The Source Code Movie Review

The Source Code Movie Review

Jesus, I think I am about to attempt a movie review. This could turn out to be disastrous, but I will let you be the judge of that. Don’t you think most movie reviews are so over-complicated, and in some cases a little pretentious? Nobody seems to review movies for the normal people among us (similar to how terms & conditions are never readable for us non-lawyers).

Well, here is – possibly – a first. A stupid guy from Bristol reviews a movie. Specifically, The Source Code.

I’ll be honest, we (that’s my girlfriend and I) wanted to see Limitless but it’s now only showing in the Directors Hall in my local cinema, and I wasn’t willing to pay £15 a ticket or whatever it costs. Special celebrations, or payday are the only two occasions that warrant such an expensive movie viewing.

Anyway, The Source Code was our second choice. Mainly down to the good reviews it had received on RottenTomatoes.com (the ones I could decipher anyway!).

Jake Gyllenhaal plays the lead in this cross between Groundhog Day, Inception, and TV classic Quantum Leap. To be honest I’ve not watched many movies starring Gyllenhaal – off the top of my head Jarhead is the only previous experience I have of his career thus far. Regardless, the American puts in a decent enough performance, but not mind-blowing.

Gyllenhaal plays Colter Stevens, a US Army helicopter pilot. At the start of the movie he wakes up on a train despite his last memory putting him at the controls of his chopper in Afghanistan. A woman he doesn’t recognise is sitting opposite him, and talks to him as if she knows him – much to his confusion.

He goes to the toilet cubicle, only to catch a glimpse of himself in the mirror and noticing that he is not Colter Stevens, or at least does not have his face. After 8 minutes, the train he is travelling on blows up, however Stevens wakes up in a pod of some description.

After much confusion, he begins to talk to a woman called Goodwin through a monitor who explains that he needs to find the bomber of the train. Just as before, you will have 8 minutes…..

The premise of the movie is that scientists have formulated a method of taking someone else’s identity and reliving the last 8 minutes of that person’s life. A military unit is attempting to use this discovery to prevent terrorist attacks.

A train has been bombed in Chicago, but intelligence suggests there are further attacks to come – which must be prevented. Using the Source Code (the name given to this far-fetched scientific discovery), Stevens is sent back to relive the last 8 minutes of one of the train passenger’s life, and unravel the mystery to prevent any more attacks.

Complications arise when Stevens begins to fall for the woman sat opposite him on the train (played by Michelle Monaghan). Will he find the bomb and who planted it? You will have to go and watch to find that one out…

Many reviewers have slated the ending, but personally I liked it. Yes, there is a twist, and does leave you a little confused for a while. But, I found it imaginative and in keeping with the rest of the movie.

As a whole, I enjoyed The Source Code. It was fast-paced, and you do find yourself trying to work out who the bomber is – and what the hell is happening to Stevens, and why he appears to be trapped in a pod with no exit. The movie keeps you guessing, and requires enough ‘thinking’ or ‘analysing’ to demand concentration. I don’t doubt that there will be some viewers who do not get the plot, and walk out the screening scratching their head in bewilderment.

My rating 7.5/10

Well, there it is, my first ever movie review…. Go on, be honest – how s**t was it? If it was that bad, watch the trailer instead;

Apple MacBook Pro (2011)

Apple MacBook Pro (2011)

The New MacBook ProAs little as 18 months ago, I was anti-Apple. Not in the sense that I hated the company, just that I found their products to be overpriced for what they are. Fast forward to the present day, and I now own a iPhone 3GS, iPad, and a brand spanking new MacBook Pro.

So, why the change of heart….

I always knew Macs were good. Even though I could never understand how to work my sister’s due to being a Windows user since Information Technology lessons at school introduced me to the world of computing. Coming from a poor family, I’d never had access to a computer before, so this was my first ever experience.

Just seeing how quickly my sister’s computer started compared to my middle-of-the-range but still fairly new laptop made me very envious. I – being a man – have always loved gadgets, and I was starting to get very jealous of that MacBook.

However, at that time I still refused to even look at the possibility of investing in one. I remember saying;

But why would you choose to pay an extra £600 just to get a computer that ran a bit faster, and looked a bit sexier?

I fully believed that my £400 laptop could do everything her MacBook could do (even if a little slower).

