How (I imagine) certain women chefs might have
greeted an ungallant and rather sexist Heston
Blumenthal (with apologies to Shakespeare): "We
come not to bury Heston, but to braise him -
overnight in a slow cooker"...

Who doesn't like a 3-liner? (Quite a few of you don't, apparently.) Well, I'll have you know that many a critic has said of my work "at least it's in English" - and as for the great Stephen Fry, he once said of me "Vincent who?" Let's just say I supply the litter to the litterati [sic - but only at times] - ie: I write rubbish. But rubbish mostly inspired by the HAIKU, the 17th Century Japanese verse form consisting of 3 lines and 17 (5-7-5) syllables. (WARNING: flash photography and limericks)
