Well, one of the prime ministers said we were all so negative we should go and commit suicide. Isn’t it amazing how these people are so marinated in their own lies and deceipt that they can make such statements. We were “talking ourselves into a slow down”, I seem to remember. That same individual hadn’t even had a proper education. Wasn’t he in some position to talk down to the rest of us?!?!?!?!?
The recipe isn’t bad but you forgot to add that under no circumstances should anything be stirred.
What is your choice of wine with this dish?
Charlatan? Pile of nuisance? Merrily-fat? Cabaret sod-off?

This is a dish best eaten after a good flambeeing. Soak in expansive brandy in a smoke filled room and don’t be afraid to really let this fucker of a pudding burn.
Yeah, I think my last President baked that cake and made me eat it too.
