Milk stout and chocolate milk stout is very, very nice. :) People have been making milk stouts for over 200 years!

I've always misread Ken Livingstone as Ian Livingstone. So whenever Red Ken emerges from his lair to have a pop at the current government or Mayor of London, I'm puzzled what the founder of the Fighting Fantasy books is doing getting involved.

At least the real Ian Livingstone has finally got his knighthood. Should have had one years ago.

...Not quite a 'label', but this video advert flashed up earlier on a web page I was browsing.

Anyone else suddenly think of any particular (in)famous Speccy compilation...?

I thought we were getting a new tower-climbing open-world icon janitor version of Hungry Horace or something. (Well not really, but it was a genuine double-take!)
