View Larger I lost but he was graded 50 points above me so I’m not sure it’ll have much impact on my grading.

The simplest and most basic of all pasta suppers, spaghettini aglio e olio is made from ingredients most of us have in the cupboard. It’s an emergency supper that is quick, cheap and tasty.

Incidentally, if you do need to send a parcel to the Olympic Park during the month of the Games, including the Westfield shopping centre, the only acceptable means of delivery – and I use the word in its correct sense – is via UPS, the “official logistics and express delivery supporter” of the London Games. Parcels sent via other carriers will incur a £25 surcharge for UPS to take them the last mile of their journey, so athletes expecting medicine or care packages of any sort are advised to bring plenty of cash. With striking insouciance, UPS is celebrating this fact with the slogan Go The Extra Mile. This column would probably have gone with Allow Us To Deliver A Facepalm, but let’s congratulate UPS on their appealingly aggressive patrolling of the Olympic exclusion zone.

Chinese media described Major Liu Yang, from Henan, as a “hero pilot” who achieved a successful emergency landing after a dramatic birdstrike incident spattered the windshield of her plane with blood.
