6 December 2011

The long suffering husband and I have gone a bit MAD and bought Howies back……well we started it 21 years ago,  flogged it 5 years ago and with a name like David HOWIE Scott it was inevitable we would have to get out hands on it again when we heard it was up for sale. [...]

My enquiry is how is Levinson going to punish these evil swines?

25 November 2011

The irony of the Levinson Enquiry being mentioned briefly in passing by certain publications is not lost on anyone.   The normal form for such a glittering procession of the worlds best known stars would have been served by 50 paps blocking every road and doorway poking g their intrusive lens’s into the faces of [...]

Happy Halloween – I’m starving!

31 October 2011

Yeh so I was on the Fred MacAulay show this morning talking about food. Me? Yes. I was asked to deliberately eat slowly this weekend – chewing each mouthful 20 – 40 times each.
