It all counts. DC that recipe is genius. But I don't think being afraid of sharks is entirely irrational. It’s alcoholic mate, so I really don’t think so. It all counts.

A bit late in getting this one in, but here goes: 1) The very fact that they are so ingrained in society's psyche that we just can't live without them. The fact that people, including me, are on them all the fucking time. The fact that even when we're not on them they are on the table or in our hands or visible in the top pocket of a shirt etc. This isn't so much an etiquette point, moreso a fingerweave at a lifestyle devolution. 2) This just makes me smile: http://www.blah3.com/images/articles/20070818124129676_1.jpg 3) Moths. Just edging out sharks. 4) I rarely watch TV these days, but in the States I am <i>always</i> find myself strangely drawn to that dangerous harpee <b>Nancy Grace</b>. That, or <b>Dog The Bounty Hunter</b> 5) Blackcurrent Jelly squares plopped into a deep icecube tray then gin poured in & frozen (so the jelly cube is in the middle of the iced gin cube). Then plop the thing into any white rum-based cocktail or drink (Mojitos work for me). Fuck me, what a week/weekend. A bit late in getting this one in, but here goes:

Basically it involves making an enormous jug of g&t and adding gelatine to it, thus turning it into jelly. Ace.

The fact that the accompanying photo at the start of this article closely resembles work for me (analysing / dissecting fish) then I shall chip in with my list. 1. People using mobiles where they clearly shouldn't, e.g. in toilets 2. I really think we should be looking at loltoads instead of cats, but this http://lolcat.net/v/animated/guitar_cat.gif.html? struck me as the most appropriate 3. Phobia or irrational fear? The closest I get is crammed elevators, but given the plethora of interrupted journeys to/from the top of the Foulis building at Glasgow School of Art, then I'd claim this isn't entirely irrational. Although, since I've never been to the US then I would clearly only have a mild aversion to crammed lifts. 4. Poker. Don't play it, it's bizarre tv but to watch, so I guess that makes this a aibohp. 5. I think we did this last year, but substituted the water partially with champagne (well, fizzy wine then, but still more lavish than I recall from my vodka jelly student days). In the meantime we've been cheating and using the most cheap'n'nasty-looking booze that costs more than £1.29....http://www.ltblenderonline.com/Products I think it’s only appropriate that i shiould be posting on Monday morning.
