Roy Castle once described Magnates as “people of rank, power, influence, and distinction. Often in a specified area”. Roy was clearly a wise, luxurious man. Alas Roy sucked one smoky trumpet too many and got the black lung,otherwise we could seek his wise counsel on this Zanussi matter…

In Roy’s absence I will offer this glib answer: If Zanussi are the appliance of science, Moore’s Law dictates fridges must become ever more powerful until – in 2028 – their evolution attains its frosty crescendo. This technological apex will counteract global warming, allowing puffins to roam the earth. Picking-off celebrities at will with their vibrant, sexy beaks…

the suggestion, however, that the ok but flawed ‘pablo honey’ somehow flexes more merit than ‘amnesiac’ (which bludgeons the former by virtue of it’s beautful ltd edition poncy ‘library book’ packaging alone) is fighting talk in this parish, i’m afraid.

this is a good article though, and when i read it i laughed until i stopped. i’ve not seen any of the videos either, so i’m going to look at them now.
