We watched the 1979 Dustin Hoffman film Kramer Vs Kramer the other day and have got a sudden urge for French Toast (or Eggy Bread, as we used to call it in my house): As Hoffman says: You want French toast? You got it. Ingredients 8 x thick slices of white bread 6 x eggs […]
Are your liver and wallet still recovering from New Year’s Eve celebrations? Of course they are. January is a painful month spent cringingly reviewing sent text messages that start innocently at midnight with the send to all ‘Happy 2013’ and gradually get drunker and more regretful.

Each contributor was tasked with embarking on a creative journey through time […]

How to open a coconut? Smash the absolute shit out of it with a hammer. The End. Seriously, I’m not that far off the truth with my methodology. If Bear Grylls were confronted with a coconut in a desert island situation, that’s how he’d open it (I’m pretty sure, anyway). If you want to crack […]

How to boil an egg? Get an egg. Put it in water. Bring to the boil. The end. Now, piss off. In all seriousness, I have a funny relationship with eggs. I’ve always felt sorry for them, as they only get laid once and it takes 4 minutes to get hard *ahem* Don’t egg me […]
