It is commonly referred to as the 'San Siro' due to the area, like 'Celtic Park' is referred to as 'Parkhead'. Incidentally, I have been to 'The Emirates' recently and you could hear a pin drop. Nice stadium but is more akin to a theatre than a football stadium. Hi Andrea,

San Siro is the district of Milano where you will find the ‘Stadio Giuseppe Meazza’. It is commonly referred to as the ‘San Siro’ due to the area, like ‘Celtic Park’ is referred to as ‘Parkhead’.

Incidentally, I have been to ‘The Emirates’ recently and you could hear a pin drop. Nice stadium but is more akin to a theatre than a football stadium.

Selected by Saint Delia herself, they're not pukka, but Hollands - a great selection including stilton and mushroom and beef in red wine. i’d also recommend you try out Norwich City for both a great atmosphere (near capacity every match, even if its just to lose against the likes of crewe and stoke) and top class pies.

Can you help me reword it as you are a wordsmith extraordinaire! Dear Sir/Madam On my way to work this morning I stopped at my local newsagents, while I was waiting at the counter to pay for my purchases I noticed a pack of Jollytime “Mega Bang Sour Mix”. As an avid fan of sour sweets I excitedly bought a packet to make today’s packed lunch that bit more exciting. All morning my mouth was watering at the prospect of the mega sour delight waiting for me, the minutes were ticking past so slowly – how time can drag! Finally 12 o’clock arrived and I could eat my lunch. I quickly munched through my tuna sandwich and ready salted crisps, drank my glass of water and finally moved on to the pièce de résistance – the “Mega Bang Sour Mix”. I eagerly opened the packet and popped the first sweet on to my salivating tongue – imagine my disappointment when the expected sourness just didn’t appear! Maybe it was a duff one I thought as I reached for a second sweet, but no – all the sweets were just that – sweet! Not a hint of sour! I enclose the empty packet (the sweets were nice but just not sour) and hope that you will remedy the situation by replacing this packet of un-sour sour sweets with some really sour sweets or a small cash sum so I can purchase replacement candy.

My daughter and her friend know - both aged seven. Friend "it's because they're hot." Daughter "yes and dogs like meat so they're hot dogs." Obvious really. Oh and Pukka pies are the best - with mushy peas mmmm. WHy are hotdogs called hotdogs?

But this was just another dimension with coffee. Here is the template recipe (but I diverted in a few places): http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/231449 I only had prepared wasabi paste (sushi wasabi) and could not find black sesame at tesco so resprted to normal toasted sesame. I really wanted to taste the wasabi so I put in two generous teaspoons. It tastes much better than it looks (it looks a little like those over the top cakes you get at cookies and cream on kilburn highroad). If I did it again, then I would simplify it to one or two layers and I will write up my version then. Yes, a complete success *burp*
