I've had a few of his books for years, but had never seen one of his programmes until a couple of years ago, and I have to agree........he annoys the hell out of me! I can't watch him, but love his recipes. He's a chum of Nigella

But the best one was when we discussing the upcoming Bank Holiday weekend, I was quite exicted as was going to Oulton Park for the Gold cup, had a night out on the beers planned with j4ckos mate etc and he comepltely upstages me when I asked what he was doing and he said "Going to a Gay Fetish party in Oslo", strange thing was, apart from the bum fest aspect, I was quite jealous !

Sorry J4CKO,i mean carrying a gentlemans pouchette, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Regarding the Gay Fetish party in Oslo there could be a few awkward situations when going to the toilet methinks.......

Simple supper? A single boiled carrot is a simple supper.
What he does is far from a "simple supper" its a properly fully prepared meal. Nice, but my idea of simple is something I can thrash together in 10mintutes without marinading overnight, using a food processor/mixer or traipsing round the herb garden.
Like my cheesy pasta bake - cheese (gouda is good, but cheddar will do), pasta and a stir in sauce. Add chilli for zing. Can make your own sauce or spice up a ready made one - just by dumping in random stuff from the spice rack. when sauce and pasta is cooked, just melt the cheese on top under the grill. If you like whiffy cheese, sprinkle on some grated parmesan.
Or just a good proper rib-eye steak. **** it on a pre heated hotplate (as hot as possible) , 3-4 minutes a side, Cook the steak when the Oven chips are nearly done (20-25mins), boil some peas(4mins - assuming you pre-boiled the water). Crack open a tinny. Done.

I remember me and J4ckos mate, plus a couple of others going to a Gay club in Manchester, J4ckos mate stood on the stairs saying hello to everyone and how he was not gay but his mates had made him come in here, we had a great time, getting chatted up by blokes on the dance floor (like that scene in American Pie), a Lesbian bird gave us poppers and I bought a bottle, ace stuff ! I went to the bogs and saw a girl in a leotard go in, strange I thought until "she" whapped her **** out and stood at the urinal and had a p1ss.
The music was great, all sort of funk based, mad atmosphere.
I saw "her" again later, a rather sour faced, skinny tranny with too much make up (not that I prefer them with less or anything) only this time she was being taken up the wrongun (though correct for the establishment) by a muscly chap, now despite the air of devil may care, pushing the boundaires and novelty, we were all really quite niave and went to traditional "chicken in a basket", Hen Night, pissed office girl, straight laced clubs that played CeCe Peniston and ****e like that so this was new, and I couldnt help but stare, agog at what I was seeing, the tranny was looking back and caught my eye and said "What the f*ck are you looking at", for once in my life I didnt have an answer.
So, thats my daliance with the Gay lifestyle, I really enjoyed it and was kind of dissapointed when Jackos mate didnt want to go again, my only problem was the whole ******** men thing, even if they wear a leotard

Probably, actually less awkward than standing next to any bloke at the urinal !

Never mind him being gay or non-gay, I didn't even know who he was, my bad. However, on the subject of food programmes, I saw whatsit effing-n'-blinding one's shot last night, where he cooked the most unhealthy breakfast on a Christmas Day. Salmon and scrambled eggs were justified on toased croissant bits, but he put about a tonne of butter and half a tonne of cream in those 4 eggs! That's bad for heart, very bad. 
If Nigel is cooking healthy for his simple suppers, I don't really care if he is a gay or a tranny TBH.
