The VMA's opened with Britney Spears and Jonah Hill "preparing" for the show. It should have been funny but it was an EPIC FAIL. The crowd didn't even laugh at any of it. Here it is.CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE BRITNEY'JONAH INTRO

Here is a seasonal starter for you.  Very quick and a bit different but with all the deliciousness of melted cheese!

CAMEMBERT AND PEAR SALAD (4)

1 camembert or 2 x 150g mini camembert
15g butter
Pinch of dried rosemary
Pinch of dried chilli or ½ red chilli deseeded and finely sliced
1 tsp brown sugar
3 pears, quartered and cored
Pepper
Salad leaves

Wrap the cheeses in baking parchment or foil and  put on a baking sheet in the oven at 180C for 10 minutes.  Melt the butter in a frying pan and add the rosemary, chilli, sugar, pears and add some pepper.  Cook for 4 minutes, stirring.  Cut each cheese in half serve on some salad leaves with some pear and the sauce.

Does capitalism produce too much waste? The answer is "maybe not," though waste is a feature of the affluence that capitalism brings. In rich countries poor people can even live off the waste discarded by others.

In poorer countries waste is a valuable commodity bringing income to those who can re-use it. In Vietnam I saw young children spreading wet waste cardboard onto house roofs after a rainstorm, and was told they made money by drying it out and selling it on.

In World War II Britain there was little waste. With supplies scarce things were used efficiently. Potato peelings made soup, bones were boiled for stock, and leftover scraps were recycled into the next day's meal. It is because people live in surplus today that they can afford to discard things which might be used. Buying a chicken stock cube is easier for some than the effort of boiling a chicken carcass. Recycling has time costs which are usually overlooked.

Some so-called waste actually saves. Much food packaging keeps the food fresher for longer and prevents food wastage. Some of it keeps the food freer from dangerous organisms, too. Packaging often makes goods easier to transport and distribute.

Recycling is sometimes useful but can be counter-productive. It is good to recycle aluminium cans because of the energy required to extract the metal from its ore, but it's doubtful if newsprint justifies the cost of collection, transportation and processing, or the chemicals which leach into the environment when it is recycled. Better perhaps to farm young trees for paper.

There is indeed waste in the economy if we don't use it or dispose of it efficiently, but there is money to be made in doing that. What is waste for some can be profit for others.

Coach Tomlin APPROVES

JAYNE  2008 Pencil on paper 30x23inches

Have I missed something?   I can't find the Herculis Crossword today.  There is reference to the 'linked clues' in Saturday's GK crossword but the Herculis doesn't appear on the back page of the Monday paper - is my eyesight worse than I thought or has it moved somewhere else? 

This could be serious - I don't always do the Saturday one for lack of time but the Herculis is a habit.

Once again I have commented on one of his posts only to get the message that my comment has been submitted and awaits his approval.

Yet Tom denies that he has set up a "filter".

I feel for him. It must be very frustrating for him to be effectively excluded from the forum. Please, somebody, do something about this!
