I see a restaurant in N.I. has developed an ice cream which is flavoured with chilli and parmesan.
Now don't get me wrong I will try most things but somehow the idea of eating a big bowl doesn't appeal.

What do others think?
Perhaps it is the sort of thing you just have to try once before you decide.
Maybe it's an acquired taste like Guinness or Marmite.

How much can a baby understand? >>

Rather a lot. I remember wondering why I was completely surrounded by dickheads who thought I couldn't understand what they were saying.

The Lounge in Largs occasionally does beetroot ice-cream. Apparently based on the idea that sweet ice cream is a relatively new idea and savory used to be all the rage in Victorian/Edwardian times.

If anybody knows their ice cream it's Largs.

Must admit I tried it and thought it was excellent.

I saw this on the news but not too sure if I would even want to try it.

Didn't know this bit of news until earlier on this evening.
It seems that Dr Brian Cox once belonged to the group D:Ream.
Isn't it amazing the things you learn on Harry Hill's TV Burp. :o ::):

::): I saw that on Twitter & thought it was a wind-up! No wonder he strikes such a rock'n'roll pose atop the mountains on his Wonders programmes

p.s. I've learnt many an interesting fact from TV Burp, one of my favourite progs :D

Have you ever noticed the way he walks? His right arm gets thrown about like he doesn't want it on every step. I find it quite off-putting when watching him, saying to the telly "For God's sake our Bri, tape that bloody elbow to your belt for Gawd's sake!"
I like him ... He says "Okie Dokie!"

I'm watching episode three where he goes in an antigravity experience plane, limbs akimbo :)

The "Vomit Comet"?

That was a good episode .. and I really want to do that trip. Being one of those who has too much gravity (16 stone of it) it would be good to see how skinny folk feel for a change.

You've been watching too much 'The League of Gentlemen'. If you can manage Legs Akimbo, a new career beckons. Crossing your legs doesn't count, btw.

I can't look at Cox without thinking about Tony Blair. It's really off-putting.

I think they should have picked someone else.
I would almost rather watch Ant & Dec than have to listen to Vernon Kay.
I don't mind regional accents but his is not the best for presenting something like a Royal Wedding.

Would prefer to listen to Stephen Fry, Gyles Brandreth or even Philip Schofield if I had a choice.

I reckon they are trying to keep it young and hip getting down with the yooth or summit :roll: I would have preferred Frankie Boyle and Jo Brand
