• The great House of Steel spaghetti bolognese that I made a good few days ago now has provided me for three full pasta-bolognese dinners and two Bolognese Tower Sandwiches, and there’s even a bit left over for another such sandwich tomorrow!I think that spag bol should be one of the central dishes of every student repertoire (and repertoire of those masquerading as students, such as myself!).The other dish is the legendary Five Fish Finger Sandwich with Spinach and Salad-cream (FFFSSS).A box of fish fingers, then, and the ingredients for the bolognese, should almost sort one student out for food for about a week.
• Also, I learnt a new Latin phrase today. It is useful to say it in a conversation to make yourself SEEM intellectually superior. The phrase is nihil radicibus sparget.

It means “nothing will spread onto the root vegetables”.
