Saw Caitlin Rose at the Borderline last night. Smashing.

(S)he's ba-aaaaack!

I don't consider that advert the best one. That there's some admirable restraint, sir.

"I like... old movies... like Godfather 3..."

I don't know what's scarier, the creepy photo or the fact that he appears to be drinking something blue from a wine glass

Going to do savoury ones baked in the oven with ham, gruyere and various veg. Then a lemon juice and sugar pigout if we can stomach any more after that.

I'm going to have a go at giving up booze.

It's good but it's no "Diamond Lights".

If ever there was an appropriate moment...

Canny enough. Bastard workload tomorrow, but off out to a gig in the evening (Caitlin Rose) and it's a short week because I'm off to Stockholm on Thursday morning to shake my schlager booty all weekend long.

Unlike you when you're imagining blokes doing other blokes, apparently, considering how often you go on about it.

http://www.theblizzard.co.uk/ Spearheaded by Jonathan Wilson, who's canny for a Mackem and a Guardian contributor. Trial issue is available for nowt if you want (though I threw in a couple of quid) - looks good so far.

The #NUFC hashtag already exists. kthxbye

Nar, saving my liver for the hot Eurovision national final action tomorrow night.

That's actually properly shocking labelling. Should be banned straight away as far as I'm concerned. And yes I know the alarm bells should start ringing as soon there's as any claim of "17 calories per packet" in conjunction with a snack food product, but still. You can see how people who've never known any better would easily get drawn in.

This is going to sound massively patronising, but I'll say it anyway: this is just another lesson to be learned. Apply the "plum tomato rule" (as I'm fashionably calling it ) from the last page - if something ostensibly bad for you claims to have as few calories in it as salad, chances are there's something dodgy afoot that needs to be investigated before gorging ensues.

It's killing the industry, y'know.

For all this is obviously hilarious in the context of CT's weight loss humiliation on here , there ought to be laws against misleading labelling </dailymail>. In fact I'm sure there are at a European level - haven't idiot Sunderland greengrocers had heart attacks for less? - so quite why this mob can get away with it while trumpeting a glorious new era of "low salt" is beyond me. Got to give them credit for the sheer ballsiness of it all though.

Quick Google search finds a WeightWatchers thread where they're discussing these crisps. Apparently the packs have two sets of nutritional value on the back, one for the entire product and one for the flavouring. And it's the flavouring that has 17 calories per pack, never mind the tiny matter of the actual potatoes. Can you confirm, CT?

There's 17 calories in eight baby plum tomatoes. Please tell me there's some truth in this.

You right, it stops at 10mph. That bloke must look like Billy Whizz as he goes past. I love watching live athletics, go to the Crystal Palace meet every summer and try to get to the odd international event too. Was sat at the end of the home straight when Usain Bolt broke the world record in Berlin. There's nothing quite like watching the middle-distance events though, as Gemmill says the likes of Kipketer took the 800m into sprint territory and the 1500m is going that way too. Even at the level of Gebreselassie in the 10000m, it looks so effortless until you do the maths and realise you couldn't do more than a few hundred metres on the treadmill at the pace he's keeping up for the best part of half an hour.

Aye, but so did the Greeks. While forcing grapes up the arse of a 13-year-old boy. Or something.