The tide started to turn when I bought myself a iPod Touch a few years ago. I was amazed at how amazing this little gadget was – especially after owning a £30 cheap Mp3 player previous to this. I used it all the time for checking email, and surfing the net when I couldn’t be bothered to wait for my increasingly sluggish Windows machine to boot up.

It was spring 2010 when I realised that an iPhone would be perfect for me. All the features of an iPod Touch, but I could also use it to check email etc when out and about. The fact it was a phone as well was – of course – an added bonus. My contract was up for renewal, and so I got the 3GS (about a month or two before the iPhone 4 was announced!).

Next came the iPad. When the Apple tablet was announced I couldn’t see a need for one. It remained this way for almost 6 months until I ‘played’ with one in the Apple Store. From that moment I knew I wanted one…. not needed one, just wanted one!

After slowly getting my girlfriend to agree that it was a good idea to spend £500 on one, I walked to the Apple Store and left 10 minutes later with one under my arm.

Finally, my new MacBook Pro was purchased about 7 weeks ago. I had recently sold some shares and had the money sitting in my bank, where it was due to stay. But, I always had a little nagging thought in my head that I wanted a computer that WORKED.

The day I decided to get one, was the day my girlfriend actually suggested I go and buy one. Once I’d recovered from the shock of those words coming out of her mouth I started reading everything I could on the performance of a machine that was going to cost me £1000.

Thankfully, I waited long enough to get my hands on the updated 2011 version. Three days after it’s release, I was in the Apple Store to spend £1000.

I have waited this long to post my review of this computer as I believe ANY computer works pretty fast out of the box, and so thought I would see how it performs after a couple of months of use. Trust me when I say this…. it is the best one thousand pounds I have ever spent.

For starters, it starts up really fast. To prove this I recorded a little video that shows it takes less than a minute from pressing the ‘on’ button, to having the web browser open and ready for use. If you are interested, here is that video;

I am fed up with Microsoft Windows. In my spare time I am an Internet Marketer… meaning I make money on the Internet. Using Windows cost me countless hours attempting to get my 2 year old computer to work, and time – as the old proverb goes – is money.

It was time I had a computer that allowed me to be more productive and waste less time waiting for Windows to respond to a simple command to open an application.

With my new MacBook Pro, I now have that. It loads fast, it opens applications fast, and it doesn’t give up on me when I ask it to do more than one thing. In simple terms, it WORKS. It’s for that reason that when anybody says to me;

How can you justify spending that much money on a computer?

I can reply truthfully;

Because it does what it’s supposed to do.

For anyone that is interested, I have the least powerful MacBook Pro model. It has a 13″ screen, 2.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor with 3MB shared L3 cache (I’m not sure what all that means though!), and a 320GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard drive.

This machine is impressive, and I would definitely encourage anyone looking to be more productive to invest in one. It could be your best investment yet…..

The Royal Wedding 2011…Sorry, I Don’t Care!

The Royal Wedding 2011…Sorry, I Don’t Care!

Royal Wedding, Friday April 2011. Coverage starts from 8am on BBC One.

The Royal WeddingI can’t even turn on the TV at the moment without seeing something related to the imminent royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, and I’m starting to wonder if I am the only one who doesn’t give a rat’s arse about it?

To me it’s just two strangers getting hooked, and I’m not even a big fan of weddings anyway, so it’s not something that is of interest in the slightest. But, the rest of the nation seems to be going mad for it. I’ve seen posters for royal wedding lunches, street parties, and all sorts.

The wedding will be shown live on TV, but just in case we can’t make it to a television set, YouTube are going to broadcast it live for all to see. That should tell me that this is an important event not to be missed…. but yet I’m still not bothered.

I will be working anyway, so wouldn’t be able to sit and watch it even if I wanted to. Maybe I should shut the f**k up and stop complaining then?!

After speaking to a work colleague about my lack of interest, she said;

But don’t you think it’s nice that something good is happening for once, rather than all the bad news we get all the time.

She is missing my point. I’m sure it’s lovely for William and Kate, and their respective families. I for one wish them all the happiness in the world. But, thousands of couples get married every year (in fact these couples are getting married the very same day!), so why should I care more about a royal wedding than a ‘civilian’ one? Either way, they are strangers to me…

Maybe it’s just me being miserable. If so, please feel free to tell me to cheer up…. or at least explain to me why I should give a damn about it?!

