Those bangers ain't gonna make themselves! Off to make 220 packets of snorkers. I'm tired just thinking about it. Back in about nine hours. -

I think I might be permitted a little "woo hoo!" Most exciting back I've seen over here in the last ten years. As for the union hint from Canetman, he is possibly too slight to play at full back / wing in the XVs. My feeling is that one of the big British SL teams will be having a very good look at the lad. -

Caramelised red onion bangers for tea! Might indulge myself and sling a couple of free range eggs in as well. Washing the ensemble down with a cheeky red from Cases de Pene (two litres of which cost me a packet of sausages this morning). Still absolutely no sign of a diet here. If anyone sees my feet please let me know how they are. -

Really regretting sporting a pair of rugby shorts, plastic croc thingys, and a t shirt today as it is blowing a hooley up here..... Pride prevents me changing the bottom half of my attire so I am now snug in the top half with a fleece. Looking a complete loon as ever. -

Twas album of the day on 6 music the other day. I was rather impressed and surprised (as well as having a bit of a dislocated feeling, desperately seeking hair gel and cavalry shirt). I didn't like them very much back in the day, but I was wrong. -

Currently watching and listening to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds live from Coachella http://www.slicingupeyeballs.com/2013/04/16/nick-cave-bad-seeds-coachella-video/ Edit: Didn't realise he was doing Stagger Lee. Very potty mouthed, naughty Mr Cave. -

Big thing to happen for me in the vittals department in Australia since I was last there eleven years ago was the incredible growth in the small brewery market, and the consequent improvement in the mainstream. Spent far too much time in places like this: http://www.archivebeerboutique.com.au/ Just about all still pasteurised but compensating with some great smoky, hoppy, malty flavours. All still cold enough to take the enamel off your teeth. Coopers is still battling ("improving Australian pubs one tap at a time") but is no longer a stand out in the same way that it used to be. Even the old rogues like VB and XXXX are now changing the recipes, taking out preservatives and still not tasting of very much but at least are a little more hangover friendly. The James Squire range seems to be everywhere and is not bad at all - its one fifty lashes is one of several very good IPA;s now doing the rounds. The whole lot of course is mouthwateringly expensive. Paid around a tenner in many places outside happy hours for a schooner and a midi. Ouch. Loved the response from the barman at the Hero of Waterloo when I asked him if there was a happy hour. "No mate, helps keep out the amateurs". -

http://www.itv.com/news/anglia/2013-02-05/royal-opening-for-new-scanner/ Ickle bruv meeting Mrs Betty Queen (in the first of the photos). Sporting his newly acquired Spencer Hart whistle I sincerely hope that he did not live up to the label on this occasion.
