Happy Mum Day

2 May 2011

Yes, it is that time of year again when I find myself struggling with the big question – is it Mother’s Day or Mothers’ Day? In my heart of hearts I swing towards the plural possessive as it is a day for all mothers, but signage in florist windows and subject lines on day spa [...]

International Cake Pops Incident – Cake-atoos

17 April 2011

In a house not so large as to impress thieves, but large enough to impress those who officially aren’t, Olive and her husband Mick have not spoken for a decade.

MaltEaster and a case of the CRAPS

10 April 2011

They were to Maltesers like Crunchie is to Violet Crumble, though sadly their 80s ad wasn’t quite up to the same standard as that awesome Crunchie one with Naomi Watts. It’s just as well really that Tempters were so short-lived, as Cadbury execs would now be cursing themselves for [...]

Salty Disher

28 February 2011

First things first my lovelies.. although the realisation likely has most of us tearing out our hair in horror and tearing around wildly in equal measures, it is almost March. Even if we all stay up until midnight squinting angrily at the clock, we’d still find ourselves writing a 3 where there once was a [...]

International Sundae Incident – Snagga Split

20 February 2011

Did you know there’s a area in Sillim-Dong, South Korea, where there are so many eateries dedicated to serving sundaes that it is called Sundae Town? This conjures up glorious images of a Pleasure Island/Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory hybrid where ice cream bowsers litter the streets, chocolate streams flow past cherry trees and you always [...]
