Backwards In High Heels

Super Supersizers

Argh! I am drowing in a sea of work today but am shirking duties for five minutes to gush about The Supersizers Go.... 

It's a BBC 2 series which has seen Giles Coren and Sue Perkins live a week in different eras, sampling the diet of the times. It is the funniest thing on television at the moment (and yes, I know Top Gear is back on). The two work fantastically together, you laugh your way through it and at the end, gulp, realise you've learnt some interesting historical facts. They also eat things which make the bush tucker trails on I'm A Celebrity looks postively pleasant. Pickled oyster anyone?

Last one in the series tomorrow night, BBC2 9pm. Then mither the BBC to repeat it immediately. Or figure out how to use iPlayer or something.

I am a little bit in love with Giles Coren.

Don't Forget To Tune In

Off My Trolley

This isn’t a get rich scheme. It isn’t a get rich slowly scheme either but it does involve free money. The way? Supermarket trolleys. You know the ones that need a coin deposit. I seem to have a knack of finding £1 coins left in trolleys. It seems for some people the stress of the supermarket shop leads them to discard their trolley and forget about their pound or maybe they are so rich it doesn’t matter and is worth leaving rather than the long 10m trek to the trolley park. Why do people just abandon trolleys? It is inconsiderate and untidy.

Having found another this afternoon my 2007 total now stands at £12 and 4 tokens.

My tradition is then to take the £1 and buy a lottery dip. One day I will win the lottery with one of my finds and the first thing I shall do with my new fund fortune will be to open a sanctuary for discard trolleys so they can roam free till the day they rust.
