Andy Carroll and Noodles, As I Was Asked

As of this morning, he was staying put.  I doubt Liverpool could lure him away just now, I mean, they're shite.  One win in four games and Dalglish is King Ken?  FFS.  I like to think as a Gateshead lad, black and white through and through, he'll stay with us for the foreseeable future, but who knows, footballers work for money, as do we all, except that they get loads more.  But Liverpool?  Chelsea, maybe, Barcelona, Real...  But Liverpool?  Spurs? 

Tell yous what, and I'll link back to this if I'm right.  The English Premier's starting to crack open at last, this season.  Bad time for anyone to jump ship if they're after silverware.  And sometimes, just sometimes, there's maybe more to it than piling cash upon cash and winning cups for cocksuckers. 

And as for the noodles, oh yes, noodle city.  The sort you get here are about 20p a packet, (that would be enough for big portions for four people, say).  They're very thin, threadlike.  I boil them for a minute, and then rinse them under the cold tap.  Then mix in some sesame oil, and stick them in with the stir fry in the big old iron wok I've got, or hoy a knob of butter on and stick them in the microwave for about a minute, mix them with a sauce of your choice.  Oh aye.  Mind you, posh bread shops are to be found in Shanghai, really good rye bread for the equivalent of £1.20 - so it's luxury grub compared to noodles. 

There's so much weird shit going on with food that I haven't had the balls to explore yet, the live fish and the smoked ducks.  I'll get there.

Leech or flatworm? Ants and Swiss Chard

Image
For the 2nd time in a week or so, (1st time regarding dwarf beans ), I'm following Alys Fowler's advice, this time with regard to Swiss chard .  Long story short, after midsummer plants which often bolt if planted in spring will resist the impulse to do so, probably because of shortening days; (I say shortening, but in Glasgow, in July, we're still getting 18 hours of daylight).   I got a packet of Bright Lights , at a good price, (another reason to wait until July before sowing, lots of bargains, I've noticed). But where to sow them? Most of the 2nd bed is under a tarpaulin, but it wasn't quite big enough to cover the whole bed, so the last 5ft or so went under a sheet of plastic, (in the background of the photo in this post, here .) Transparent plastic was a foolish idea, weeds were growing underneath it, so I covered most of it with sheets of metal from the old shed. I decided to leave the tarp, but use the area beneath the plastic for the chard. Who-ah there...

"Chevy Chase. Fuck ever happen to him?"

As Paulie Walnuts said in The Sopranos. It got me thinking. As it happens, he's been working steadily , but you can see what Paulie means. It's like that with film and television actors: you don't see them in anything for a year or two, and you wonder if they're dead or perhaps on a lengthy charlie and booze session. Or maybe doing proper acting on the stage? Only appearing on the telly gives them meaning to us. That video with Paul Simon was on one of the cable music channels the other day. It always makes me smile. As for Paulie and the rest of the crew, the clock's ticking. Of course, America already knows how things finish, but we don't. My mate Ian was telling me about a friend of his, visiting the States a few weeks ago, flicking through the channels in his hotel bedroom, he hit on a repeat of THE final episode, just beginning. What a quandry! He watched it, as it goes, but kept shtum when he came home.

How many pallets can you fit in the back of a Fiat 500?

At least 1. Maybe I could have got 3 altogether, at a pinch. Also 200+ gorse seeds, which have begun to look in danger of damping off, so I'm thinking they'll be better off at the allotment in the fresh air. I'm worried about slugs, snails and woodpigeons, though, so I put them in a wheelbarrow, covered with a net. Also this morning, planted a row of beetroot detroit.
