30/8/99 - The massive search for Cornish ice cream. I couldn't find a recipe but I found a place that sells it (in Cornwall!) or there is a page on Cornish food in general. I like this quote:

"Once you have tasted Cornish Ice Cream, you will be spoiled for anything else. Not only does it combine exotic ingredients, like Rum and Raisin, it uses fresh fruit and clotted cream to provide a taste and texture that is deliciously, decadently unique."

This has Cornish recipes, including clotted cream, but not ice cream

This is definitely not a recipe!

This place offers Cornish ice cream (and it's nearer London than Cornwall!) And I quote: "See the blackboard in the bar for today's (mostly totally unhealthy) choice. Hot puds are offered with either custard, pouring cream or a dollop of Cornish ice cream." Mmmm

30/8/99 - There is now a website for the Pragmatist but the latest issue is not up. A previous cover has won an award and should eventually be here (sometime in September)

29/8/99 - For all those contemplating working in a video store. Be warned!

29/8/99 - For fans of John McCain his wobbling is disheartening.

29/8/99 - I saw this on CNN. Quite staggering doublespeak (last paragraph).

BLITZER: The Reverend Jerry Falwell, expressing his sentiments about the Republican presidential front-runner George W. Bush. Welcome back to LATE EDITION.

Joining us now from Lynchburg, Virginia, is the Reverend Jerry Falwell, chancellor of Liberty University. And in Washington, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, founder of the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition.

Gentlemen, always good to have both of you on LATE EDITION. I'll begin with a quote from an article that James Carville has in this new issue of Time magazine. He advises the news media, don't ask about the cocaine question to Governor Bush, and he advises Governor Bush, don't tell.

He goes on and says, "so why should he keep quiet, because once you start answering, you're never going to be able to stop." Cocaine, how many times did you do it? Where? Who was your source. That person might still be at large. It's like an elevator that has no down button. It just gets higher and higher."

Reverend Falwell, is it important in your opinion, that Governor Bush end this discussion once and for all by simply answering the question, whether or not he ever used cocaine?

FALWELL: You know, that maybe the first time in history that I agree with James Carville, but I was with Governor Bush last Wednesday in Roanoke, Virginia, and that was my advice to him. You know, he's talking 15 years ago, 25 years ago. I think I would be and I imagine that's where Reverend Jackson is, that the past is the past is the past.

And if it's forgiven and forgotten, by God it ought to be by us, present day behavior I think is the only domain, unless a person has criminal record or felonies that are hidden and that kind of thing, but, as far as I'm concerned, I told the governor tell the press to get lost and walk on.
