Leith diners enjoy a grin and tonic with Buckfast ice cream - Edinburgh Evening News

via edinburghnews.scotsman.com

IT'S been blamed for boozy violence and derided as the drunkard's favourite.
Now Buckfast is top of the menu for diners in Leith, where a restaurant is using the fortified tonic wine in its new range of summer ice creams.

Englishman, Scotsman and an Irishman, or E:S:I, is serving up Buckfast ripple ice cream to its lunchtime customers - and despite the drink's reputation, it's going down a storm with discerning diners.

Mr Penquin goes on holiday to Australia

A penguin, bored with the Antarctic weather, was on holiday driving through outback Australia when he started hearing a strange knocking sound from the car’s engine. Knowing how dangerous it would be for a polar sea-bird to be stuck in the middle of the desert, he quickly pulled into the next service-station.

The mechanic took a quick look at the car, and said “Mate, it’ll take me a few minutes to find out what’s going on”, so the penguin ducked (penguined?) into the shop and bought an ice-cream. Unfortunately, the hot sun was melting the ice-cream, and penguin flippers not being the most dextrous of limbs, he got as much ice-cream on his face as he did in his mouth.

Rather annoyed now, the penguin went back to the mechanic to see what was wrong. The mechanic looked at the penguin for a moment, and shook his head.

“Mate, I’m sorry, but it looks like you’ve blown a seal.”

“No, no!”, replied the penguin. “It’s only ice-cream!”

But Can He Walk and Chew Gum?

There are almost 1.5 million signatures and growing, against the British Governments proposed congestion charging proposals on the Downing Street Web Site.

Tim Ireland of Bloggerheads has an even more important petition established. Hopefully Tony will take this one more seriously than the other.

Mr Whippy? No, I'm a speed cop in disguise

Police in New Zealand, frustrated by a rural grapevine that tips off drunken drivers whenever checkpoints are set up, are taking to the roads in ice cream vans playing Greensleeves. The ruse was admitted recently "It is pretty easy to tell what an undercover police car looks like "We have to be sneaky to catch these people", say the coppers.

The subterfuge came to light after a parent complained that children had been upset when they approached an ice cream van to buy a cornet."They were scared because there was a big, burly policeman in the back."

In another twist on the violation of childrens rights, the Orange County Sheriff's Office is doing something about rampant speeding in their patch, launching Operation ELF: Enforcing Limits and Fining speeders. Over 150 people had their seasonal goodwill violated in just two hours. Thanks Dizzy for this one.





With tactics like these, their colleagues can have little rest.
