    If you find yourself in Frith St, Soho I recommend the Morcilla with fried quail eggs they serve at Barrifina. On a different planet to the black plastic wrapped stuff you get served up as part of the 'full english/irish'

    I'm very partial to black pudding, yummy so long as it's not too dry, then it's almost like sawdust. Needs to be spiced right of course.

    I'll have to throw my tuppence in too - I bloody love black and white pudding - it's yum.

    Agree with Tony English though, prefer the Irish stuff to the Bury stuff But I think it's just cos what I am used to.

    I think you'll find that was my particular sense of humour. Granted it was crap, but it was my crap.

    Going to have to keep a low profile for a month. Team MF, or should I say the weaker part Mrs MF agreed to a one month design contract. After reviewing said contract which says she has to do 90% of the work in the next month and then only get paid 40%, waiting for the last 60% on completion of the last 10% in August I told her to forget it as with the fact she works for me in the shop, we're closing it and I'm doing more than one contract it wouldn't be worth it as the kids would have to go into additional child care!

    So she fookin agreed to it and signed it.
    Feast or famine, the lot of a contractor. Good luck with that.

    It's probably one of the permie interview questions
