BRFR Cake Stop 'breaking news' miscellany

Hang on, that's the trigger word for the Cornish sleeper cell of rogue chemists!! All hell will be let loose now, you fool!!

I seem to find it hard to reliably hit the space bar with my right thumb. Hence the plethora of m, n and b's between words. It also throws off autocorrect.

Surprised at Waitrose.

All those champagne socialists isn’t it?

I think Sainsbury's would like a word.
One for the shitty graph thread?

Alan Coren said "I like Sainsburys, it keeps the riff-raff out of Waitrose."

Jeffrey Archer has died. 86. Never read any of his books but they were hugely popular at one time.

And quite tidily, a finished book to be published next month. He was jailed for perjury, but I can't remember him being an arse like too many of today's crop.

I suspect that they didn't need a second reading to get to grips with the intellectual depth. There was obviously a good market for them as readable yarns though, and he knew how to write for that market.

Always happy to be a judge of amateur author competitions, so he could steal plots for his own novels.
