![[challenge entry]](/images/board_posticon_c.gif "Challenge Entry: Fluffy The Penguin"){kind=small}
Alan Freeman was part of a duobut his partner died before BBC disc jockey fame blessed him. The penguin was nicknamed Arf, the sound he would constantly make when in the studio, but his real name was Fluffy. Freeman would always have to correct people, 'Not Arf!'.
Fluffy's contribution to radio is immeasurable and the successful DJ/ penguin partnership he pioneered still exists today. It's a little known fact that many famous 'voices' on BBC radio are actually fluffy penguins, most notably Comedy Dave from the Chris Moyles Show and Sally Traffic on Steve Wright in the Afternoon. From Wikipedia.

In other news:Thit Heo Keo
For two portions you will need:
Cupboard (or things you may already have):
garlic cloves, 2
vegetable oil (something like sunflower), a little for frying
Shopping list
diced pork shoulder, or pork shoulder steaks 500g
shallots, 2
whole star anise, 3
Chinese five-spice powder, ½ tablespoon
light soy sauce, 60ml
palm sugar, 50g (substitute soft dark brown sugar if you can’t get palm)
fish sauce, 2 tablespoons
fresh coriander leaves, a handful for garnish
spring onions, 2
basmati rice, to serve
Method:
How to
1. Preheat the oven to 140ºC/120ºC fan-assisted/gas 1.
2. If not already diced, cut the pork up into small cubes (2cm ones if possible); I find using kitchen scissors is the quickest way to do this.
3. Prep everything else: peel and chop the garlic and shallots, trim and chop the spring onions, rinse the coriander leaves and, if using, chop the palm sugar up into small pieces.
4. Heat a little vegetable oil in an ovenproof, lidded casserole dish and brown the pork a little at a time (if you throw it all in at once and crowd the pan it will steam rather than brown). Once all the pork is browned, take it out of the casserole and put to one side.
5. Put 180ml cold water into the casserole and stir to deglaze the surface of all the nice caramelised brown bits.
6. Return the pork to the casserole with the shallots, garlic, star anise, five-spice powder, light soy sauce, palm sugar and fish sauce. Stir to mix (if the liquid doesn’t come halfway up the meat add a little more water; I didn’t do this because I didn’t read the instruction…it was still very yummy and juicy).
7. Put the lid on the casserole and cook in the oven until the meat is tender (about 40 minutes in my case).
8. If you are having rice, cook it about 15 minutes before the end of the casserole’s cooking time.
9. Once the casserole is done, serve in bowls with plenty of juice and chopped spring onions and coriander sprinkled over the top.

yes, but the truth wasn't deemed appropriate.He used to be "Gormless Cunt" on the "Your Licence Fee Is Our Piss Show" but they renamed him "Comedy Dave" and the show "The Chris Moyles Show" as the BBC fatcats didn't think the public were ready for such daytime broadcasts. It's PC gone MAD.
