I love how the dog is sniffing around Hobo-flash. We all know what he’s thinking don’t we? “How brittle must this man’s bones be to be able to run so fast?”

Peter, you’re friends are freaking out right now. Not sure if its because of the huge Spider-man behind you all waiting to give you a bear hug of death, or because you’re too self absorbed to notice.

Wasn’t there an Earth-2 Batman, or was he dead by this time? Are the Justice League sure they’re being crushed or are they just itchy? Why is Batman smiling on that left column? Why is Black Canary’s wig so poor? So many questions, but really isn’t it more fun not to know the real answers?

This explains so much don’t you think? Nice hooves.

News reaches us today of a self making bed. Yes, you read that correctly, a bed that makes itself and if you don’t believe me look at the pictures.

You see that grinning gentleman? He’s happy because he’ll never have to make his bed ever again. Ever. Again. Doesn’t that sound like a little piece of Heaven?

 Plus he can claim insurance when he breaks his shins getting in and out; his loved ones can have their mortgage paid off when a “freak” accident finds him decapitated one evening; he can then be the first person to trial a self closing coffin.

That kids, is how evolution works.

Have you ever seen an angrier hemorrhoid? No amount of Preparation H would be able to shift that bastard.

Interesting angle. You can see the artist has a real architectural eye, picking out the twist-on-classic juxtaposition between road, pavement, buildings and 10 foot high heeled black pvc boot. Inspiring.

Ignoring the obvious narcissistic sexual connotations, because those are beneath us of course, could this be Arthur and Arthur trying their costume as King of Hearts? Nah, its definitely narcissistic and sexual in nature.

Another very quick and easy recipe this week, which I found yesterday and cooked last night. Very tasty indeed.

If you can’t find cod, or are concerned about overfishing, then any other meaty white fish should do.

Ingredients

• 1 lemon, quartered
• 4 pieces prime skinless cod portions, each weighing about 125g
• 3 fresh lemon thyme sprigs
• Salt and cracked black pepper
• 2-3tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 2 x 410g cans chickpeas, drained
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 2 tsp ground cumin

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C, gas mark 7.
2. Place the cod fillets in a roasting tin.
3. Squeeze the juice from the lemon quarters, and reserve.
4. Put the lemon quarters into the tin with the fish and thyme, then sprinkle with salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil.
5. Roast for 10-15 minutes on the top shelf or until the fish is cooked.
6. Place the chickpeas in a food processor with the reserved lemon juice, the garlic, cumin, some seasoning and the remaining olive oil.
7. Process for a few seconds so the mash still has some texture.
8. Heat the mash in the microwave on full power for 1-2 minutes.
9. Spoon on to warmed plates, top with a piece of fish and drizzle over a little oil.
