I am a man of simple tastes who does not demand too much of life.

I don't do drugs, I don't get into punch ups, I don't sneer at people as I trudge down the street, I don't break into cars, burgle houses or mug old ladies.

According to the papers, culinary history has been made by Tesco who have launched a curry sandwich.

It is described as an 'innovation' which is to revolutionise the UK food industry.

Or perhaps I didn't, which kind of makes sense in the twilight world of life viewed through the bottom of a glass.

Being a regular drinker, and a bit of hypochondriac, I search out stories about the health giving properties of wine as keenly as Steve McClaren looks for articles saying he's a great coach.

As football fans can guess, I'm a lot more successful.

Wine - most notably red - has been linked with cures for everything from Alzheimer's to various cancers.
