I have succumbed to the merits of frozen broccoli.1. It doesn’t cost 12.99 a kilo (thank you Olsen’s Corner Foodworks that is daylight broccoli robbery to which I refuse to stand and deliver).2. You don’t discover it already going yellow in the crisper three days after you’ve bought it, at which time you throw it […]

Work has been absolutely flat out this week, what with Term starting tomorrow and everything. So my television watching has been a little random, a little distracted (although I think it’s Cubitt that argues this is typical TV viewer, i prefer to give it my full attention), and just basically a little of the usual […]
