This is quite a niche reference I’m asking about. A video was uploaded over 12 years ago to the cavetown YouTube channel called ‘Segue’, which is one of the oldest videos that still exists on the channel. In the video is Robin and a friend, sporting blue hair, as they hang around various outdoor areas of Cambridge in the UK. I’ve never seen the blue haired friend in any videos since then and Robin has never said anything about them. Does anyone know anything extra about this person?

Hi, I’m a 27-year-old British guy who currently lives in China, and I think it’s about time I get over my fears of the kitchen and start cooking like an adult. Having moved to China back in 2023, I found that things were cheap enough that I could order ready-to-eat food easily without it destroying my finances, but I think it makes me reliant on this way to live which is not smart and frankly, pretty immature for someone nearing 30. Occasionally I’ll see cooking videos online and they always amaze me to a point where I think “I wish I could make that” but then find I never progress in actually doing that.

Essentially, I want to finally start cooking, so I’m hoping people can help me with easy but interesting recipes to get me going - even better if they’re Chinese recipes as obtaining particular ingredients for Chinese dishes is easy for me! I want to do this for me, but I also want to impress my girlfriend with dishes I’ve cooked!

Thank you to anyone who can give me any advice, recipes and general help.
