Sushi-Inspiration

JB and Co have a shiny new blog, Sushimatic about all things Japanese. Go check it out. You owe it to a fellow minion

Sunday Roast: good heavens, people!

I have some potentially bad news for car lovers out there - that manufacturer of beautiful cars, TVR, is in danger again. I’ve long lusted after a TVR, and that they’re British makes them even better, so I would be all if they had to shut.