Stokes Croft (Bristol) Riot – 21/22 April 2011

Stokes Croft (Bristol) Riot – 21/22 April 2011

For those of you that have not seen the news on this, on Thursday night (21st April 2011) a riot took place on the streets of Bristol in the Stokes Croft area.

The trouble came as a result of a police raid (or eviction in their terms) of squatters in the famous ‘Telepathic Heights’. The police have said that they received intelligence of a plan to petrol bomb the new – and highly opposed – Tesco store opposite the building, and that members of the public had seen petrol bombs being taken into the graffiti adorned house.

So, here is my opinion on the events of Thursday night – Friday morning. As I said, just my opinion…. We are all entitled to one, and I refuse to be attacked for sharing mine. I do welcome constructive criticism, and lively discussion though….

Many have questioned why the police decided to ‘raid’ the property on a busy Friday night at the start of a bank holiday weekend when the area was full of alcohol fueled partygoers, and I have to say I agree. This already – to the average man on the street – seems like a recipe for disaster.

If the police did fully believe that an attack on the Tesco store was imminent, then I understand that action needed to be taken to protect the lives of innocent people in the area. BUT, and it’s a big but, why did they have to show such force to arrest 4 people? There are reports of a lot of riot vans (possibly up to 160 police in riot gear) arriving, and shutting off the busy Cheltenham Road before entering Telepathic Heights.

This is obviously going to attract attention in such a busy area. People are definitely going to want to find out what is happening on their doorstep, and this is exactly what happened according to reports.

Up to 200-300 people gradually turned up, the majority of which were leaving pubs and clubs eager to find out what all the commotion was about.

The police reportedly then formed a line of defense restricting these people from approaching Telepathic Heights. At this point people were still merely trying to find out what was happening.

Somehow, and it’s unclear at this time how it happened, the mood started turning more sour. Bricks and bottles were being thrown at the police, and they armed themselves with full riot gear – however, not necessarily in that order. This is some information that desperately needs to be cleared up. If the police armed themselves BEFORE any trouble, then there needs to be someone fired for making that decision.

If it was the case that items were thrown first, then I understand that the police needed to protect themselves. However, in my opinion, they still almost asked for this situation by racing into town looking like they were ready for battle.

Stokes Croft was already a very tense area after the Tesco store that was unwanted opened a week or so ago.

I am not anti-Tesco. I shop there so I couldn’t possibly say that I am. But, I support the residents of Stokes Croft that have fought tirelessly for two years to prevent the store from opening. Unfortunately, we live in an era where big businesses – and more specifically money – rule. We as civilians appear to no longer have a say in what happens in our towns and cities. Councillors desperately attempt to ‘pretend’ we can have our say, but ultimately they will make their own decision – and that decision will be based on money.

I don’t live in Stokes Croft, but it is about a 5 minute walk away. It is an amazing, diverse, and alternative area of Bristol. It almost feels like you are not in Bristol anymore when you walk through it. It is a wonderful place, with a quirky atmosphere that can only be a good thing.

But, Tesco and the council have continued in their quest to open the 33rd store in the Bristol area.

According to reports, 93% of residents opposed the opening…. But – and this is a difficult one – the store has been busy since it opened. So, where are these shoppers coming from if such a high percentage were opposed? Please can someone answer that one for me?

Anyway, as the night progressed the police – as they did in London recently during the students protest(s) – became very heavy-handed. Please note, that I did not see it with my own eyes as I was lying in bed being kept awake by the police helicopter over my house for 6 hours!

I have read many firsthand accounts on Twitter, and blogs. In fact, even Labour MP Kerry McCarthy has said the way police reacted was uncalled for as she got shoved out of the way for no reason.

I understand that it must be difficult being a police officer in this situation. You have a job to do, and are following orders from your superiors. A small minority are throwing objects at you (apparently a breeze block was thrown from a roof at one point, which I find completely unacceptable. Police officers have families too, and this action could have killed someone).

In this scenario, adrenaline will take over, it’s a natural human reaction when you are under threat. But, your reaction still needs to be controlled, and hitting and pushing innocent bystanders is unjust and should be fully investigated.

