So in the last week I've finally got round to doing some of the things that people have been raving about for ages but I've either not got round to doing or been blissfully unaware of. Here are three of them:
Mersea Island Oysters
Essex strives to be derivative. We really don't have anything which is truly ours - one of the things that we do have is oysters and the best place to go to eat them are the oyster shacks on Mersea Island. They had common-or-garden rock oysters there, as well as the Blackwater oyster - which is the proper local delicacy. I Pepsi challenged them - I preferred the rock oyster - presumably because I'm a pleb.
David Thorne
Not certain what I've been doing thats meant I've been oblivious to David Thorne until now. His 27b/6 website is proper funny. At least two of his emails made me lol my face open way harder than that Book of Mormon thing did.
The Fault in Our Stars
I've been meaning to read this for a while. Crikey it's hardcore, it made Looking for Alaska seem as emotionally charged as a knock knock joke. Had one slight downside, more to its juxtaposition with me watching Breaking Bad (something else which really should be mentioned on this page, but I can't help but think that writing any commentary at all on Breaking Bad is a waste of your eyeball juice), namely any slight niggle I've had this weekend I've assumed is cancer. It's clearly not - all evidence points to an old running injury, a stitch and a 24 hour sickness bug, but turns out I can be somewhat suggestible.
