Ken's New Year Message



We bestride the cleft of the buttocks of not only a new year, but a new decade.

At this moment have a thought for past actions, decisions and plans that have been delayed and put off for weeks, months or even years.

Delay, dithering and procrastination in the hope that something will work out invariably makes matters worse.

I urge you to follow these three simple rules:

1 Don't dither.

2 Don't delay.

3 Make the decision, take action and grasp your destiny firmly by the horns; as you don't know how long you have left to enjoy the fruits of your labours.

The future is firmly in front of you, and it is in your hands!

Happy New Decade.

One of the trickiest parts of cooking on Christmas Day is knowing when your bird is ready.

Simply prick your bird's thighs; if the juices run clear your bird is ready, if there is blood then your bird needs more time in the oven.

Ken's Christmas Tips - Don't Watch The BBC


The BBC is presenting its worst Christmas Day schedule since I can remember (they have even exhumed The Two Ronnies!).

I have an old Radio Times in my archives from the 70's, that has a better selection of programmes that this pile of shite.

AVOID THE BBC ON CHRISTMAS DAY!
