Please, no tapioca.

Read that as “old school dinner”. Next week semolina cheesecake.

It’s how it starts ...

Tempted to rant about the spoons in Survivors ...

Oh no it isn’t!

This reminds me of the final Ace of Wands serial. The show had Michael Mackenzie as avenging magician Tarot and a gang of pals that included Kate Beckinsale’s mum, Judy Loe.

Oh no it isn’t.

SPOILER!!!

Try years.

I keep asking the cat to make me a cup of coffee ...
