A sprout is for breakfast, not just for christmas

Posted at 4:20am on Sunday, November 24th, 2002

Just heard on the news that the British Sprout Growers Association is spending a 6 figure sum on persuading us that the sprout is for more than christmas dinner. Apparently a "top chef" is recommending that we have sprout omelette for breakfast… Interestingly a search on the BBC for this news throws up a very similar story from 2 years ago. They gotta keep trying I suppose, but please… Sprout Omelette? Sprout Quiche? Eurgh…

18 in a row. 18!

Posted at 4:20am on Saturday, November 23rd, 2002

Oh my God… What a fortnight for English rubgy - we’ve played out of our skins and we’ve beaten all three of the Southern Hemisphere teams. And we have a world beating 18 wins at home in a row. Beating the Springboks today 53-3 almost makes you forget the fact that we’re 36 for 3 in the 2nd innings of the second test in Adelaide.

Roll on the world cup - we’ll have ‘em all…

All I need now is for Gloucester to beat Leeds tomorrow and I’ll forget the cricket altogether.

If you are golf obsessed (and I suppose as we slowly move into management we should be) you can practice your putting while on the bog. Nice.

This guy collects dice…

Posted at 4:20am on Wednesday, November 20th, 2002

And when I say he collects them, boy does he collect them. Apparently (and I quote) "Not all dice are just cubic dice with 6 faces.
You can find dice with only 3 sides and up to 100 sides !!! Incredible isn’t it."

Yes, quite…

We may as well go home now…

Oh dear oh dear oh dear… Not only is Flintoff definitely out, but Giles has fractured his wrist. I suppose that when we are well and truly beat we can console ourselves by saying we weren’t at full strength…

At least we beat the convicts at rugby this weekend. Small comfort, but there you go

According to a corporate presentation from Boeing there is a slump in the space industry meaning that they have loads of rockets that no-one wants… Anyone want to club together?

Man, that was trippy (slight return)

Apparently not only was John the Baptist a bit of a head, but Jesus was too… A new report suggests that he was eating Fly Agaric at the last supper.
