattered into him.
When I saw the footage back, I thought it was comedy gold and too good not to share.
"The pigeon was fine, just a little dizzy."

Back in the day when the shop came to you -

Newport docks, TR7, Spitfire and MG, its a shame most of them will have been killed by the tin worm many years ago -

We had a TR7 back in the day. Drove to the south of France in it, roof down, getting drenched every traffic light. Good times.
