I think I've eaten more than enough cake for today. Combine that with nicotine rich snus and you have yourself a nicely green Edd. Even my brief visits to SG chatland have been cut short through a general feeling that I should really try and void myself, Roman style, in the lab purgatorium.
Less than a week until I go to Amsterdam and Lowlands now. Pretty excited. Actually, VERY excited, it's going to be an awesome festival and I'll get to see a bunch of bands I've not seen before. I'm also looking forward to the famous Amsterdam coffee, all my friends tell me they visit just to go to the coffeeshops, so it must be good

Curses.... it's the local Beer Festival tonight, but I'm still hungover from last night 
No tasty beers for me then, just a mug of cocoa and some gooseberry crumble whilst watching trashy telly.
I got the weirdest postcards from a scientific company today, seriously strange:
Nothing like a Protease and Phosphatase Inhibitor Cocktail to get you into the holiday mood
I would have *loved* to have been the one who decided what photo went with each caption...

Oh Christ.
I bought a jar of pickled eggs from the carboot sale nearby, and I fear I may now have unleashed the equivalent of Pinhead on my guts. Yes, it's Hellraiser 2: Egg-bound. I've only eaten 2 but there's a definite feeling of bloating and discomfort they warn you about in the cheesy ad's on TV. Why are they so tasty? Why?
On a more positive culinary note, I just won a meal for two at a nice Japanese restuarant in London, including Sake tasting session. I'm pretty pleased, maybe it'll give me a chance to dazzle the staff with my intermediary knowledge of essential business Japanese
Thanks to the people at Qype Qype for that one

Thanks to the people at Qype Qype for that one Alas, tragedy has struck and my semi-flowing blonde locks have been sheared by my heartless gf, plumbing depths of hair cutting grades I've never experienced before. I've already had comments in SG chat like "sickboy, the 90's want football back, you hooligan".
I saved the hair and put it in a plantpot for the birds in the back garden, so at least they can benefit from my tragic loss
The old man in me is loving growing vegetables. My allotment is growing well, I just harvested broad beans, peas, potatoes, lettuce, chard and onions, and I'm currently cooking them all for a vegetarian super feast
On a more youthful, and distinctly SG note, I finally got around to buying my tickets for Norwich's inaugural body art festival I'm really hopeful for finding someone who can go through a tattoo design with me. I really love the japanese style tat's so I'm hoping my idea for wasps/bees will look good. I should hopefully have a higher paying job in October, so I'll get the cash together and just do it
Last words; Strongbacks fucking rule as a drink :
2 pts Overproof Rum (Wray and Nephews 63% alcohol )
1 pt Condensed Milk
Top up with Guinness
sprinkle with nutmeg
Yes, it's an odd combo, but it works. My friend who told me how to make these says "it is good for a man", I'll let you decide what that means amongst yourselves. 10 points to the best simile/metaphor or pun.

BNP - 2 M.E.P.'s. Seriously? The European Elections have slightly freaked me out, although looking at it with my scientist hat on, it was bound to happen given the collapse of Labours votes and the way proportional representation works.
Go Swedish Pirate Party though

Anyone else like Bis?
My Brazilian flatmate (now on called Mr. Naughty) treats them like they're some satanic idol, there's probably a shrine upstairs and a complex black mass chanted before every bar is unwrapped and devoured. I got myself a pack at the weekend from Norwich market. They're surprisingly tasty, little wafers in chocolate, so I can understand the fervour. However, Mr. Naughty hasn't witnessed the might of Tunnocks Wafers:
Bigger, badder, with caramel. The scottish might of Tunnocks wipes the floor of Bis, I'm afraid. SUPERTASTY I tell thee.
