He had to drink a revolting mixture of, among other things, cat food and chilli powder and alcohol. He was rewarded with membership and the right to wear a posh tie. Revolting, and quite barmy.Frances Garroodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614916006798375706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-4507057997624620902015-03-01T23:14:30.230+00:002015-03-01T23:14:30.230+00:00I can't bear to watch.

Gross. Perhaps if most people in countries where the average person consumes far more food than is actually good for him or her and passed it on to those who have so little food that they are dying of malnutrition the world might be a better place. Although those who overeat die early and so do those who are starving so, hey, it keeps the world population down a bit.
