Maybe instead of looking to C&S for sponsorship you should outsource your services to all those companies who are spending thousands trying to do what you've done for free. You get my vote in the netvisionaries btw. Hews Hi Grandad, just wanted to say what a clever thing you’ve done.

Somebody recently said to me:
I’ll find you in Dublin when we arrive …

To which I responded,
‘Yes, among the million or so inhabitants. ‘

So if John does find you, it’ll prove he’s in the CIA.

How can you think of food and make-up in the same sentence? Steph - I'll have to take your word for it about the fish. M&S don't have a branch up the mountains.

The winner was the fish pie from the M&S Gastro-Pub range of food. I tried it out and I'm afraid I have to agree with the survey - it was equally tasty, much less sloppy and had decent chunks of identifiable fish in it - and I haven't bought a Cully & Sully one since. I recommend you grit your teeth (if you've any left) and venture into Marks and Sparks to put my theory to the test. I guess I just lost you the C&S contract! I do like their 'Mild Chicken Curry' though and their mushroom soup is DELICIOUS!

See how much trade I send their way? Their fish pie is a load of fish [prawns, Alaskan hake, haddock] mixed up with mushrooms and butter in a creamy sauce. This is covered in creamy mashed potato, and comes in a lovely little ceramic bowl. Just pop it in the oven and away you go. Absolutely fantastic. If you click on the Cully & Sully category in the sidebar, you'll see some of the problems I've been having with the number of bowls we've collected though. Of course, if they don't sponsor me, then the pies are disgusting. I probably did, Sue. See how much trade I send their way?
