• The funny side of farming

  I managed to hold it together until the stereo started blaring out “Where’s your sausage gone?” to the tune of ‘Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep’. It was at that point – stood outside Downing Street in front of a 16ft, shiny... Posted Mar 04 2011, 09:21 PM by NufSaid Select Tags...

• Sausage signings

  Tomorrow I’m going to be spending seven hours in central London with a load of pig farmers, an ex-Atomic Kitten, an ice-skating Gladiator, a 15ft sausage and a load of marker pens. I am a serious journalist… I am a serious journalist…... Posted Mar 02 2011, 05:39 PM by NufSaid Filed under: London, farming, Weird, Celebrities, Food [Edit Tags]

• The day I met a proper journalist

  Had I not chosen a career path which had taken me down a bizarre route into a niche avenue of journalism, I would have like to have become a proper writer on a national newspaper. Like John Pilger, perhaps. Or Jay Rayner. Y’know, Jay Rayner. The...

• So close…

  When I was eight we did a class project at school on Canada. It largely entailed making a totem pole out of cereal packets and shoe boxes and learning that a moose and a mousse were two different things, but as part of the project our teacher got in touch...

• Being Wurzelised

  I have to admit, I was a little sad this week when U2 pulled out of Glastonbury cos Bono’s back’s giving him gyp. Like Jet, Bono, Th’Edge and the gang are a guilty musical pleasure of mine, and I was disappointed I wouldn’t get...

• Fishy way for the media to make dosh

  Gob of the Wash is in London at the moment for the Chelsea Flower Show, so we’ve been going out to play in the evenings to take advantage of his escape from Lincolnshire. We both have a fairly silly sense of humour, so last night we went to Leicester...

• Some badger to love

  Brian May’s back. Fan’s of my last post on the hirsute, badger-loving rocker’s anti-cull campaign will be distraught to know I haven’t got any quality puns this time. Sorry, Steve. I have, however, got this brilliant photo of the...

• Bad(ger) hair day

  I love it when celebs get involved with farming issues. Sometimes I’m impressed that they’re having a go at trying to get people interested in food and the way its produced. I mean, just look at the great work of Nell McAndrew, or Cheggars...

• Sleb Watch II

  So I was only stood next to crazy crooner Lady Ga Ga at Heathrow airport. I know, impressive, hey? Well, it might have been had I actually noticed her – I just gawped at the paparrazzi trying to work out what kind of camers they had without thinking...
