18th June BBQ at Pete's

The BBQ featured an outdoor display of things you don't normally put in a Microwave Oven; soap, an egg, a grape cut in half, cd's, a burning toothpick, various metal things and by far the most spectacular, the Grand Finale; a light bulb. I wonder though if the UV has strained my eyes, not to worry though. Most things either generated a flash of plasma, or exploded. Some did both.

Isabelle was annoyed when I used the fish slice, (which had previously played some role in the display),on the tomato salad; said I might have swallowed powdered glass, we'll see...

Conversation turned quite naturally to the end of the world, which is just about nigh according to the current level of the Greenland Ice cap. But why shouldn't the Chinese build a new coal fired power station every 2 weeks for the next 30 years to keep pace with demand? (I'm exaggerating here but I forget the exact figure). We sit there in the rain with mugs of tea (Made in China), in the slow midsummer dusk under the gazebo, only £14.99 (Made in China). According to Wee Davie Attenborough we'll be alright though if we just half fill the kettle (Made in China) and fit low energy light bulbs (Made in China).

Brilliant behaviour. Did you get some video footage, or take pictures?

Egypt sounded a blast. Of course, I'm happy there weren't actually any.

How to compare the Nile to the Tay?

There's no Radio Nile FM or am to my knowledge.

Is that a gap in the market, then?
