  Keen and Lake used to, but a quick search suggests they're discontinued.

  Hmmm. I would love a Railmaster, but I'm sure I can't afford one.

  I was going to try skinny wrists as an excuse as well but those ones are 38mm, aren't they?

  Aldi kamado arrived this morning - a bit of a beast. No doubt we'll be experimenting soon.

  We did pineapple last weekend (cheap kettle BBQ) - just a couple of thickish slices, heated through on indirect heat, then moved over the coals for a few minutes each side to caramelise a bit. Worked fairly well, though the embers were dying - would have been better if we'd put them on 15 mins earlier.

  I'd thought that for the next time, I might quarter (or sixth) the pineapple down the long axis, but again use indirect heat for a bit before marking them on each side over the coals. Probably keep the skin on too, just for the look of it.

  I had of course completely forgotten the vital role of HB (or the housing element of UC) in transferring public money to private pockets.

  However, I may not need too as the dimensions of this are very close (only the prong is too long, but I could cut that down).

  And four quid is usefully cheaper than Lunns ...

  I've got no doubt at all it's likely to get worse for an awful lot of people in this country.

  If the shift in bonus is a cash flow issue rather than an actual cut in remuneration, I'd have thought borrowing was at least as sensible as flogging an asset that i) you love, and ii) is likely to appreciate.

  What are the chances of you wanting to have the/a Sub back in the future?

  the future can be no worse than the present.

  Anyone who believes that to be true shows a spectacular lack of imagination.

  An optimist believes we live in the best of all possible worlds.

  A pessimist fears that to be true.
