It was my birthday last week and the two leading ladies of my life, Mum & Caroline both made me a cake. I’m still feeling pretty smug.

Mum made me a classic chocolate cake with cream filling. Very chocolately, very creamy, very ‘mum’ and very damn good.
Caroline tried a little fruity number (still talking about the cake here), a Strawberry cheese cake with masses of fresh strawberries sitting on a bed of creamy goodness, nestling in a delicious crumbly base with white chocolate chunks in - delicious.

Needless to say, both cakes were absolutely amazing. It was the first time I’d had two slices of cake for breakfast ever. I was ready for a kip by 10am that morning…

Ah, classic Spaced. This phrase comes in handy so often these days…

Someone even went through the time and trouble of making an internet site for it: www.whataprick.net.
What sort of twisted person does this in their spare time? (25 minutes to be exact)

…I think so. It beats the 80’s logo cliches video which was previously top of my list.

This video really is too cool for school.

Last time I was at my Mums house, she showed me a rather nice old sign making kit for shopkeepers, before the days of glossy point of sale stands or computer printed shelf pricing. A more innocent time when shopkeepers had to make their own signs for these sorts of things. It comes complete with classic vintage clip art, like the pointing finger. Fantastic.

Well, it’s on eBay now, so if you’re interested check it out.
