I agree with you Cal - I will attempt to train her in the more subtle ways of dress and manner.... Shouldn't take more than a year or two. Of course if SWMBO catches me at it - well - it's been nice knowing you....

Before I realize it, they have moved on to talking about another product that Australians eat. The host says its terrible and disgusting. They call it vegemite I just about wrecked I was laughing so hard.

I've had them both, they're vile.

Well this one is back in Ecosse! France is over...in fact the only thing which was not good was my foot! And I still suffer....bl..dy gout.

And I brought back a few cases of decent Bordeaux and Burgandy to see me through the winter.....in continued pink elephant pain!

That dirty b...h which Thomas kindly [] introduced me to not only chews her own nails, but has severely shortened mine too! And THEN she started on .......oh well!. The second introduction [ to British Royalty!] keeps my hopes afloat and my thoughts a quiver.

I'd recommend the pork barbecue.

Admittedly that sounds good.

There has been a lot of comment on the John Curl thread on GM food - mostly giving a rather pessimistic view of the effects on the human life support system. I do not normally read about such matters but, given the choice I would avoid food which features GM modified products in its production chain. All that worries me is that in some areas such choice is being reduced so rapidly that a time is close to hand when choice will no longer be available. It strikes me that nowhere near enough independent research has been carried out prior to large scale introduction of such foodstuffs....and that includes animal foodstuffs!

Yet that pig BBQ sounds mouthwatering!
