In the news - How to cook an egg and get it all over your face!


Oh dear, how embarrassing. Norwich director Delia Smith and celebrity chef, fresh from knocking up a few eggs for breakfast in the morning, decided to grab the Public Address system at Carrow Road during the half time break of the crucial relegation battle with Manchester City on Monday night and issue a passionate plea.

She clearly felt that her fellow Canaries were not getting behind their team enough and our Delia screeched in her best Norfolk accent "This is a message for possibly the best supporters in the world. We need a 12th man. Where are you? Where are you?"

Travelling Man City fans and of course the whole of Suffolk found the whole episode hilarious and in a BBC poll 65% of those who responded found Delia's speech "excruciating", while 27% said it was it "funny". A minority of 8% viewed her attempt at motivation as "inspiring".

Is it time that women stayed at home in the kitchen and let the men go to the football?