On the other hand, any person who threw anything at the police, or caused damage to other people’s possessions, should be ashamed of themselves. Simple as that. I completely condemn any violent acts – whether it’s a police officer or a civilian.

I believe that a riot that makes the news like this does nothing to win support, and therefore a few mindless idiots have stained the reputation of the area. However, I also believe that the police have a lot to answer for.

One more important point. In an interview with the BBC, Assistant Chief Constable Rod Hansen said something along the lines of;

‘If the group moved away after we had made the arrests, then the incident would not have escalated to such a degree’

Huh? Seriously?! What about if – maybe – the police had moved out after they had made the arrests they were looking for? Maybe 160 officers in riot gear on the streets was what incited the group to escalate the situation…

Either way, there needs to be serious and thorough investigation into the actions of the police and how they handled the situation as it developed. I for one, do not believe that the majority of people there that night were looking for trouble. In fact, I have seen many videos on YouTube that show various people pleading with police to let them through to allow them to get home………….

What are your thoughts on the events? Particularly interested to hear the opinions of those that were in the thick of it.

Google Chrome Internet Browser

Google Chrome Internet Browser

Google ChromeI own another – more popular – site on the fear of flying. The site gets an average of 1000 visitors a day, and my stats program allows me to see where in the world my visitors come from, along with information such as what Internet browser they are using.

That may seem like a pointless bit of information, but it relates to why I’m posting this review.

My stats show that a huge percentage of Internet users are still using Internet Explorer 6 to browse the Internet.

So what I hear you say….

Internet Explorer 6 is outdated, and insecure. In this day in age, it’s more important than ever that we all protect our data. Using such an insecure web browser is just asking for trouble. The following is taken from the Wikipedia page for the browser;

This version of Internet Explorer is widely derided for its security issues and lack of support for modern web standards, making frequent appearances in “worst tech products of all time” lists, with some publications labeling it as the “least secure software on the planet.”[2]

Because a substantial percentage of the web audience still uses the outdated browser, campaigns have been established to encourage users to upgrade to newer versions of Internet Explorer or switch to different browsers. Some websites have dropped support for IE6 entirely, most notable of which is Google dropping support in some of its services.[3][4]

Over nine years after its release, it continues to receive patches for security vulnerabilities nearly every month.

If you are using this browser, you really need to update asap. All Internet browsers are free of charge, and you DO have a choice.

Microsoft have always had the largest market share with it’s Internet Explorer browser. But that doesn’t mean it’s the best. The ONLY reason they are top of the table is because the browser is already installed on every single Windows PC. The majority of computer users are not even aware that there is an alternative, and they presume this is the only way to get access to the Internet.

In truth, Internet Explorer is slow, buggy, and sometimes insecure. I haven’t used any version of the Microsoft browser for many years now (apart from on work computers where I – unfortunately – do not have a choice), and I don’t plan on doing so in the future.

So what are your alternatives;

There are many browsers to choose from, but the biggest are Firefox, Safari (Apple), and Google Chrome (my personal favourite).

All of these are faster and more secure than even the newest version of Microsoft Internet Explorer. If your Internet is running slow, it’s likely to be caused by a slow browser…… Do yourself a favour, and install a faster browser TODAY.

Download Google Chrome at http://www.google.com/chrome. Install it and set it as your default bowser. Give it a week or so to get used to the slightly different browser, and then I dare you to tell me you haven’t noticed an improvement in your Internet performance.

ios 4.3 Causing iPhone Battery Drain?

ios 4.3 Causing iPhone Battery Drain?

ios 4.3 logoIn the last week or so my girlfriend’s iPhone 4 has suddenly started suffering from a very short battery life. A fully charged battery was suddenly lasting only 6-7 hrs with moderate usage (Facebook usage and a few calls).

To be honest, I thought she was making it up and was just simply using her phone more than previously. But, after constant nagging I started to research the problem. It seems she was right, and it is a legitimate complaint after all. The Apple support forum has a thread devoted to the same problem, and it’s a very active one – meaning (of course) that there are plenty of people with the same complaint. Many people’s iPhone batteries are not lasting long since the ios 4.3 update.

So, if your iPhone 4 battery is now draining too fast, here are some of the possible solutions which may (or may not) work for you;

Check Your Software is Updated

Not long after ios 4.3 was released, 4.3.1 was available. Plug your iPhone into iTunes and check the software is up to date. If it needs updating, do it. This may fix your problem.

