    To cook a lot of his dishes you need to buy every kitchen gadget known to mankind and having access to a science lab is preferable though not essential.

    As for ingredients. If you can't afford to have a TV company fly you half way across the world to pick up the ever handy and available Lotus Beetle Eggs then he does provide alternatives.

    Heston Blumenthal is either a mad scientist or an architect, never in a million years is he a chef.

    I don't know.

    Many a time I recall standing in the kitchen during service wondering about the sub-atomic structure of egg and being confounded that I couldn't merge with the similar structure of mint and serve it as a sorbet.

    I bought one of his books and bought all the equipment required for his recipes and was promptly raided by Special Branch looking for a bomb factory.

    My boss thinks Heston is great.

    Bought the cook book, bought all the utensils required and now can't fit in the kitchen.

    Problem solved with takeaway.

    Looking promising, this is in todays Journal:

    While Alan Pardew has also personally intervened in the chase for Lille winger Gervinho.

    The Magpies hierarchy made a bid for Frenchman Gameiro at the start of the month, but were initially told by the player’s agent that his client had his heart set on a move to Spain.

    However, interest from top level La Liga clubs has not materialised so far. That has encouraged United, leading to yesterday’s improved bid.

    Newcastle hope the lack of firm interest from elsewhere will lead to their offer for the 24-year-old being accepted by Lorient.

    With only one firm bid on the table, the player may decide a move to England is the best option available, leading to a quick deal before rivals can move.

    With 48 goals in 103 appearances for Lorient, Gamerio appears to have the sort of goalscoring pedigree Pardew is looking for to fill the gap left by Andy Carroll.

    United’s pursuit of Gervinho has been a long one, and while Liverpool and Arsenal are credited with an interest, the fact Newcastle are willing to pay the fee in full up front gives them an advantage on their rivals.

    The player is believed to have agreed to meet with Pardew this week, who tried to impress on him the size and scale of the club, as well as their ambition.

    The speed with which they are moving is also designed to gain a head star on any rivals, with Pardew keen to land his first summer signing before others have a chance to get their own transfer budgets in order.

    The Ivory Coast international can play on either flank, or through the middle, and is an international team-mate of Cheik Tiote, another advantage for United in a competitive market.

    All I can think of is Pardew saying:

    Pardew: Ooh. It's about so high and so so wide... Look. Here's a 1/16th model. We want to win things.

    To be honest, Pardew can talk the talk.

    I have nothing against Africans (to allay the fevered brows of the PC brigade) but I don't want too many in the squad due to the Africans Nation Cup.

    Hopefully we'll have a big enough squad next year for it not to have a massive effect

    It's true. I'd be so happy. Pleasing to see you were thinking of me AB haha

    Concerned though, if Gameiro doesn't wanna play in Newcastle then I don't wanna make him. Don't want bad morale!
    Saying that though, he's not actually said he doesn't want to play in England at all has he? Just stated Spain as his preferred choice. So he might still be happy enough. Then if he puts his share of effort in then he could be very very happy indeed in the long run!
