"Some mothers may be alarmed at the graphic description of how to administer a Chinese burn, but it’s important to remember that budding females are only about two parts sugar and spice to one part arsenic"
Rowan Pelling, Daily Telegraph
"The criticism sounds a bit anti-girl to me. What makes understanding the rules of cricket (from the DBFB) more serious or worthy than learning how to do basic sewing (from GBGBFG)? Personally, I’m just aching to play the practical joke with the ketchup sachet under the look seat"
