Oh! Come on, David. A lot of people spend a lot of money on exotic wood chips to add authentic flavour to their BBQ -- Apparently you've got all the necessary natural herbs, spcies, etc provided by nature itself.

Exotic is not what I want at the dining table. That is an ambush not an amuse-bouche.

Oh come on, let's be honest … most of the posters on here aren't exactly on 'full ahead' anymore … (unless of course, they've had a few … )

If Raquel played her cards right … she could have me.

Well, well, well! (As the English policeman said to the lady with three heads) I find that 'am growing on bushes is quite a revelation -- I always thought 'am came from pigs!

She surreptios - sureppttisous - secretly bought tickets to see a band I'd rather not mention.

ABBA was almost compulsory on ships with Scandinavians (and nothing wrong with that.)


Anyway saw Steve Harley on Sunday and disappointingly I quite liked it. I was prepared to sit there and hassle the wife about getting tickets - quite spoiled the weekend for me.
