P AGE 23 Eli Kay Writer Every once in a while we all need to just put on our birthday suits and stay in bed for hours and hours, doing absolutely nothing. Or almost nothing. Here are a few things you can do indoors with minimum effort and maximum fun. TV SHOW TO WATCH: Ripper Street: If you are a fan of mystery, crime and drama with hints of wit and comedy, this show is the one for you! Set in 1889’s London, a few months after the last victim of Jack the Ripper, the Whitechapel police precinct is trying to solve murders and keep order in an era where change and evolution is just around the corner while the ghosts of a horrible past haunts every case. TV SHOW NOT TO WATCH Luxury Comedy: Following the quality and success of The Mighty Boosh, we all expected Noel Fielding’s solo project to be of equal quality but we were wrong. Set in a surreal and a bit psychedelic world, with no apparent story line, reason or logic, the skits are definitely original but not funny. NEUTRAL SHOW The IT Crowd: This is a neutral show because it is a show for everyone. It can suit every mood and can be watched in any time. A duo of nerdy, social misfits who work as IT techs in a company, welcome a new recruit in their team, a trendy woman who knows nothing about computers or Information Technology and would turn the whole department upside down. WHAT TO EAT: What would go great with a British theme and a cup of tea? A sweet snack of course. Take two slices of bread. Put butter on both, and orange marmalade or jelly on one of them. Then comes the tricky part. Chose one of your favourite chocolate bars (I would suggest a Twix) cut it in slices and place it on top of the marmalade. Put one slice of bread over the other and toast. The melted candy bar with the marmalade and butter will guarantee a sweet-tooth satisfaction. WHERE TO SURF: Did I just fuel your obsession for British stuff? Then go straight to www.britishstuff.org and find everything you need to know about everyday British items. Or maybe you can go to www. thingsbritish.co.uk or www.britishcornershop.co.uk and get to buy every little British thing you want, with worldwide delivery! Cheerio!
