The fact that people might and do still fall for this is a comment on the logical thought processes and venality of much of our shared species, I'm afraid to say.
In more appetizing news, having a duck breast in the fridge that needed to be cooked this week, I did indeed cook it. And I ate it. Well, I ate about 1/3 of it. Pan-baked (so I could skim off the fat), scored and seasoned with my tagine mix. Nom. And enough left over to make two more meals (duck risotto on Friday? Could be....). No wine, tho - too early in the recovery period for that.
No, I did not take pictures - I was too busy trying to defend my meal from a certain Cat-of-Size who is currently in disgrace.
And yes, as you may have guessed from this food report, I'm feeling better. Not 100% yet, but well over 60%, which is a damned nice improvement....

Date: 2012-03-16 12:48 am (UTC)A little more imagination as to the name wouldn't go amiss, either; Stephen Hester is the Chief Executive of Royal Bank of Scotland, which owns NatWest, and was recently browbeaten by the UK government into giving up his annual bonus. Ah - perhaps that's why there's a spare £9.55 million...
