  • Worthy of the Spaghetti Harvest Tradition?

    Today I bought some, according to the label:

    Free Range

    Egg Noodles

    So I have a mental image of egg noodles that are allowed to 'roam free during the hours of daylight,' and of farmers chasing them round the fields of a spaghetti farm in order to catch them for the supermarket.

    I guess

    Free Range Egg

    Noodles

    Wouldn't look do good on the packaging... and it wouldn't be as much fun.

    You can see the Spghettit harvest here; before my time of course!

  • Justice and Fairness

    Last night I watched a fascinating programme on BBC 4 on the topic of Justice: Fairness and the Big Society which began by asking whether Wayne Rooney should be paid more than a care worker, moved on to look at social mobility, hedged around university fees and ended up conceding asking just what is meant by the term 'big society'.  Some interesting viewpoints (and a few stereotypes) and a very skilled facilitator.

    Should market forces determine pay?  Should everyone have the same opportunities?  What is an acceptable gap between the highest and lowest pay?  How should further education be funded?  Who benefits (most) from university education?  Where does charitable and voluntary work fit in the grand scheme of things?

    If you didn't see it, and before it disappears from iPlayer, it's worth a look... as is, I suspect the rest of the programmes on this theme.
