Disaster! Our favourite Chinese takeaway says they can’t do the chicken satay the way I like it any more. It turns out that nobody else round here likes it.  The one that everyone likes and which every Chinese place in town does is not the right colour, not the right texture and has the wrong […]

Harvester of Sorrow
January 30th, 2011 · Comments Off on Harvester of Sorrow · Life
Last night I found out where Metallica got the inspiration for their song Harvester of Sorrow, when we went out for a meal. I won’t say where, but if I say it wasn’t called Sorrow, you will probably guess. There were about twelve of us and a few had been working, in one case up […]

Wabi, Horsham
July 10th, 2010 · Comments Off on Wabi, Horsham · Life
Saturday’s Guardian has a review of the new Wabi restaurant in Horsham’s East Street. I don’t think they liked it. When the phrase “it reeks of death” appears in the opening paragraph you sense that the rest of the review will not go well.

Apperently times are harder for some than for others if Selfridges reckon they will sell a leg of ham at a price of more than £250 a kilo (and than includes the bone!) according to the BBC. You would want to be sparing with the Branston on that wouldn’t you?

Is it really such big news that Cadbury are bringing back the Wispa bar? I’m not saying that I wouldn’t turn one down, but they have only been out of the shops for five years and, lets be honest now, were always a poor attempt at trying to appeal to Aero fans, and when Aero […]
