Thought for the day: despite what some would have you believe, there is nothing - not one tiny little thing - that is either hard, clever or big about cooking in expensive restaurants, no matter what the Hun Ramsey would have you believe.

 

Like M.P.White, Ramsey has recently published an autobiography which, like his odious TV programme, revels in his considerable capacity for bullying, swearing and cooking people's tea.

 

Why is this man celebrated? His rebarbative brand of aggression, blue language and hideous appearance are three things that modern society abhors - so why does he remain popular? And who on god's good earth does he imagine will want to read a book dealing with the subject?

 

Do we want to read 400 pages of: "Monday - got up, ruined someone's day by swearing, bullied someone else, beat someone up and then made a fruit pavlova"?

 

No sireebob. Celebrity chefs who revel in machismo are amongst the most laughable entities ever to walk the face of the earth. We must laugh at them, long, hard and often.

 

Yours etc.,

 

Spinoff.
