I used to work on that roundabout, at Wellington Motors. They hadn't built the other industrial estate at that point but I did have to use that roundabout when going to the south side of Taunton recently. Utterly ridiculous. Poor old Wellington. Fab gramophone shop there, though.

Poor old Wellington my eye, I left aged 19 and have not looked back.

That said, I do miss the southwest for the countryside, but I'm glad to have shod the accent!

I'll go with that right now.

I done the London Expo last weekend
Horrible little sh*ts. After what you pay for the stall (which can't be cheap) as well.


on another note entirely...
Was Man-Misa there with his lovely legs and long-blonde locks? I honestly thought he was a bird from behind


Baron - I always thought I had a Somerset accent but Eddie tells me that in fact I sound like Kirsty Allsopp :-?

I done the London Expo last weekend and had over £150 of stock nicked. Chloe even caught one trying to nick 3 t-shirts, she grabbed the guy trying to get awat and another circled round and ran into her arm forcing her to let go. They all ran off into the crowd leaving her very upset and mad.

I missed the episode as I was the other side of the stall serving, but what really pissed me off is that no-one battered an eyelid over the fact a girl was struggling to keep hold of a guy clearly stealing and trying to get away. What a great world we live in.

There was not one stall holder who did not have stuff stolen from the stall, they were all going round in packs and literally coming up to you to try and distract you;

'is this your stall boss?'

'yes, why the f*ck would you ask me that unless you plan to steal something?'

Really wound me up as those that were caught were just kicked out of the show.
I'm sorry to hear you had some trouble dave, i hate thiefs, added with teenagers i would slip into blind fury, they should line them up and shoot the little bastards.

Secretly, I think it was because they didn't like my quiff. Bloody quiffists.
They are all bastards who work in Television. That's why we did our own Come Dine with Me video last year. The missus and I were the last night of the week so as a surprize I made this Come Dine with Me spoof video and put it on the telly in front of our guests. We got a nine!


And yes... that's me with the towel on my head! Sadly we didn't win :(

That was frikkin brilliant!!! I think you were undermarked, that should have been 10's all round.

I can't stand the programme though, Chloe has it on series link and it feels like it's on 10 times a week.

Thanks Dave. To be honest it's not up to my usual standards. I did it on the day of the meal so I rushed it! The Nigella Lawson Chocolate Cheescake however is worth crawling naked over broken glass for!! There is no dessert yet invented that is too rich for me!
