That domain is listed as the podcast website on iTunes but there's no content there. At least redirect to the Rum Doings tag on botherer.org or post an image of a cream tea. My grandparents always had fresh salted butter sitting out in a glass dish. Oh, to spread that on a just-baked crust of bread; nearly orgasmic. The joys of a dairy-farming lineage are few, but that was certainly one of them (that and delicious beef). Nothing's as good as meat you've sawed and portioned yourself. I use unsalted butter for baking and have a stick of salted out at room temperature for spreading. If butter's bad for you then salted butter is perhaps doubly so, but it's also doubly delicious. It definitely tastes butterier. I dislike toast. John lost much of my respect when he mentioned his margarine consumption. I LOVED YOU JOHN. HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME, YOUR MOST LOYAL FAN? I would review the podcast but iTunes = Beelzebub. I would retweet it but the mere thought of Twitter gets my dander up. I don't often participate in social networking websites. I've mentioned Rum Doings to friends who now regularly partake. Why aren’t you utilizing rumdoings.org? That domain is listed as the podcast website on iTunes but there’s no content there.

Furthermore, if you quote the antisemitic nutcase Richard Seymour as your reference, then I suggest all is lost.

Salad cream instead of mayonnaise?

At least it wasn’t low-fat mayonnaise which is truly the most detestable food mutations but, nonetheless, you two live utterly repugnant lifestyles…

The butter remains at spreading temperature and keeps perfectly well (note: the latter is particularly true if you use salted butter, which I don't, so I still tend to keep it in the fridge and simply warm a chunk for 10 seconds in the microwave before spreading it in the rare circumstance I want bread rather than toast. I do have a related confession, though: as much as I like good mayonnaise on most else, I prefer salad creme on a sliced-egg-and-tomato sandwich.

Goodness me! Toast melts butter instantly. I could understand if you were having butter on toast, and then using margarine for, say, a sandwich, made of bread. I'd still think you were wrong, but I could understand. There's simply no excuse for using margarine on toast. It doesn’t go cold. Goodness me! Toast melts butter instantly.

Call me back." I wasted <i>four</i> key presses for that? You robbed me of precious seconds to tell me you want to speak to me? I got that from, "2 Missed Calls from Mike". What else would you ring me for? A companionable silence? Oh look, just text me, OK? On retweeting, I originally assumed everyone who follows me already follows you, but that's changed a bit since. So. Um. Mumble. Still, it's a bit of cheek expecting gratitude for the unpaid hours you've put in entertaining us.
