A German Teletext page from 1984 with a pork roast recipe. Three sentences of cooking instructions with the ingredients in the sentences collected on the left column in a different color.

Now that’s a great way to present recipes in an ultra-compact form. Praised be the power of (Teletext) limitations!

Rare bright orange shark discovered in Costa Rica Check out this amazing creature, which is so far the only one of its kind.

Are we sure it didn’t just fall in some curry like that seagull did

Newspaper clipping. 

CORRECTION: In yesterday's

paper in Chris Searle's jazz

albums column, we incor-

rectly referred to Don Rendell

as a "terrorist" when it clearly

should have been "tenorist." We

apologise for any offence.

To be fair, I’ve heard some terrible jazz that might have required a police presence in my time.

It needs a long recording for the squashing to get a full set, as the in-vision carousel takes so long to go round!

Annual Quality Street audit done. As usual, poor show on the ABC triangles and chock-a-blocks, loads of the strawberry ones and blue ones I don’t like. 2kg tin @inequalitystreet.bsky.social