Reboot Your Device

More often than not, problems are sorted by rebooting your iPhone. Do this by holding down the home button, and the on/off button simultaneously for about 10 seconds (until the screen goes black). Your phone should then reboot itself and this may solve your problem.

Mail Accounts

Go to ‘Settings —> Mail, Contacts, Calendars’ and scroll down to ‘Fetch New Data’. Go into this menu and ensure ‘Push’ is ‘Off’, and ‘Fetch’ is set to ‘Manually’.

This could also fix your problem.

Sign Out of iTunes Store Account

Other users have suggested that there is a bug with the iTunes store, and if you sign out of it your problem may be fixed.

Go to ‘Settings —> Store’. Click on your Apple ID and then select ‘Sign Out’.

Try these options one-by-one and see if they make a difference to your battery life. I will add more fixes as I see them. Alternatively, you can read the Apple Support Forum Thread.

Update: After experimenting with my girlfriend’s iPhone 4 I think I’ve sorted it by signing out of iTunes store account (4th option above). This is slightly annoying as now every time she wants to download anything from iTunes directly to phone, she will have to log in and then remember to sign out from the account again afterwards.

Hopefully Apple will provide a fix for this in the near future…..

Fake Tans Reviewed…. Kind Of

Fake Tans Reviewed…. Kind Of

fake Tanning is NOT SexyOk, the title of this post may be a little deceiving if you are actually looking for reviews of certain brands of fake tans. It’s time to confess, I am completely against fake tans. I would actually go as far to say I bloody hate them – my girlfriend will confirm this as I am constantly telling her to stop getting spray tans!

I am convinced that girls (mainly) get spray tans thinking that men prefer them looking bronzed, or they just think it looks nice. But, every guy I have spoken to appears to agree with me, it looks shit. Don’t get me wrong, a nice natural tan looks good and gives the impression that you are healthy.

BUT, a fake tan ALWAYS looks fake (however expensive it is), so why bother? There is no product out there that gives you a tan that looks remotely real so please stop competing with your female friends and try natural beauty for a while. Trust me, it looks much nicer…..

Society seems to suggest that being tanned is essential to look beautiful. Complete bullshit I’m afraid to tell you. It has got to stop.

If I was important enough that people actually listened to me I would start a anti-fake tan campaign. Unfortunately, me and the three or four people that may read this article are going to be ignored.

Every night out I hear the same thing…. I have to go and get a spray tan. WHY?! Because every other girl on said night will also have one and you couldn’t possibly be the odd one out – looking all pasty in the corner. If you did have the guts to stop being a sheep and tried standing out from the – orange, biscuit smelling – crowd you would look a million dollars compared to your ‘cheap’ looking companions. Harsh…. but true.

Am I on my own here? Does anyone actually like fake tans? Is it a good thing to have to clean the bedsheets every time you have one? Do you think it turns men on to lie in bed with a biscuit (that you are not allowed to touch anyway in case you make the tan patchy!).

Men…. do you like spray tans, or any other form of fake tanning? Does it do anything for you? Please humour me, I’m intrigued to find out what your views are.

SkyView iPhone App Review

SkyView iPhone App Review

Great, just as I was thinking I should really do a negative review of something (just in case people start to think someone is paying me to say all these positive things about their products…), I find something else that I really like and have to share with you.

SkyView iPhone App ReviewThis time around, it’s an iPhone app by the name of SkyView. See dramatic screenshot to the left!

What the hell is SkyView I hear you ask? It’s another augmented reality app that uses your iPhone’s camera to show what’s around you. In this particular app, you can see what’s above you.

As the name suggests, it allows you to view the sky…. or more specifically, the stars, planets, satellites and whatever else is floating around in that huge galaxy of ours. It costs just 59p so I downloaded it approximately 20 minutes ago just to have a go, as it was getting great reviews.

I’m glad I did, as I’ve just had a very fun, but very educational 20 minutes. I’ve never really been interested in our solar system – as my school science reports I stumbled upon the other day confirm – but it’s completely fascinating to see what’s up there.

From the screenshot you can see that I was pointing my phone at Saturn. The orange line shows the path it has taken, and it’s future route across the horizon.

