    My wife sent me a text earlier to tell me she'd forgotten to put a drink in our daughter's packed lunch. I replied saying I'd sort it.

    Yes, but the AD would keep the stickers. And the warranty card. And the hands. And the dial.

    For six months.

    Well, yes. Obviously. They want to cultivate the "relationship".

    Make a nice Crab linguine with chilli & parsley

    Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and add the linguine. Give it a good stir and boil for 1 min less than the pack says. Stir well occasionally so it doesn’t stick.
    While the pasta cooks, gently heat 3 tbsp of olive oil with the chilli and garlic in a pan large enough to hold all the pasta comfortably. Cook the chilli and garlic very gently until they start to sizzle, then turn up the heat and add the white wine. Simmer everything until the wine and olive oil come together. Then take off the heat and add the brown crabmeat, using a wooden spatula or spoon to mash it into the olive oil to make a thick sauce.
    When the pasta has had its cooking time, taste a strand – it should have a very slight bite. When it’s ready, turn off the heat. Place the sauce on a very low heat and use a pair of kitchen tongs to lift the pasta from the water into the sauce.
    Off the heat, add the white crabmeat and parsley to the pasta with a sprinkling of sea salt. Stir everything together really well, adding a drop of pasta water if it’s starting to get claggy. Taste for seasoning and, if it needs a slight lift, add a small squeeze of lemon. Serve immediately twirled into pasta bowls and drizzled with the remaining oil.

    True story: I had stay in from 8-1 this morning so some bloke can come from the water company and say the same thing his predecessor did four years ago. As it turned out, he called and then went on his way while I was taking a slash. What were the chances of that? (About 0.7%, I reckon)

    Nobody has telephoned me in ages. I'm beginning to feel lonely.
    Best Regards - Peter

    I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.
