I know nothing about Norfolk beyond what I have learned from Alan Partridge. Don't fancy it much. Don't dismiss Norfolk. There are some lovely places in Norfolk and the beaches have sand dunes and stuff. Sandringham is definitely worth a visit when H.M.'s not there. Suffolk is quaint and there are some beautiful towns - Lavenham for one. And of course Rob lives in Suffolk.  "Quaint Rob" eh? Shall I give him that title then? Shall I? Huh? huh?  I always thought the Girlies in Norwich very pretty. (18 years ago that is!) |

Patrick: As for Suffolk - why not? After all that spacehopping stuff Patrick would have them do, they could sit quietly and see if they can spot the difference between a pochard and a Ferruginous duck. That's me showing off because I saw one of those in Suffollk on Sunday, and they are quite rare. duck!Then they could go home for duck with orange sauce. |

For a kick off I'd take them all down Whitechapel High Street in London's East End to visit Tubby Isaac's shellfish stall and they'd all have to eat a plate of whelks. They could go on the Jack the Ripper tour . . |

I saw a really funny cartoon somewhere today - in the Metro maybe?
Brown, and Obama, and Sarkovzy and all the other world leaders that you don't recognise and Brown is saying "Now that the ladies have retired, Jacqui Smith's husband has laid on some entertainment for us . . "

" I heard that the Playboy channel have cashed in by launching a "Jacq off special". In the small print it says "Please check that you have the taxpayer's permission to view this channel" |

I think they should take the world leaders to a slap up meal of best battered cod fish and chips, somewhere along the Yorkshire coast ,cooked in beef dripping followed by rhubard crumble and real vanilla custard,not the stuff out of a packet, and finally a trip to a real village pub where they sell real ale if they still exist.

I'm off to make a bean something. I don't know what it is. I just make a nice tasting marinade thingy and puts beans in it. It's nice though.

We are lucky enough to be able to buy wild duck, which eases my conscience a bit because I'm generally "anti" farmed duck. At least, it is described as "wild" and somtimes you bite into a pellet, which is reassuring.
There is of course always a possibility that Alpha Hooligan is summonsed to the duck factory with his six-shooter to fill them all with pellets for gullible fools like me!

I think the Obamas should be given a fish finger and brown sauce sandwich. Real taste of Britain.
