Entertainment For Lively Minds
At last - my very own Word claim to fame!
Posted by Lando Cakes on 9 November 2009 - 10:54pm.
Just started reading this issue and have been struck by the sudden realisation that...I have been interviewed by Kate Mossman's dad.
Top that pop-pickers.
Good guy too.

can you explain that Embraman?
You need to read the new issue
very carefully :-)
Do you work
in the field of potatoes?
He ploughs his own furrow,
I think.
When I heard Embraman worked in the chip industry
I assumed he meant Intel.
Running gags
Hoe, hoe, hoe - very witty...
Horse laughter
from me.
Enough of this waffle
Repositioning proposal
Potato Review is certainly a descriptive title for a magazine that specialises in reviewing potatoes, but we feel it may lack the immediacy required to attract the non-committed.
The title should be short and snappy, yet intriguing, promising more within. It should maintain all the core values of potatoness while taking it one step further into the new millennium....
Proposed rebranding: iSpud Pro
Not sexy enough
It might bring in the geek demographic, but it'll never appeal to the kids.
I propose Ministry of Spud.
Or even
NuSpud. (I do think an internal cap is required to zing it up a bit.)
An alternative, of course, would be to go in completely the other direction, with a retro feel: The Tatty Times
The Tatyler?
The New Spudsman?
Shoots 'n' Roots?
.
To give it that Heat magazine sizzle
it has to be “Hot Potato!”, strapline “Spuds-U-Like (and those you don’t!!!)”
"Now That's What I Call Spuds!"
For the youth vote...
I've always thought that 'king Edward might have the necessary edge.
And for those of more racy, yet discrete, tastes, there's always the subtle Kerr's Pink.
Potato Review
It's certainly got appeal!
The "eyes" have it, I'll wager...
I wonder if Potato Review do jackets
amongst their merch range?
So, Kate’s dad’s in the reviewing game too
She’s a chip off the old block.
A musical connection
Mossman snr played the tuber for vivaldi*
*look it up. I did.
How many potato songs can you name?
Couch Potato
Hot Potato
Big Potato
The Monster Mash
Mashed Potato Time
Do The Mashed Potatoes
Bud The Spud
Great Big Baked Potato
This is really sad, isn't it?
No Jacket Required
Being Boiled?
Wedge of Heaven
Peel around the Fountain
or
Starch! by the Jam
Bette Davis' Fries?
Down in the tuber station at midnight?
New Jersey (Royals)
by Bon Jovi.
The Hollies - King Edwards in Reverse.
Pink Floyd
Maris Piper at the Gates of Dawn.
UB40 - King Edward
U2 - Desiree
Anything by Anya.
Anything by Cyprus Hill.
Soulwaxy
David Bowie's 'You Little Golden Wonder'
There are also potato varieties called SAXON and LULU, which makes me want to shout.
"Diggin' My Potatoes" by Leadbelly
The brilliant Lonnie Donegan also did a version for his album "Puttin' On The Style" in 1978 with (I believe) Brian May on lead guitar.
Excellent
A good Record - but you may prefer something more Up-to-date (that's enough potato varieties Ed.)
A very good run of potato puns all round - well done all.

...and Elton on piano.
