You have to see spotted dick to understand why it is such a speciality over here.

Talking about food- I am off to france next month and going to a region where the local speciality is

"Tripoux" (mutton tripe with stuffed Sheeps Feet) Think this will be the first trip where I will not be frequenting the Local hostelries for a regional meal. Mind you- It is right in the middle of my favourite drinking wine. Cote Du Rhone. Although enough of the local wine and I might be tempted at some point in trying it.

How could it occur to someone to cook sheep's feet wrapped in its stomach? Yech! Reminds me of scrapple.

Ha! "To each their own!" said the lady that kissed the cow.

Some years ago, my brother asked if he could have a three japanese guys he knew from college over for our American Thanksgiving dinner. She said sure and over they came. They examined the food carefully, had a little turkey, some green beans, but not too much else. My brother said they were very reluctant to try our mashed potatoes!

Sounds a lot like McDonalds breakfast burritos. McDonalds is probably a lot cheaper.

In hopes of creating an international incident:
British v. American: who wins each round:
Emerson Lake and Palmer -- A
Lucas Electrical -- A
McDonalds -- B
Cricket -- A+
Real football -- A
Any sport where the winning score is more than 1 -- A
Jerry Springer -- B
Blood pudding -- A
Cheesburgers -- A
Murder mayhem and violence -- B
Proximity to France -- A

I think the winner is pretty obvious at this point.

Thats where your seat problem is coming from- stop trying to hatch them by keeping them in your Bib Shorts.

Maybe that should be "spotted toasties" You can always tell a cyclist from the tan lines.

Well I see it just fine and dandy. A picture of Peter Graves from his TV role on Mission Impossible, with a smoking reel to reel tape recorder to boot.

Interesting. At home using Firefox, I saw it fine. At work using IE, it's just a red X.
