I have an alumni library membership, so thought I’d pop in, forContinue reading ““Alma Mater” ???”

Winamp on Android – it’s like being back in 1997!

I am an international roving cheese-spread reporter….
I've now eaten my own body-weight in "cheese". I say "cheese" because this is American cheese, so therefore not proper cheese, like English or French cheese. It even says on the packet that it doesn't contain any rBST (a growth hormone they force-feed the dairy cattle) which is nice. Just realised the white tubs ofContinue reading “I am an international roving cheese-spread reporter….”
