I wonder how our Community Editor, Peta, feels about People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals taking her name in vain?
Great Entry. Can't fault it.

Um, confused. Why can't you Recommend it? I've lost the plot a bit, I think.

Ormy had to wait for the week to tick over - the new automated system prevents anything being recommended until 7 days have passed on the Peer Review thread. It's been recommended for inclusion now, although not officially passed.

I believe there's a limit on the number of entries a scout is allowed to recommend in a week, so presumably Whoami? has filled his/hers.

And because of that happy fact, this Entry is now on its way into the Edited Guide! Congratulations!

Bagpuss - the way scouting works is that everyone has 3 picks every four weeks, to be chosen in the week before they are due on the calendar. Mine are always with Bossel's on a Monday, with the next being due on 25th March. Hope that helps!

Whoami- remember: cake is a made-up drug.

It was a Brass Eye spoof about a new "drug" called Cake. Very, very funny - Chris Morris at his best.

Whoami, I remember reading that in the post, but I couldn't remember the numbers. I nearly said "three picks a week", but then decided that was clearly wrong.

On the subject of cake (well almost), there's a lovely verse from the sone 'Away with rum' (the Song of the Salvation Army) that goes;
We never eat biscuits, 'cost biscuits have yeast,
And too many biscuits turns a man into a beast.
Can you imagine the utter disgrace
Of a man lying in the gutter with crumbs in his face!
Well done!
