It's Saturday, and in true rock and roll style, a visit to purchase fine cheese has been the order of the day... The Northumberland Cheese Farm down from Blagdon is just peachy for a wide fayre of cheeses... just wondered if anyone has been? If so, what cheese would you recommend? MrVic would recommend a Kielder cheese with a cracker, while I would recommend a Redesdale goats cheese with a grape. Hope all is well, cheese fans.

3 lb. Marrow (or however much has grown in your garden) A little bit of salt 1 lb. brown granulated sugar 1 lb. onions, or basically whatever fits into the plastic bags in the vegetable section before it snaps The same amount of tomatoes as onions… or whatever your greenhouse has to offer A couple of big spoons of ground ginger A jar or 2 of the shredded 'lazy ginger' in a jar A bag of 'stoned dates' (had one or two of them over the years) A couple of big spoons of allspice 1 pint of vinegar… Reet… Chop up the onions, tomatoes and marrow (saving your marrow seeds for next year if they are yarkas) Stick it all in a pan. (Don't use you mate Claire's pan, if you plan on burning things later, or you'll have to hide it from her for the next 2 years) Make the pan hot, by putting on a cooker. Not too hot though or it could burn and Claire will not be happy. When it goes a bit squashy, add the vinegar, spice and chop in the dates. Oh, and the salt. And the ginger too… divvint worry about the different in the jars of chopped stuff… hopefully you should have added enough spice that no-one will ever taste it. If I haven't missed out anything, there should only be sugar left. Add this, stirring slowly. It should mix nice. If everything looks totally watery, have a bit more sugar on hand to thicken it up. Leave on a low heat until 'Holiday Showdown' or other Saturday afternoon entertainment has finished… if making on a Sunday, do not substitute this ingredient with Eastenders omnibus, as it is rubbish and just too long. Have a look at the chutney. Is it ready? Stir the bottom of the pan… BEWARE: it may bubble and burn your skin off. If it doesn't it isn't cooking right. Keep rocking on chutney style until it's a bit thick. (You may need to skim off some watery stuff and have a skin graft as part of this process). Stick it in some jars, and become popular with friends and neighbours until it is gone, and you have none left yourselves. Use the smaller, and mankier jars for the people you don't like. Keep on loving the chutney. The end.

2 big burly bouncers (1 male, 1 female... I think) outside the Bell ce soir, showing that the new proprietors wish to portray the image of a classy venue. Still looked like knackers inside. Mind with a street full of teenyboppers celebrating a clutch of D's while on E's, the Bell didn't look too bad.

Not naming names but a kid on his way home from Hollymount got jumped on by a couple of blokes who had been in the Black Bull. The lad had run into Best Bite after the attack, and that's when the police and ambulance were called.

Post your favourite online video clips here. Just wrap the video page web address in tags like this.... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yxi6QDwQyLU[/media] I'll start with this...

Last night at about mid-night i was awoken by a helicopter hovering over my street (HollyMount Square) i looked out the window and saw a police car and a ambulance, the helicopter was a police one. I was just wondering if anybody know what had happened?

The Whitley Memorial School was apparently broken into that night, police dog handlers were also in attendance

You forgot 'Feed to butterflies'.....

How are Shepard's meant to see there sheep at night?

I like cheese. Any cheese. But that place is a bit pricey for me so I wait for it at the cheap section in Tescos.

For the first two weeks they are open.

Wasn't there a large road traffic accident on the Spine Road?

Yeah I was watching things last night as well. I assume it has something to do with the recent car break-ins over the last couple of days. Apparently 16 in one night so I guess they are on high alert.

Normally problems such as this one are due to add-ons, but i'm sensing this is a clean installation? If not, try running IE in No Add-ons mode, and see if the problem persists. For those who dont know how, you click start orb then select programs, accessories, system tools, Internet Explorer (no add-ons): I would add a screen shot, but apparently i cant use img tags on this board !? You should be able to identify the Add-on by disabling each in turn, if the above seemed to solve the problem. The next suggestion would be an IE reset, but lets see how this works out first. Let us know how you get on
