Judge Rinder got involved after the streaker was arrested.

Ah, so the pigs did catch him!

Schrodie likes the smell of pilchard sandwiches .

What you call doner kebab we call gyros (hiroz) or shawerma.

We have Gyros too. I doubt people from either country would like me saying it but it is probably another "Swedish Meatballs" moment.

I found out yesterday that I need a stumpy Phillip's screwdriver. Particularly in connection with adjusting water pressure valves on cisterns. Are they different sizes? or is there one particular size for plumbing tasks?

Are you sure it's Phillips & not Pozi-drive? But yes there are different sizes, you have 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5

Working on a new CV in the hope I can produce one that fits the German style a bit better.

Crammed four pages into one, and added a different photo, I'll probably still have to pay for a proper picture but that's a start.

Oh, and it's Bl@@dy boring now, but apparently that's what's needed.

Still feeling bleurgh, but less creaky and less than yesterday. I could still loan myself out as riot control, cos to put it bluntly, there's no delicate ladylike way of saying I'm stinking the place out.

Have been doing the traditional (well, since 1989) Casa Reynard "feeling ill" thing and watching live feed from the House of Commons. Will switch to the athletics later.

Although I will need to tie up a rose bush that's developed a distinct list. Rugosa thorns at face height aren't a good idea.

Otherwise, it would taste like roast pork. Folk in Britain and Ireland mostly eat back bacon, over here if you order bacon, you will get streaky bacon invariably, unless you order "Canadian" bacon. I also eat jowl bacon, or Guanciale, now and again.

Also, to make it keep. Good quality dry cure bacon will keep for months in the fridge with no need to freeze.

Streaky bacon is lovely, though it's a lot leaner than it used to be. Still, it's brilliant for wrapping around fish or chicken. For sandwiches and fry-ups I prefer back bacon, but since I get most of mine on sticker, I'm relatively unfussy.

The only question is smoked, unsmoked or maple-cured...

Bacon is rash, eating it is rasher.

No need to hog all the puns... I've got my snout in that trough as well, you know.

Sausage puns are the Wurst.

Sausage puns are the Wurst.

You're on a roll now...

Mustard and onions, anyone?

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Sausage puns are the Wurst.

Is there no end to the puns being trotted out, give me a moment to come up with my best fry.

Are you sure this is the thyme or plaice for this?

I trust you will be able to give us sage advice on this question

I hope so, else I'll be rue-ing the fact...
