Ep. 21 – Chas and Dave

This episode is hampered by chesticular sickness, and was made possible by a hot toddy.

To make a hot toddy in the traditional Thwipping Boys way:

– Squeeze the juices from two lemons. Put aside.

– Grab cafetiere (or alternative infusing method), realise as usual that you forgot to wash it after your last coffee. Wash.

– Place a teaspoon of cinnamon powder and a small handful of cloves into the cafetiere.

– Place in required amount of boiling water (get a grown up for that bit) for whatever mug you are using.

– Place 1-2 teaspoons of Manuka Honey (minimum 10+ activity rating) into the mug.

– After 5 minutes or so, pour the hot water from the cafetiere into the mug. Stir until you are certain the honey has melted.

– Add the lemon juice.

– Add 1-2 shots of whiskey, to taste.

– Stir, and sip while it’s still warm. 

Show Notes for Ep. 21 – Chas and Dave

21:13 – One of us thought ACTION COMICS #6 was Grant Morrison finally kicking into gear.  The others were not convinced.

32:15 – Another Image #1? Yes please.  But can ALPHA GIRL #1 compare to the brilliance of Prophet #21?

37:10 – STORMWATCH #6 was a strong farewell from Paul Cornell which left us wanting more.

45:50 – BATMAN #434 featured an inept Jim Gordon, for some reason.

55:00 – We got something a little bit different with ANIMAL MAN #6.

62:50 – While Animal Man was a bit of a lighter diversion, SWAMP THING #6 threw us deep into the nasty muck headfirst.
