  • smell you later

    A couple of days ago a chilli con carne was being prepared in our house. Actually technically it was in the kitchen on the stove, not all over the house. All the ingredients were prepared, put into the pan to cook, and left to simmer gently. The family settled down to watch part two of…

The TV coverage then replayed the error time and time again, with the commentators making stupid references to the…
