Jersey news -- drunk people get peckish...

I decided, for the first time EVER, to see if the Jersey Evening Post is online, in case it might provide some source data for the blog.
Well, it is, sort of, and, while checking out the site

this item caught my eye:

If you drink, don't cook
By Harry McRandle
IF you are drunk or tired, don't cook.

Guess what? Drunk people get the munchies and decide to use a 1950s-style deep fat fryer (have these people never heard of oven chips?) and then burn down their homes or set fire to the cat, or something....

It amused me for 2 reasons:

1) It's a classic local newspaper story.... page filler stuff.

2) The reporter is Harry McRandle, who didn't go the Vic College, but who I know of old and saw last summer at my brother's wedding. A great bloke, and NEVER to be seen without a drink in his hand. I must ask him if he has a penchant for freshly cut french fries at four in the morning next time I am leaning against him....
