Has anyone else noticed how the presenters on "the travelchannel",pronounce it "the chawachawa"?
Sounds like something from Star Wars or Hawaii... :)

Who decided and how that tarragon is what goes with chicken? Or that mint sauce or rosemary with lamb? Or cranberry sauce with turkey? Did someone taste all the different possibilities and decide that's how it has to be and spread the word? Or is it some kind of innate knowledge that we're all born with?

Equally, how did it come about that cheese and onion is the crisp flavour? Why not, say, cheese and peanut butter crisps? Or cheese and courgette? Have they tried it? If not, how do they know?

Shallot and Bordeaux reduction.. drooooooolllll :)


Do you guys have a Bacon crisp yet? In our efforts to get fatter than we already are, we have flavors like Loaded Baked Potato (bacon, cheese, sour cream, and chive flavored).. I like my idea better hehe

Frazzles. They've been around a long, long time. Anything more sophisticated than that I don't know about. I see the packets in the supermarket and they look pretty but I ignore them.

Sour cream and onion just go together. It's science.

I have a similar question about "bad words," though. Who decided? Who maintains it? Why? Can't we just decide that there are no curses, and move on with our lives? Santa, you and I should start a utopia where everyone eats peanut-butter-and-cheese crisps and uses the F-word as a term of endearment.

I hate f[censored]ing peanut butter but other than that, you're one of my favourite f[censored]ers on this f[censored]ing forum. We could start whole new languages and they'd be f[censored]ing great.

The F-word is my favorite word when I'm drunk. I think that's because it's one of the few words I remember, or maybe because it's so easy to say, even while under the influence.

Why don't they make perfume that smells like meat? Imagine it: you take a girl out for drinks, and she smells like a nice, juicy steak, or BBQ ribs. Where's the downside?

The dogs chasing you both down the street? :P

Seriously, I've clearly never understood what men are looking for in women up until now: The smell of meat. It's revolutionary. :)

I found a downside. While there are many fine perfumes, there are also many cheap ones. So, for every woman that smells like steak or ribs, you'll find one that smells like hot dogs or bologna.

Indeed.

I would say I have a whiff of Eau de Coq au Vin about me. How does that rate?

Well, I've never actually smelled it, or you, but after reading up on it, it sounds like it would smell pretty good.

Darkness. Black clouds.

I'm in a bad mood. Badbadbadbadbdadadaddbbbad.

Not for any particular reason, I just am. It didn't help that when the man turned up to buy my car today, for which we had agreed on a price of 48,000, he turned up with 10,000. He said "Sorry, turns out I can only afford to pay 10,000 for it. Is that OK?" :) Is it my imagination or is that freaking weird? If he'd turned up and said he could only scrape together 46,000, that makes sense, but from48 down to 10,000? Obviously, I brought the car home with me.

What an idiot... You could probably afford to ship the car home with the extra 30,000 he didn't want to pay you!

Shipping the car home is no problem. I'm from Spain so from here they just go through the Suez and across the Med., it's very cheap in fact. However, I've decided to take the other car as a two-seater is not practical when you have a dog, elderly parents and lots of visitors to carry around. My God it's fun though :) . Having been out and got pissed, I'm in a far better mood, but it still seems a rather comical little episode. Yes, we'll agree on this price but actually I only intend to give you 20% of that. OK...

If you had not have fallen.
I wouldn't have found you.
Angel flying to close to the ground.
And I patched up your broken wing.
And hung around a while.
Trying to keep your spirits up.
And your fever down.



I knew some day that you would, fly away.
For love is the greatest healer, to be found.
So, leave me if you need too.
I will still remeber.
Angel flying to close to the ground.


So, fly on, fly on.
Past the speed of sound.
I rather see you up,
Then see you down.
So, leave me if you need too.
I will still remember.
Angel flying to close to the ground.
So, leave me if you need too.
I will still remember.
Angel flying to close to the ground.

He lay face down in the desert sand,
clutching a six-gun in his hand.

Shot from behind,I thought he was dead,
for under his heart was an ounce of lead.

But his spark still burned so I used my knife ,
and late that night I saved the life...

of Ringo.

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world



Let's waste time

Chasing cars

Around our heads



Brain fried tonight through misuse
Through misuse, through misuse
You can't avoid static abuse
Abuse, abuse

Without these pills you're let loose
You're let loose, you're let loose
Take off, get out, no excuse
No excuse, no excuse

What's that coming over the hill
Is it a monster? Is it a monster?
What's that coming over the hill
Is it a monster? Is it a monster?
What's that coming over the hill
Is it a monster? Is it a monster?
What's that coming over the hill?

Confused, mind bruised, it seeps out
It seeps out, it seeps out
Face down, home town looks so grey
Looks so grey, looks so grey

Convexed you bend, twist and shout
Twist and shout, twist and shout
Stand up brush off get moving
Get moving, get moving

What's that coming over the hill
Is it a monster? Is it a monster?
