Middle class, working class wannabes who think that because they use what they think is working class speak like ''fing'' but are about as working class as Jamie Oliver.

Add Baba Alex's chili to my list of interesting things. Also pinecones, especially ones with nuts in them.

I've never managed to grow a chili, except when I bought it as a baby plant. Did you really do it from seed?

Ellerine sağlık!

No, I deliberately gave belly button fluff a miss. I'm afraid of becoming a cliche.

Or perhaps my interest in it's just waned... Confused
