My mother. Why on earth am I related to such a bitch.

You can choose your friends, but you can't choose your family - but remember that everyone is human and makes mistakes.

[TIAL]

I have the same reaction to Howard Stern that I have to all the items Johnny has listed above. *retch*

I can't really decide what I think at the moment. I've only heard one show, and I can see where Chris takes his information. However, whilst Chris does tend to drool over some of the guests (not one of his high points I think), Stern seems to over-do it completely. Maybe I'm too reserved.

[Sunny So Cal]

TIAL! Shame on you. Please don't ever compare them again. After you hear more than one show you'll see that Howard Stern is utterly classless. Moyles's only similarity to that oaf would be that he (Moyles) also pushes the boundaries of what his station will accept. Stern's humoUr is crass and he is vile. The word 'gentlemanly' would never enter his vocabulary, let alone his mannerisms. Moyles, on the other hand, (along with Dave and Dom) has been brought up well, with all the graces that polite society expects. I really wish Stern wasn't American, let alone a New Yorker. I don't like having anything in common with him. I'd sooner eat a heaping spoonful of mushrooms smothered in Marmite than be in the same room as him.

TIAL! Shame on you. Please don't ever compare them again.

Haha. It would be easy not to if Chris hadn't himself named Stern as one of his influences. I do see what you mean though. The differences are big and Chris is clearly the better man.
And my post above should have read 'inspiration' rather than 'information', by the way.

[Sunny So Cal]

I knew what you meant and YES, Chris is clearly the better man as well as more entertaining.

[Yudster]

You sound like my oldest - he has been known to pass out if he overhears a conversation where needles are mentioned. He had to have a blood test a few weeks back, the whole clinic had to be put on alert for him! There's a big difference between "Oooh, I really hate needles" and true needle-phobia.

[catherine]

I need glasses, this is all Topher's fault.

[MK Chris]

I think you'll find I encouraged you to get your eyes tested and I was right to do so...

[Yudster]

You told her to do that? Have you considered the possible consequences of that?!

[MK Chris]

Haha - what, you mean she actually realises what I look like?

[catherine]

he's save from getting the chop for another 2 weeks, at least.

[Johnny 1989]

No, no, no. Marmite goes on toast or with Dairylea in a sandwich

Sauteed Mushrooms have garlic sauce

Stilton/Other blue cheeses on crackers or in french bread, not really on toast TBH.

I can eat less disgusting things though, like, erm, Lamb Tikka Masala & Cod Roe and Chips

You need to stop. Too. Much. Information.

Hmm, the Howard Stern interview with Russell Brand is slightly annoying me. Stern clearly doesn't have a clue who he is and is just reading from notes.

Sorry Sunny, I'll shut up now

[Sunny So Cal]

Thanks!

[MK Chris]

I love cheese and Marmite sandwiches.. I haven't had them for ages actually.

[Sunny So Cal]

Please don't rush out and have one now because of this and then tell me about it. I beg of you. Where's S4? She can start talking about that Guinness Marmite she had ordered a while back. She thought it was gorgeous stuff. To me it seemed like a massive waste of Guinness.

[MK Chris]

To me it seems like a massive waste of Marmite.

Hot toasted crumpet spread with marmite and topped with cold cottage cheese. The best diet food ever, I have it even when I'm not fat.

As oppose to HOT cottage cheese?

[Yudster]

Well its important - part of the pleasure of the combination is the contrast between the hot crumpet which needs to be slightly crisp on the top, and the cold cottage cheese. Also the salty tanginess of the marmite and the blandness of the cheese is a great combination. Its all about flavour and texture contrasts.

[Blinko Glick]

When it comes to contrasts - have you ever tried eating fresh strawberries with ground black pepper?

It's a really amazing taste combination and suprisingly yummy. Healhy too.

[Yudster]

Yep, been trying to tell people about that for ten years!

[Zoot]

Yep, been trying to tell people about that for ten years!

Ha, me too!

If anyone out there has never tried it then do it - sounds weird but works SOOOO well.

[Blinko Glick]

Ah, I knew I was amongst cultured company, dahlings.

As an asides, employment agencies.
They're annoying me today.

Need a job pronto & no one returns my calls.

What a bunch of barstewards.

[TIAL]

I've never heard of that before. I'll definitely have to give that a try next time I go to Tescos!
(well, I'll wait 'till I get back home but you know what I mean)

I'm with you on this one, Guinness is the most over rated beer out there, can't stand the wretched stuff. Give me a Carlsberg or Heineken any day
