    not to mention a smothering of HP sauce!!!
    did anyone read in the paper that the HP sauce factory is moving abroad.
    i was shocked to hear that 175 people will lost their jobs.
    Who cares where they'll go, i just find it amazing that 175 people can satisfy the national demand for such a wonderful condiment!

    I'm used to it on other forums we TRY to go OT by at least 3 posts

    HP sauce is indeed great - oh and Tesco had the bottles for 1/2 price so it was 58p for a bottle over the weekend.

    Bargainalicious indeed

    i feel this goes a bit with this thread, have a look at this

    http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,195236,00.html

    One kid killed himself after 36h playing world of warcraf, the parents are now suing the game distributor.

    although governments/comapanies should have tools to flag the contents of games and other types of media/technology, every time i see this kind of thing i feel the biggest responsibility lay with parents.

    First who bought the game for the kid? surely knowing what is good for your kids is a parents job and not the company or government.

    who tha hell let the kid play during 36h?

    Ad irreverence, francophobia to the mix. It's about time we invaded France and took back Brittany, Normandy and Aquitaine. No reason for it, just seems like a good idea.

    Whenever I've been working overseas (which as some of you will know is quite often) my first stop on arriving back in UK is the nearest full English brekkie!!! The wife doesn't even ask now, just assumes (correctly).

    Nothing like the full cholesterol bomb first thing

    My best ever full english brekky was ona P&O ferry when on the way back from spain after two weeks of salami and all sorts of other strange breakfast traditions they have over there. I dont think they quite know what they are missing out on.

    The problem with the full English breakfast is that it missing two very important things that are essential to a full Ulster Fry: Potato Bread and Soda Bread.

    My sister used to live in London, and every time someone went to visit, or she returned from a visit home (Belfast), there were a few bags of Potato Bread and Soda Bread involved. Her english husband just couldn't get enough of the stuff!
