I Tawt I Taw


Venezuela goes to the polls on Sunday to elect a new President - following the death of Hugo Chavez.

Now I don't have a vote, so it doesn't really matter - but if I did I don't think I would cast it in favour of Nicolas Maduro - because the man is either a complete charlatan or completely mad.

Apparently Nicolas has taken to calling himself "Chavez's son" - which is bad enough - although not quite as ridiculous as his claim that the late president had appeared to him in the form of a little bird.

Tweety Pie, perhaps?

Last week, speaking at the start of the presidential campaign in the house where Mr Chavez was born, Mr Maduro said a small bird had flown around him three times and looked at him "oddly".

At which point the presidential candidate said that he had felt in his soul - that the bird was a message from Mr Chavez.

"I felt its blessing, telling us: 'Today the battle begins, go for victory, you have my blessing'," Mr Maduro went on - no doubt relieved to find that men in white coats had not arrived to take him away.

So, if Nicolas Maduro wins the election on Sunday - which he might well do since all the polls have him as a big favourite - then my prediction is that things in Venezuela are going to take a turn for the worse.

Politics may be a dirty old business at times, but little birds passing on messages of support from 'the other side' - is the same kind of spiritualist nonsense that the great magician and escapologist - Harry Houdini - used to expose.

Next thing you know, Nicolas willl start seeing Puddy Cats - which will probably pass on some helpful tips and advice - about how to run the government.

That's All Folks!

Kentucky Fried Seagull

Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall is one of my favourite - and endearingly bonkers - TV chefs. The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
