This Christmas I bought my partner some really good charcuterie as a present. He often says he’s a man of simple needs and just likes a good cheese and a nice sausage.
I also bought some very fine cheese for us to enjoy together and with our families.
This made me think. There was a time when I liked meat, I think back in the early 80s, yet I felt absolutely no desire to even taste the sausages.
I adore the cheese. Could I go off the cheeses too, just as I went off meat and cigarettes?
Cheese is my greatest eating sin. It’s bad fatty stuff, but it tastes so beautiful.
I’m going to try and give it up.
Because it wouldn’t be Christmas without it
A frequently forgotten but wonderful Christmas song.
I might start a campaign to make this Christmas number 1 2010
Another one for you @laurenbravo Thanks for these ear worms

I appreciated this post from @Documentally yesterday, as it didn’t criticise journalists, but how news has become a commodity.
Every day I see non-news on the cover of tabloids and the weekly magazines. How important is Katie and Peter’s latest “exclusive” when people are losing their homes due to either economic or environmental crisis.
The old saying “you can take a horse to water but you can’t make him drink” is so true when it comes to news. People either don’t read it, or half read it, and then blame the journalists for failing to report it.
It’s a no win situation. I was once challenged by a reader in a community online forum, as to why the newspaper hadn’t covered certain important issues in the area.
Within half an hour of his post I provided a list of the editions and page numbers the stories had been on.
I use this example when people complain to me about the Big Brother, I’m a Celeb stories filling the newspapers.
A. Buy a better newspaper, not a comic.
B. Read it
Rant over.
