The continuation of last night’s pub conversations

Because I can use this as a way of gettin the last word….

• Football is evil. It is one of those absolutes in the world. Sky is blue, sea is wet, football is evil.

• Elite remains one of the best computer games ever. The PC emulator on this appalling webpage (run by one of the creators of Elite) does work. But I recomend getting a BBC micro, model B with floppy drive for a real taste of gaming genius.
• I still do not have a satifactory answer to the question - Why do men noisily spit when using public urinals? (At the risk of being self referencing - here is a previous post about the most bizarre conversation I ever had in a pub toilet)

Radishes

The only thing that we’ve managed to harvest from our allotment is radishes.

All first time allomenteers grow radishes. Why? Because they grow quickly, require little attention and look quite cool.

Quite cool that is until you try and eat them. It’s then you realise (as I did) that you don’t like radishes, cannot give radishes away and know of no recipes that use radishes as an ingredient other than as a garnish.

I went to the BBC website and tired to find a radish recipe. (see results here) All I got was a number of salads that have radish in them.

So why does radish exist? Answers on a postcard.

(nice picture of an american radish…)
