Toilet talk, sorry!
So we all know that boat loos smell right? Particularly the ones that aren't used very often. Why? Well its not the boys lack of directional control or not flushing properly but rather the algae in the sea water inlet pipe as it dies, this gives off sulphuric acid (smelly rotten egg gas smell) which causes the chrome to corrode on your taps as well.

Drop a slow dissolving chlorine tablet (like they use in spa baths) into the ...
First blog

Delicious, fragrant and the best thing is when this is fully cooked you can eat entire cloves of the stuff without the stinky breath!
Make sure your garlic bulb is really fresh, pop onto a square of tinfoil, drizzle with a little olive oil. Close the package and roast when you know the oven is on for a good 40 mins or so. Cool, ...
