My son is turning 10 in a couple months and i need to sort out what i'm doing before the end of term so i can deliver out the invites. Any good ideas out there? We might do the bowling thing, but i was hoping to make it a bit more special than that...

Probably never went near an orange but for me it was my childhood brand of choice - that and Fab lollies!

Any other 80's brands you liked?

Further to a recent post I went and checked up some facts.
Pure extra virgin olive oil is no more carcinogenic than any other oil, the key is not to overheat it. Here in Italy people use light sunflower or corn oils to fry, keeping the extra virgin for drizzles. The problem is with things like pizza and focaccia that contain low grade oils and are baked at high temperatures. Another problem is with the dubious quality of oil. What passes off as virgin olive oil in Britain is very often low grade oil mixed with some vrigin oil.
Real extra virgin fresh from the press is opaque and greenish-yellow with a very strong and bitter taste- use sparingly (this is how my girlfriend's dad makes it in his olive groves in Puglia!!!). He told me that most commercial olive oil is lampante (lit. lamp oil) unfit for anything!!!! Spanish olive oil was banned a couple of years ago for containing benzinate hydrocarbons. Anyway, most Italians will tell you not to fry with oil because of these risks...!

Are like bugs of the sea? Why do people get grossed out by the thought of eating bugs but they would eat these things? What's the difference between eating a shrimp and eating a grasshopper really?
