Portugal. They've been well behaved at UEFA and Champions League matches
ever since they've been allowed back in.

Hey - the Poms won some silverware down here as well! Sincere congrats - and Collingwood and Plunkett looked awesome. Shame you lads peaked in the final week of a 3 month tour. Hopefully that's exactly the slap in the face we needed before we all head to the Carribbean... :-) See you there! |
Freddie to do all the work with the ball himself. It seems we don't have
bad players, just very bad form. You guys however... I don't know what
happened, but we had you on the ropes at 80something for 5, and but for
the threat of rain bringing on the spinners to get through to 20 overs,
and then the rain itself, we could've had you all skittled out for less
than 130! It may not be the Ashes but they did themselves proud in the
end

Particularly impressive to fix an oxymoron and a tautology into 3 words. http://www.freepatentsonline.com/4143175.html Read 'em and weep. Mind you... http://www.shipbrook.com/jeff/potted.html is one of the scariest pages on t'internet. |
I, not knowing, nor caring, what they were, decided to order
Anduoillettes, which was supposed to be a speciality and a delicacy,
in a fairly fancy restaurant.
Delicacy, my arse...

I heard him on the radio a month or so ago and he had a go at American cheese then too. Do they really ask you if you want cheese with everything? Sometimes they don't even ask. Generic American cheese comes in two colours - white and yellow - and one flavour - none. There's also Monterey Jack which tastes like sweaty supermarket processed cheddar. I have American ex who *loved* evil processed cheees. Still, it meant more Stinking Bishop for me. pete |
that had hostesses, we were drinking whisky and eating various Japanese
snacks. At some point during the evening some cheese snacks arrived at
the table, they were pieces of processed cheese with I think (it was a
long time ago and I was quite drunk)cucumber. My Japanese hosts seemed
to really enjoy these bits of artificial cheese stuff and I was too
polite to turn it down.

Actually, chitterlings (orshould I say chitlin's if we're being truly Deep South) aren't seen as a
delicacy in the States

Rural Southerners, rednecks, know that the “upper classes” despise them. For their entire lives they have been ridiculed, the subject of viscous jokes, etc., and they know it. They also resent it. |

They're high mileage, so more likely 5W20.

The episodes with Clarkson in a fast car dashing across the continent with the other two racing him in trains and planes springs to mind. How do the camera crew who film Clarkson blasting past at 150 mph get there? |

They made the point during the piece May did on the 250mph run in the Veyron that, although Clarkson went on and on about how fast it goes, in the plane vs. Veyron race he was forced to stick to the speed limits by the fact he was on public roads. That rings true; Clarkson has a clean driving license and if he were caught speeding whilst filming for TG, the BBC would have the excuse to drop it that they so desperately seem to want. |
speeding, during the race to the ski resort.
