Not to mention the fact that all life depends on, amongst other things, poo and rotting things in order to eat.

I think I might enjoy the cleanliness of being a pure energy being when I'm dead, although, I'll miss some phyical activities! Mind you, I'm 'missing them now' but, with the aid of alcohol, I may yet get to indulge again before I die.

marmalade" appeared in English in 1480, borrowed from French marmelade which, in turn, came from the Portuguese marmelada. Originally, according to the root of the word, which is marmelo or quince, a preserve made from quinces was intended. Marmelada is a compound of the word marmelo (quince), that derives from Latin melimelum, “honey apple” (Klein’s Comprehensive Etymological Dictionary of the English Language). According to José Pedro Machado’s “Dicionário Etimológico da Língua Portuguesa” (Etymological Dictionary of the Portuguese Language), the oldest known document where this word is to be found is Gil Vicente's play Comédia de Rubena, written in 1521

What match is that then? I am sous chef at the moment - someone is making a bloomin mess of my kitchen with his chocolate and orange marble cake (although i can't wait for it to be cooked because it looks delicious )

Peanut butter is best crunchy (Sainsbury's own, tesco's own or Sun-pat) spread on hot toast with a cup of tea - comfort food at its best

Captain Beaky & His Band (Not Forgetting Hissing Sid!!!) (commonly shortened to Captain Beaky & His Band or just Captain Beaky) are two albums (volumes 1 and 2) of poetry, written by Jeremy Lloyd, set to music by Jim Parker, and recited by a selection of celebrities. The albums generated two books of poetry, BBCtelevision shows, a West End musical, a pantomime ("Captain Beaky And His Musical Christmas" performed by Twiggy, Eleanor Bron, Keith Michell, and Jeremy Lloyd at the Apollo Victoria Theatre, London in December 1981), and performances by the New York City Ballet. The first album was released on vinyl in 1977 and the second in 1980 and both were re-released on compact disc in 2002.
Who Captain Beaky and his band are is perhaps best explained by the first verse of the title track from the first album, "Captain Beaky", which was itself released as a 7 inch single (with "Wilfred the Weasel" and "Blanche" on the B side) by Polydor in 1980 and that reached #5 in the UK charts:
The bravest animals in the land are Captain Beaky and his band
That's Timid Toad, Reckless Rat, Artful Owl and Batty Bat.
They march through the woodlands singing songs
that tell how they have righted wrongs. According to the story told by Jonathan Rowlands, the producer of both albums, when United Kingdom disc jockey Noel Edmonds heard fellow disc jockey Tony Blackburn play the record, "he grabbed it from his turntable, played it just once, and the result was that an atomic scientist who was on secondment with the British Museum, upon hearing the show and recognising that Captain Beaky's bete-noir Hissing Sid! was not all that bad, wrote in [to the BBC] proclaiming "Hissing Sid Is Innocent Okay!"."
The character of Hissing Sid was a snake, mentioned in both "Captain Beaky" on the first album and "The Trial of Hissing Sid" on the second. The slogan "Hissing Sid is Innocent!" became a popular catch phrase, appearing everywhere including as a graffito on walls (sometimes as a modification for earlier "George Davis is Innocent!" graffiti, especially after George Davis' second conviction), on badges, and on car stickers
