I took delivery of Mandolin earlier on today, the slicey thing not the musical instrument, and I cannot imagine how I have got this far through life without one.

Geoff's recommendation

8 stars out of 9 - Get one.

Now that would be something, and it was why I could not give this Mandolin an elusive 9 stars out of 9 marking, the absence of music lost it a star.

buy a butchers glove. mandolin's are incredibly efficient at taking the end of your finger off.

And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show

Yeah, we had one but ended up giving it away as was in fear of losing fingertips every time we used it!

It cam with a safety glove. What a thrill, what a ride, a piece of kitchen equipment that came with more safety kit than the chainsaw I bought a while back.

Excellent.

Now you can make pressed pomme anna, the potato dish of kings. Happy to provide the recipe if you can be bothered to make it.

Mind the tips of your fingers.

And also condolences to uncle footers who this week lost his little finger in some machinery at work. We are now calling him stumpy.

Fingers, look after them.

P.S. Why are dogs 'destroyed' and not simply 'put down' in the eyes of the law?

We've got the other angle covered, as earlier in lockdown we took delivery of the musical version, not the slice your fingers off thing.

The magimix comes out if we can't be arsed to chop. Although I do have a big chopper as well; one of those large chef knives - highly recommended too.

Nope, it was her own dog and a simple misunderstanding involving a makeup sponge.

Given they both come with a glove, the main thing is not to get the mandolin mixed up with the chainsaw. The results could be interesting!

No, the chainsaw didn't come with a glove, it came with nothing.

Your advice is still good though.

Swansea, you must post a video of your mandolin playing efforts.

I suggest "Ipswich, Ipswich, Ipswich" to the tune of Amazing Grace.
