Imagine a scene in the not-too distant future… after a frenzied period of leaks, rumours, claims and counter-claims, interspersed with no-comments, denials, and increasingly reliable and suggestive evidence emerging from component and sub-assembly manufacturers, Apple Inc announce the imminent release of The Perfect Gadget. The mainstream press attend press conferences and briefings where Apple proclaim that [...]]]> http://boakes.org/perfectgadget/feed/ http://boakes.org/a-few-fairly-witted-stalls/ http://boakes.org/a-few-fairly-witted-stalls/#comments Thu, 03 Apr 2008 20:15:13 +0000 Rich favourite chefs and surrogate conscience provider dessert better river cottage gigs a multiple spit roast featuring goat replete wicker cutlery and forced vegetables range spit roasted meat tesco hugh fearnley whittingstall announced a summer food fair river cottage hq http://boakes.org/?p=741 Warning: apache_lookup_uri() [function.apache-lookup-uri]: Unable to include '/pics/2008/hfw' - error finding URI in /home/www/boakes.org/htdocs/mods/plugins/boakes-depicticon.php on line 65
