We spotted cameos from characters we hadn’t before been able to find (Tom Hanks and...

Slightly offended
It might be a bit stupid but I have to say I’m slightly offended by a comment left on James Allen’s F1 competition page (see earlier link). The comment reads: “I met Rachel Clarke in Turkey and can definitely vouch for her devotion to F1 – she was at the track when the other girls were out sightseeing!” Now hang on a minute. Firstly this makes it sound like most women...

Food Movies
The fabulous @squeaky_the_pin listens to Jon Holmes on the Radio. This week’s text-in is about food and films. Some of the text were rather imaginative (The Lambshank Redemption, The Grape Escape, Quorn on the Fourth of July, etc.) but I decided to add a couple of my own. Enjoy! The Curious Case of Benjamin Mutton Cheese All That Children of the Edam-med The Road to Pear-dition Meat The...
