It's been a while since my last proper post so I thought I'd kick off 2013 with something that made me chuckle earlier today. EMT have bizarrely teamed up with none other than Jamie Oliver for their latest instalment - the EMT Fish & Chips Filet.
Good on the guy, I'm pleased that despite his fame and nurtured image he hasn't lost his sense of humour. I wonder what his wife Jools thinks of it all...

Hangover tips (video)
So in summary: eat a burger before going out, take an aspirin before going to bed and smash into some eggs in the morn. Sound medical advice I say...
But wait! No mention of "hair of the dog"!? This video has lost all of its credibility.
For those of you not familiar with the expression it refers to an antiquated method of treating rabid dog bites by placing hair from the very same dog that has bitten you within the wound itself (no chance!!!). In drink terms, it means that if one night you've overindulged, have a glass of the same poison in the morn and all your troubles shall be washed away.
Cheers!

YOU NEED TO SEE THIS
Tried and tested guys. Eating a chicken wing will NEVER be the same again. EVER. You can thank me later for bringing this to your attention.
All I know is that next time I end up in Bodean's I will call on everybody's attention and unveil this new trick...it deserves an audience.
Now where the wings at!?

No human interaction required!
In a world where you can now find machines that sell cellophane wrapped apples it's not that surprising to discover that one company has taken this distribution model to a new level (low).
Let's Pizza will not only mix and knead the dough to make a 'fresh' crust; it will also add the toppings and cook it with an infrared heating system. All in three minutes. Wondering stoners rejoice!
They claim that the homemade feel of an authentic Italian pizza is guaranteed. I beg to differ...
Equally astonishing is a concept developed by Red Tomato Pizza in Dubai. They have created a fridge magnet that you sync and set-up once with your smartphone via Bluetooth. You attach the magnet to, well, your fridge, and then to order a pizza, just push the button. No human interaction required!
It's not Italian, it's a liability (but frustratingly I can see the attraction).

£1 Fish Man!
There are market traders, and then there are MARKET TRADERS!
Known by his fans as the '£1 Fish Man', this Queens Market legend knows how to get people to buy his produce: sell them cheap and through the power of song.
So, if you happen to be heading to Upton Park for the game, or just knocking about the area one weekend, be sure to keep an eye and an ear out for this joker. Legend indeed!
Thanks JK for bringing this to my attention!
