What another rant?

Wonderful stuff!

Great Christmas present (with a bottle of port), and quite useful as a pen pot after all has been consumed.

When I was young(er) Stilton used to be known as stinky smelly cheese (my Dad loves it). Some years ago mum and dad went on a short break to Paris, and found a specialist cheese shop. In franglais dad asked for some 'smelly' cheese and brought it home with them. Apparently the plane had a funny smell that trip, and the house smelt of old socks when they got back home. He gave me some, which went in the freezer, and our house had a funny smell for months. It turned out that this cheese had no flavour but an awful smell like old socks! Something was obviously lost in the translation, he really wanted a strong cheese!
