I am muddled as to what to do during the One Show... This evening it was on during my first reading of this post... so I suppose I sort of ignore it.

I'm usually out in the kitchen during the One Show. I come back in to bring the Sage a drink and find him reading the paper or writing emails. I've never actually seen the One Show. Has anyone?
ReplyDeleteHow do you reduce an oyster?
What is One Show? Oh! I googled. this entry
ReplyDeletehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_One_Show reads like a soap opera synopsis.
Please don't sell it to the Aussie moguls. Some things are never meant to reach this outpost of Empire.
And, yes, please explain oyster reduction.
Reduced oysters are oysters that are being sold off at half price at your local upmarket superstore on Christmas Eve, so that you can enjoy a traditional seafood supper and then elicit equal quantities of amusement and commiseration from your companions for the rest of the festive period, whilst risking a critical toilet paper shortage. Don't go there!
ReplyDeleteI haven't got a schooner so is it ok to not drink Drambuie by the kayak, or even sitting in it?
ReplyDeleteI've missed the One Show altogether. Is that ok?
ReplyDeleteI think I've got another one for your list - well, it would go on mine .... clean venetian blinds.
