I got the poison, I got the remedy, I got the pulsating rhythmical remedy. No such certainties from Heston Blumenthal unfortunately, with mystery continuing to surround the food scare that led to the closure of the Fat Duck last month.
But good news finally arrived for Heston yesterday, as he was given the green light to re-open the three-Michelin-starred restaurant in Bray.
And while it has been an uncomfortable few weeks for Heston, the chef has been praised for the way he has handled the situation.
Changes in Gordon Ramsay's business empire continued afoot as the chef handed back control of his Michelin-starred restaurant at the London West Hollywood hotel in Los Angeles to the property's owner LXR Luxury Resorts.
Rejoice! The restaurant eating public are a generous bunch, according to the owner of Little Bay in Farringdon, London, who has been trialling a "pay as much as you want" scheme. Peter Ilic revealed that diners have been paying, on average, 30% more than the menu rate.

There was also a sighting of that rare breed - a multi-million pound hotel transaction, as the £22.8m deal to sell the Le Meridien Beach Plaza Hotel in Monaco was announced at the conference.
Back in the UK, Hilton announced the debut of its deluxe Waldorf Astoria Collection brand on these shores, with the Bentley Hotel in London.

Good news for Marriott, Revolution owner Inventive Leisure and hotel and holiday park operator Bourne Leisure, who were all recognised as Best Companies to Work For in the annual Sunday Times list.
Big news on the contract catering front, as Caterersearch exclusively revealed that supermarket giant Sainsbury's has overhauled its £40m-plus staff catering operation, splitting the contracts into four regions.
There was also news of a potential boost for catering staff in Glasgow, as the city council unveiled plans for a Glasgow Living Wage of £7 per hour.
Trade bodies are not usually the source of intrigue, but there was genuine surprise this week when the British Beer & Pub Association announced the immediate departure of chief executive Rob Hayward just days before he was due to meet the Chancellor to discuss beer duty.
