Chocolate and giblet soil. Beetroot and apple crumble soil. Special B&Q soil. <br /><br />Beer, shower gel and sardines is nothing. I look forward to the day when Gordon Ramsay drops a huge turd on a plate and slathers it with his special urine reduction and then charges a fortune for it. The most honest meal you'll ever eat.

I thought she was from 'On the Buses' !<br /><br />As an aside on the subject of eating your bathroom cabinet... On 'Only in Kavos' ( the perfect antidote to 'Masterchef' if ever there was one ) we were treated to the sight of lads drinking beer mixed with shower gel and sardines. <br /><br />How long before that appears on 'Masterchef' ?Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070505642533336362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-75576055231636180342013-12-07T11:51:06.145+01:002013-12-07T11:51:06.145+01:00Marginalia: I can tell you that after a lifetime o...Marginalia: I can tell you that after a lifetime of clinical trials Lynx definitely does not work.
