I like the look of this;James Martin Mini Chopper, 2 Speed + Pulse, 350ml capacity, silver ...
2 Speeds and a pulse, they'll be queuing up for a ride. £18:50 on Amazon. In the words of Weller, "Wish I could be like James Martin." He's living the life.
Grrr. Celeb-endorsed kitchen electricals - there can't be many things in the Argos catalogue that make my blood boil more. Especially smoothie makers etc. designed to tie in with You Are What You Eat, and thus by extension Channel 4's resident poo-sifter Gillian "not really a doctor of course, the power of deception [1]" McKeith.

I like the way the Beeb helpfully provided you with contact details to direct your complaint.0 -
If it had been a racist comment I suspect the ploice would have been in touch with him by now, but it's still incitement as far as I'm concerned, and if it wasn;t a "joke" then it should be taken as an admission. String him String him up I say!!!! :evil:
See what the Daily Mail has done to me? :oops:0 -

I don't believe in incitement.... I do believe in fat yorkists getting strung up though. Oh the cruel irony!"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

No but am soooo stressed about the space my wheelie bin takes up and the jobsworth nazi who tells me I'm not allowed to dump my waste in a lake like I used to in good old days of the blessed Margaret (our lord saviour). :roll:0 -

Having lived in Yorkshire for about 10 years off and on, I am very fond of the place. But your reasoning does provide a top excuse for getting Chris Moyles bumped off at the same time.

You could try to get round this by pretending that said pile of waste is a 'duck island'. And then claiming for it on expenses.

It's not for real. Alan Partridge is back. Let's drop a cow on him!0

Does anyone really believe this apology is sincere? He's annoyed at the backlash and worried about the effect on his "career" (i.e., making cakes on the telly). I'd rather these people stick by what they've said than issue a forced apology they don't really mean.
Having read that excerpt from his interview where he says he didn't have a girlfriend til he was 21 and is settled down with his dog, I actually feel quite sorry for him. His evenings probably consist of watching the telly, talking to Fudge about his great car and eating enormous platefuls of his own cooking, whilst Fudge silently farts under his chair - completely oblivious to his Master's loneliness. Shame.0 -

I think most of my venom was probably directed at the You Are What You Eat stuff, seemingly marketed for gullible folk who think that buying said products will automatically lead to a healthier lifestyle (although hopefully not a visit from McKeith herself armed with a suspect-looking colander ). And yet if they'd gone for an identical (as an example) smoothie maker which was just branded Moulinex [1] or Kenwood, they'd have usefully saved a few quid for spending on fruit to put in said smoothie maker.
The tying-together of celeb and product is also important if the end result is to be a success. Apparently the Michael Barrymore range of swimming pool water purifiers and filters never even made it as far as appearing in the shops....

There's a range of foods in the supermarkets endorsed by McKeith - mostly mixtures of seeds and dried fruit - and it's about 10 times the price of identical unendorsed pkts of seeds and dried fruit from Holland and Barrett. And yes - people do seem to be buying them.
Mind you - even at 10 times the price it'll probably still give them lovely looking poo -as long as they eat it. :P0 -
