What's the point of Catherine Tate?

I've only ever seen the ubiquitous BBC trailers, but these have not done their job in getting me to watch. The show appears to be a total rip-off of (the once good) Little Britain, in particular, the Marjorie Dawes Fat Fighter and Vicky Pollard.

Norwich City FC do not use animal fats in their cooking

"The product we buy is called Prep ZT and is only recently available in the UK ( I believe we were in fact the first company to use it).

For us as a business it has two advantages. Firstly it has a very extended life and as it is principally only used on match days that has obvious fiscal advantages to us despite it being nearly 60% more expensive.

Secondly, it is marketed as a solution to hydrogenated fats and trans fats, whilst fried food will always be perceived as unhealthy it, at least, is a move in the right direction."

Did I really just hear that?

On Saturday's Jonathan Ross Radio 2 show, Mark Lamarr was sitting in, accompanied by odd bed-fellow, Dale Winton. Here's a snippet of their conversation:

Dale is talking about the work conditions being a DJ in a biscuit factory

ML: Was it like 1984?
DW: Oh no. it was much earlier than that.
ML: No, I meant 1984, the book.

A story about Freedom Leisure/Goldsmiths

The leisure centre in Crowborough, of which Mr X has been a member of for over seven years, has organised a five-a-side football tournament. Mr X paid his £25 for a team weeks ago, yet on the day before the tournament, was told that there has been a mix-up. Despite paying, the centre had no record of the team, so said his team of seven players couldn't play. Bizarrely, the staff have two teams which have had no problem entering.

How to make Engerland play better at the World Cup...

... give them a proper nickname.

It's worked for Australia (aka the Socceroos), through to the second round.

It's done the trick for Trinidad and Tobago (aka the Soca Warriors), who got to their first ever finals.

OK, let's forget about Jamaica (aka the Reggae Boyz).

Tits v T*ts

Of all the papers, The Sun goes all coy when it comes to the BBC3 program 'Tittybangbang'. It blushingly prints 'T*ttybanbang' in the TV schedules.

The Coast Road

I'm reading The Coast Road by Paul Gogarty. It's borrowed from the library and contains the scribbled thoughts of a fellow lender in the margins...

Page 5
- Gogarty says: "There are more castles in Kent than in any other country"
- Scribbler says: "Cumberland and Northumberland?"

Page 16
- Gogarty says: "A sliver of new moon is rising"
- Scribbler says: "The new moon sets"

Isn't Daniel Corbett great?

Daniel Corbett -- look at those teeth. He'd make a great Dracula. is one of the most unique weather forecasters on the telly. He has his own style of describing the weather, often remarking on what it is good for (eg, "having a picnic", "taking the doggie for a walk").

Verdict: Almost as good as Kaddy Lee-Preston.

Tony Banks

Strange how BBC radio news bulletins reported the death of MP Tony Banks. Rather than report anything he had done in his life, they concentrated on his two passions: animal welfare and Chelsea FC.

Where's What's On Editor?

There's a free magazine in Kent and Sussex called What's On. It provides a reasonable listing of the monthly events going on, from "Learn to Jive Rock 'n' Roll" (£3 at the Sovereign Harbour, Eastbourne) right down to car boot sales (numerous).

However, I don't pick up my free copy to find out what's going down. I get it to see how many times its publicity/photo-loving editor appears. In the latest edition (Jan 2006), the lady in question (who coyly calls herself the "What's On Editor" appears four times), quite a low appearance rate for her.
