    He does. He is far too reticent.

      It really is rank amateurism of the presenters to keep giving him a name-check, however much he bombards them with e-mails. CFM don't favour specific listeners like this. I suspect even the most ardent fans of the new regime are fed up with it.
      LL - maybe he's their only respondent!

          Well, If you and Herbie are one and the same, can I just say your last brain teaser was an absolute stinker only worthy of a Gorilla of the Third Remove! Chiz, chiz

              Dare I ask (and I fear the answer) what is a red velvet cake? It somewhat shrieks of the miasma of the Edwardian demi-monde ... in deepest Chancery.

                I would definitely have choked had I not by then already finished my slice *phew*

                Classic line, Anna!

                  As they say, GIYF. Fearing the worst, I had a look, and there is such a thing, apparently. It would require someone of your culinary prowess to make it successfully, I imagine.

                  That said, I think your idea of the Edwardian demi-monde is better.

                    Oh, I think it used to be called Devil's Food Cake? Trust you Metrosexuals to sex it up with a bit of Tipping the Velvet titillation!

                          He may be a smoothie, but actually, is around about your age so not so much of the ageist word - you also are an old smoothie!!! Peas in a pod you are!

                                I suspect mangie and I are each a bit of both, depending on how the mood takes us... Sometimes, 'extra-fins'... sometimes totally mushy... but always very original !!
