In-built cowardice

NOVELTY RAMEN OF THE WEEK

A tad weird, but pleasant enough - and they do indeed taste like pumpkin pie. (The serving suggestion is with a dollop of whipped cream!) Would eat again...except they were a gift from the States. The fill-to line is quite low, so the noodles end up in a sauce rather than a soup. Went down well with a chicken salad :-)

ADDICTIVE VIDEOGAME OF THE WEEK

This roguelite word game steadily escalates in complexity, has a sense of humour about itself and stars a mascot who resembles Grover from "Sesame Street". What more could you want in a desktop diversion from the work-handover manual you should really be doing? OK, maybe a bonus head'n'shoulders massage.

GEEKY AUDIOPLAYS OF THE WEEK

Am presently on the first story in the second box set of this cult-telly remake. What a shame BF produced no more after 2020. Anyhoo...an Edwardian gentleman vigilante is transported to the Swinging Sixties, where he faces culture shock and a new breed of villain. Brilliant writing (and co-starring) by Guy Adams!
