Pulling a cracker at a wrapping

“FRIENDS” of Prince Andrew have been at it again this week,
R attempting to lay down smoke giving him cover from scrutiny over
those sex allegations. It’s anyone’s guess if these “friends” are
independent individuals or actually Prince Andrew himself, but
either they – or he – should learn to button it.
Earlier claims that a photo showing the Duke of York with his arm
around a 17-year-old girl was a fake were demolished by last week’s
Panorama special. Now “friends” say witnesses who saw him dancing
with her at Tramp nightclub are probably mistaken. Why? The tortuous
logic goes something like this. Andy, you see, was a frequent visitor to
Tramp at around that time. So yes, witnesses would have seen him there
– but they cannot be sure which female acquaintances he was with. For
example, he was photographed in Tramp 72 hours after it is alleged he
went there with Virginia Roberts Giuffre. Plenty of room for confusion?

pair of sparkly tights. I’m sure there’s a
rational explanation for all this but at the
moment I can’t think what it is. At least I
can explain the sparkly tights. I wore them to
a fancy dress party (it’s a long story) and
when I mentioned the trip to a friend, he said
he always wore tights on work trips to the
Arctic to stay warm.
And since he was in the SAS, do feel free
to question his masculinity. See you in A&E.
The tights don’t have to be sparkly by the
way. They were just the only ones Tesco had
in my size.
On the plane from Moscow to Ulan Bator,
Pete the strapping Kiwi sitting next to me,
was on his way to take part in the Mongol
100 Rat Race, in which competitors walked,
ran, skated or cycled across Lake Khövsgöl.
“Aha, same lake as we’ll be riding the
Enfields on. See you there,” I said as the pilot

It sounded like Klingon, I thought as I
emerged to meet François from Vintage
Rides, the French company which organises
this aptly named Frozen Ride.
Sadly, I didn’t meet my bag, which was to
spend the entire week in Moscow airport.
You know, the bag with all my cold weather
gear and four-season sleeping bag.
Thankfully, biker camaraderie being what
it is, the other riders came up with an open
face helmet, spare thermals and inner gloves,
a furry gilet and a balaclava.
We climbed into a minibus for 14 painful
hours on the potholed road to Moron,
through a bleak, rolling landscape.
By the time we finally got there late that
night, I was suitably moronic, having not
slept for 32 hours.
Next morning, we were introduced to the
bikes for an easy 60 miles on road to a
lakeside log cabin, where the mechanics
fitted studded tyres and we went down to the
annual three-day Khövsgöl Ice Festival.
Hundreds of locals tucked into barbecues,
admired ice sculptures, slid down ice slides,
skated to and fro, took horse-drawn sleigh
rides across the ice or practised sliding their

quaint, half-timbered houses housing a

NCAP’s occupancy test.
Impressive, but a good enough
reason to buy the car? Read on.
First, though, what exactly is the
CX-30? Mazda makes a CX-3 and
a CX-5 which are both SUVs so
where does something with a zero
in its name fit in? Between the two
is the straight answer but Mazda
already makes a car called a CX-4
but sells it only in China and
wanted to avoid confusion by
using the name for another car. HUMPS IN THE ROAD: The CX-30s wheelarch cladding gives it crossover styling while the leather interior is based on the Mazda3

Sherry syllabub trifle SERVES 6
FOR THE SYLLABUB:
Everyone loves a trifle. This pudding ★ 50ml sweet sherry
looks very posh, but it’s really just an or Marsala
assembly job. And think of the treat ★ 1 tbsp brandy
you have in store… (optional)
★ Zest of 1 lemon,
plus extra to garnish
★ 2 tbsp caster sugar
★ 400ml whipping cream
FOR THE TRIFLE:
★ 1 packet of trifle
sponges or fingers
★ 2-3 tbsp raspberry
jam
★ 100ml sweet sherry
or Marsala
★ 150g amaretti biscuits
★ 500g raspberries
★ 1 large pot of custard
★ 50g toasted flaked
almonds
1. First, start the syllabub.

Put the sweet sherry or
Marsala in a bowl with
the brandy (if using), the
lemon zest and caster
sugar. Stir until the sugar
has dissolved. Leave this
to stand for at least the
time it takes to assemble
the trifle, but for several
hours if you can.
2. To assemble the trifle,
first spread half the trifle
sponges or fingers with
the raspberry jam and
arrange them in the base
of a bowl. Pour over the
sherry and top with the
amaretti biscuits, followed
by the raspberries. Spoon
the custard over the
raspberries, then cover
and chill.
3. Now finish the syllabub.
Whip the cream until it
reaches the soft-peak
stage, then stir in the
sherry mixture and whisk
again to combine. Spoon
this over the trifle, then
sprinkle over the toasted
almonds and some extra
lemon zest.
