so-called "Ryan Haynes"

When you say he was on MI5's radar, he was brought to the attention of the security services last year because of a rumour about him investigating going to Syria (or Libya, depending on which version you read). MI5 reportedly investigated the report and decided there was no further action...

TVP said in the early stages of the investigation that they were being assisted by Counter-Terrorism South-East, although they didn't (at that stage) believe it to be terror-related. I assume that evidence they gathered (shortly after Matt Hancock made himself look a bit foolish on telly by...

He'll get sent to the extremist unit at HMP Long Lartin, near Evesham, where he can spend his time radicalising other innocents. Personally, i don't think it is particularly helpful pinning a label on something like this as being "terrorism". It doesn't make any difference to the atrocity of the...

The French have a white sausage called Andouillette made from chitterlings. Have had them, but not sure i'd rush back ...!

Very dishonourable mention for Marosi's missus. Yum!

My sugar snap peas are described as the first purple variety, called Purple Magnolia. They are soooo sweet! Quite attractive in the plot too, as they have pink and purple flowers, so look a bit like sweet-peas. The other good thing about them is that they retain the purple colour when you cook...

That is precisely why face masks or coverings are not the best way to control virus transmission - people DON'T know or understand how to use them properly. In the workplace, personal protective equipment is always classified as the "control measure of last resort" in a hierarchy, because there...

Oops - only 52! Sorry, love!

Hi Guys All the veg on our dinner plate last night came out of the garden - spuds, sugar-snap peas and courgettes! Courgettes, squashes, marrows and sweetcorn all doing very well outdoors (the soaker hose was really helpful during the dry weather). Cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes all coming...

It's not the same woman with the shabby curtains is it? Someone's missus, weren't it? But this lady is very classy-looking. Do we get to guess her age - i'd say a very well-preserved 55.

Does he need one?

They're nice provided you can catch the buggers!

Better than them, anyway!

So @Houchens Head posted this to kick the thread off - i believe you, sir, win the prize (sadly, as it goes)

That was a mirror! (Sorry - cheap jibe - couldn't resist!)

A colleague had a sheep's brain curry in a swanky Indian in Manchester last year. Obviously not heard of variant CJD!

Most unusual thing i had was ricefield rat in Vietnam, spatchcocked and barbecued. They advertise it as being a mouse, but it's actually a rat. And very tasty. Quite like rabbit, i guess. I'd have it again. In the same restaurant we had a chicken stew - you take the lid off the pot and there...

I was surprised Willie Thorne was only 66 - i had him down as that in about 1988 - probably the premature baldness and crippling Lestah accent! Good chap though. Will be missed.

Napalm?
