Chicken and Chickpea curry

It looked a lot more orange IRL

Serves 2

I don’t normally eat meat on school nights preferring to save it for the weekend. But I had a couple of chicken breasts that needed using and there was a tin of chickpeas on the side so I decided to experiment. Also I had bought some fresh tumeric root from the funky “world veg” aisle in the newly refurbished Morrisons supermarket I was dying to use. Never actually had it before so this was a bit of a shot in the dark TBH.

I have to say I

Mass Effect 3 Ending Controversy

Mass Effect 3

Ok so this is a SPOILER FILLED BLOGPOST. I am giving away key plot points right from the get go. So if you don’t want to know what has happened move away now. Really sod off.

 

Because SPOILERS AHOY!

 

 

Still here? Righty ho then, it has clearly aroused an incredible amount of debate and controversy. And as there are a fair few gaming fans I know I thought I’d write a blog about it.

 

Mass Effect 3

Well first things first I don’t think the end is anywhere near as bad as some people seem to be

Vitali, Chisora and Haye

Del Boy Chisora

Quite often when watching a sporting game of some sort, with real high quality, some insufferably smug git (often me TBH) will say something along the lines of “Football/Cricket/Kabaddi was the real winner”.  I think it is fair to say that no one will be saying that about boxing after the events leading up to, and after the fight in Munich last night.

Del Boy Chisora

It would be probably dishonest to pretend that “shenanigens” and the sense of danger wasn’t a part of the appeal of the sport of boxing,

Super Mario?

Why always him?

 
Anyone who follows me on Twitter, or is a friend on Facebook will know I am a big fan of Mario Balotelli. The man is box office and as a top flight neutral I can’t help loving everything about the circus that goes with Mario Balotelli.

Yesterday, in a cracking game at the Etihad, Balotelli was once again at the centre of attention, plus ça change. He has be embroiled in a stamping controversy and I thought I would have my 2 cents. Now before I start I want to make

Officially Not Fat

Slim me with clearly defined Jaw bone and everyfink!

“Who ate none of the pies
Who ate none of the pies…..”

Fat holiday snap.

Ealier this year I visit the Doctor about (amongst other things, I am a massive hypochondriac) a vague feeling that I was starting to get a little fleshy. I had just seen some holiday snaps form when me and my brother went to see the olds in Portugal and frankly it was hard to pretend that I wasn’t well, frankly, a bloater. I am a vain, vain man who really likes few things

Tarragon and Dijon Chicken with Tagliatelle

This was awesome!

 

 

I had some fresh Tarragon left over from cooking (extremely nice) Haddock Provençal the other day and thus was seeking an appropriate nice use for it that fitted in with my low cholesterol diet.

The following is basically an amalgamation of about three or four different recipes and some suggestions off twitter. Should serve two.

 

This was awesome!

3 Large cloves Garlic

Lemon Juice

Cherry Tomatoes

My take on Google Plus

What all the fuss is about!

What all the fuss is about!

 

So this Google Plus is the new black right? I may not be a devoted follower of fashion, but as a full on Neophile I cannae resist a new technology-ey thing! And seeing as all the cool kids are on Google Plus (all right none of the cool kids, but all the geeks, nerds and internet weirdos are!) I was desperate to give it a go.

Thanks to an internet pal Mr603 of Unmemorable Title, an SEO guru (Yay!) and a big Leeds United fan

Phone Hacking, Tabloids and Collusion

Charles Foster Kane

 

Like pretty much everyone else I have been utterly astonished, horrified and disgusted by the recent “News of the world” hacking allegations. It beggars belief that something so crass and awful could have happened. In pursuit of a gutter press story giving false hope to the parents of a missing girl.

Being a politico, a blogger, a follower of the media and a subscriber to Private Eye I have been following this story with interest for quite some time, and been pretty disappointed that the story didn’t capture the popular imagination
