Not remotely little. Once a chef, still a cook. Gooner. Potter. Terrible golfer. Drummer. Linguist. Europhile. Tenders copywriter for Premier Partnership.

@adrianedmondson.bsky.social Have just devoured ‘Berserker!’ in under 24 hours. What a splendid memoir it is. As a Yorkshire-born chef, (and hobby drummer), it hit so many notes, and brought me to tears and fits of laughter in equal measure. Thank you!

Dishes from the 2010s, when I still had my mojo. These days, I don’t know. Definitely not as much of a perfectionist as I once was.

A reminder: please, this year, if you’re celebrating Burns’ Night, make sure that your mature haggis is locally-caught in the wild, and not farmed.
Can’t stress this enough. Too many flavourless Chilean haggis flooding the domestic market.

Note to @easyjetofficial.bsky.social. Make good use of ‘Prisencolinensinainciusol’ because it’s an absolute banger. But please don’t use it for the next five years à la Juniore and Jess Glynne.

Just finished ‘What We Do In The Shadows’. A more perfect finale you couldn’t wish for. Hilarious and a little heartbreaking. And the alternate endings (in ‘extras’ on Disney+) are absolutely tremendous. What a superb show.

When I'm in charge of the BBC:
Day 1, I cancel Strictly. (If the celebs want to dance, they can take lessons on their own time.)
Day 2: BYE BYE Masterchef.
Imagine, all that money freed up! All that schedule!
You?

Proof of Darwin's theory of natural selection, this butterfly has evolved amazing camouflage which enables it to hide within The Osmonds to escape hungry predators.

Bittersweet tonight. Bidding adieu (hoping it’s au revoir) to Canada’s finest, the mighty Metz, at the Brudenell Social Club. I’ve seen them every time they’ve played the Bru, and they are always unfailingly magnificent.
