The Velvet Spoon - Peep Show Series 8

Sick of having to make a cup of coffee for other people just because you want one? Well you should get onto the 'velvet spoon' routine... coined by the creators of Peep Show the Velvet Spoon enables to you make yourself a coffee while other are completely oblivious and therefore don't have to make them one. In series 8, episode 2 of Peep Show, Mark is doing some late night work and gets up to make a coffee. As he makes the coffee he uses the Velvet spoon routine so that his flatmate Jez doesn't hear and therefore doesn't have to make him one, however, Mark is rumbled by Jez who has been kept up all night by Marks effort to 'massacre imaginary ants swarming [his] keyboard". I've provided a link to the episode on youtube. At 7:31 you can see the velvet spoon in action. The velvet spoon involved stirring the spoon without making contact the the sides or bottom of the coffee cup to avoid making noise. Takes a little more time than normal stirri...

How to sew a clasp to a medal

The medals didn't come with information on how to attach the medals only how far apart to place them. They miniature medal is obviously just through the eyelet and around the edge (see 1st sketch bellow) but the large medal has two eyelets which could be sewn through just the eyelets (left side of 2nd sketch) and not around the edge or around the edge (right side of 2nd sketch).

What you will need: - medals and clasps (obviously) - measurements (should comes with medal) - thread matching the ribbon (in this case green and not gold...also obvious) - needle and needle threader - scissors - ruler Measure the distances according to the information provided with the medal. This is the mini...

NEW - Jagermeister premix cans

For all those Jager lovers out there it now comes in a premixed can!!! Raw is Jagermeister and Pulse (energy drink) tastes exactly like a Jager-bomb that has exploded. Ginger Lime is Raw with a bit of extra flavour. It reminded me of a Smirnoff Mule, so if you like Mule and you like Jager this is the ideal drink. Each can is 1.7 Australian Standard Drinks and 6.5% alcohol. I paid $5.50 a can, which is pretty expensive (Aussie premix drink tax didn't help) but I was excited to check them out. Bottoms up! Other drinks reviews: Summer Ginger Beer, Broo, Cheeky Rascal, Rubi Rolla Cruizer & WKD Iron Brew St Peter's Ruby Red Ale, Young's Double Chocolate Stout & Newcastle Brown Ale
