I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned but ..... It's pancake day

I have had some loverly ones with Ice cream slowly melting and melted dark chocolate, squirted with Baileys squirty Cream. MMMMmmmmmMMM

I also had a suar and lemon one. what a strange combination. I know that originally the pancakes were to use up all the old stock, but who ended up with a lemon??........ Actually on second thoughts I'm not surprised the lemon was left til the end, out of all the fruits in the basket it's hardly the one you would grab for first when it comes to a succulent juicy treat!

PS: This is a WARNING: There is a new Cillit Bang advert and he's even more shouty than normal. Avoid at all cost!!

For All you Maid Marian fans

Danny John-Jules has performed many songs written for 'Maid Marian And Her Merry Men' - a comical children's adaptation of the Robin Hood tale - in his guise as Barrington, the First Rastafarian. This song opens the episode, 'A Game Called John'.

It's pancake day
Yes, it's pancake day
Yes, it's p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-pancake day
Well, it's pancake day
It's really pancake day
Yes, it's p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-pancake day

Now the Merry Men know about pancake making
'cause pancake day is a regular fixture
You take your frying pan, and some sugar and jam
And get on down to make the mixture

Well you take a dozen eggs, take a cup of milk
And don't forget to add a little flour
And then you beat it up with a wooden spoon
And leave it to settle for just one hour

'cause it's pancake day
Yes, it's pancake day
Yes, it's p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-pancake day
Well, it's pancake day
It's crucial pancake day
Yes, it's p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-pancake day

But back in the village of Worksop
Where the living ain't so funny
They make their pancakes out of dirty old mud
'cause they ain't got no flipping money

Their smiles are wide, 'cause the tears they hide
Even though their life is hell
But the smiles start to fall, when the sheriff comes to call
And he brings King John as well

The Oscars are nearly upon us, but it looks like these people are more interested in the Golden Globes