Unfortunately, I could not actually see the planet with the naked eye, but it was strangely compelling to know it was there nonetheless. I did test the app with the location of the moon (that was visible without the app – if that makes sense), and it got it spot on, so I have no reason not to trust the accuracy of the SkyView iPhone App.

The only negative – and it’s not the app’s fault – is it uses the iPhone’s compass (and GPS). As you may be aware, there is often interference with the compass, and your phone asks you kindly to move your phone around in a figure of 8 to recalibrate. I had to do this on numerous occasions whilst using SkyView. In the privacy of my own home this is ok, but I may start to look a little odd if doing it out on the street. To be honest though, I guess I’d look crazy enough pointing my phone at the sky in the first place (like one of those mad people you see moving their phone slightly closer to the satellite in order to get a better phone signal – come on, you know you’ve seen this happen….).

To download the app, click here now. Compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod touch (4th generation), iPad 2 Wi-Fi and iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G. Requires iOS 4.1 or later.

Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power Razor Review

Gillette Fusion ProGlide Power Razor Review

Gillette – The best a Man Can Get.

The company’s slogan has never been more true after the introduction of their latest shaver, the ProGlide. I am not often blown away by a wet shaver, as most are never as good as they claim to be.

I – like so many others – have very sensitive skin, and my face hates having strips of metal (i.e. a shaver!) rubbed across it. I’ve always been a Gillette fan though, as they have always proved to perform better than anything else I have tried – see my review of the KOS Azor Razor for example.

About a month ago I was drawn in by a fancy advert, and my trust in the Gillette brand, and popped out to Boots to buy a brand new ProGlide Razor and couldn’t wait to try it….. I lead a very sheltered life evidently.

WOW….. It was damn impressive to say the least.

Usually I’ve found Gillette updates to their razors to be pretty much the same as before, but a different colour. This time though, I was almost blown away. The new blades provide an incredibly smooth shave. Here is what the company website says about their new product;

The Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ Power Razor is Gillette’s most advanced blade ever. Thinner, finer blades* with a low-resistance coating glide effortlessly through hair for less tug and pull, providing incredible comfort, even if you shave every day.

I have to agree – for once – with this. The blades really do effortlessly glide across the face, reaching every contour. Plus, the new precision trimmer (always one of my favourite features of previous models) is improved dramatically.

The redesigned precision trimmer now features an improved blade and anti-clogging rinse slots. Ideal for shaving in tricky places like under the nose.

Overall, very impressed with the Fusion ProGlide Power. It outperforms everything else I’ve ever tried – including previous Gillette razors. It does appear to be more expensive to buy replacement blades, but through personal experience they do appear to be lasting a lot longer than previous blades, so probably justifies the extra cost for that reason.

Let me know your thoughts and experiences with this razor below…..

Andrex Shea Butter Toilet Tissue

Andrex Shea Butter Toilet Tissue

Andrex Shea Butter

Well, it’s been a long time since I reviewed anything. My excuse is being far too busy with other projects. But, I’m back, and am making a commitment to review anything and everything I can….

This post is a perfect example of this, as I’m going to review toilet tissue! I’m not sure how I can make this post longer than a few paragraphs (how much is there to say about toilet roll?!), but I’m going ahead nonetheless.

I will never use cheap toilet tissue… Not again anyway. You know the type, supermarket economy stuff that is not much more comfortable than wiping your bum with industrial sandpaper. Ever since the day I decided to give it a go (after all – how different can toilet tissue really be?) I have been in search for the world’s most ‘comfortable’ bog roll.

I think I’ve found it….

Tesco arrived with my monthly shopping yesterday – which was nice of them – and my order included Andrex Shea Butter toilet tissues (9 rolls of, if you’re interested). Andrex promise the ‘feel of luxury’ so I couldn’t wait to try it.

Unfortunately, nature made me wait almost 24 hours before I got to use it for the first time. Well let me tell you, it was worth the wait. My bum feels moisturised, and cleaned to perfection.

If you care about your bum, invest in this. Take my word for it, you will not regret it. It’s not just the soft feel either, it also has a slight scent to it that increases it’s value.

Have a look at the Andrex Shea Butter website for more information. You’ll find it’s available in all good supermarkets. Please do let me know how you get on – not too graphically though.
