Congratulations mate. Where is it?


Shoreham-by-Sea, right on the south coast next door to Brighton.


Is that far away to commute Simon?

Yes, it will mean a move. For the short term I'll rent a room down there and come home on weekends until I can get the family moved.

BTW, as sailor I pressume you probably moved a lot when you changed bases so this is not very big problem...

What is in black pudding or is this one of those things I do not want the answer to?


If I told you, you'd never look at congealed pig's blood in the same way again I think most regions have a similar thing, blood sausage/blutwurst or whatever. I still don't like it.

cajun boudin now thats some tasty stuff.

Eric, you can't help being French.  Maybe one day you'll learn to cope with your 'disability', but until then we're willing to help you manage 

At least, you aren't from europe, right


As an englishman, i think Dixie is in Europe...but without being in it, but being a small part of it but not within.....;
Sorry, it's a bit of an old joke in France...it's coming as far as General De Gaulle.
I don't want to ignite any political debate here.....


When I was an exchange student in the UK in 1983, I was frequently and strongly advised by British students that they were not Europeans. I recall one young lady being most emphatic that "they were subjects, not citizens". Most of my British friends now refer to themselves as Europeans and as citizens. So I'm assuming that times have changed. And just for the record, I'm one American who loves British food. But also French,Scandanavian,German,Spanish,Portugese,Carribean,South American,Japanese,Korean........H'm, I starting to see a pattern here...

you forgot cajun which is good and tex-mex which is good and the best of all texas barbecue.

Its reputed to be the most thorough accounting of the air war over the Eastern Front so yes. Leafing through the book, i am so far personally impressed. Book is large and lavishly illustrated with many rare photos. Apendixes include full orders of Battle and other pertinent info. So far three volumes have been published with Vol 4 supposed to be published very soon.

Been wanting to start this series for over a year but the main stumbling block was mulla. Vol 1 is out of print and the asking price for some of them was nothing short of outragious.

Finally bit the bullet and went for it.

Holy $hit is that expensive. Just looked into the net. I may get volume 1 and 2 for about 80 Euro each.
