They have Scotch eggs here at our state fair. They're quite nice breakfast fare. Of course, eating them in a crowded, stifling hot (103F) barn whilest smelling your way through a horse show is inadvisable.

Lunchtime Tithe

Sardines and crackers with a fruit salad. Yummy but the cat goes into gimme gimme mode.

As Logboy would doubtless suggest, you aught to go into "kick it, kick it" mode.

You should be careful who sees you calling them Scotch, they can be a bit touchy about that at times

It has been known for the Scots to eat salad. When it's in a burger. And deep fried. In batter.

Looks terribly confusing. I think I might have tried a demo years ago and I just could not come to grips with it.

While rifling through a freind's old games I discovered he had MoH: Pacific Assault, which I have never tried. Tried it today. Found it rather disappointing.

Hoping the Vikings defeat Green Bay and the Patriots are winning in London

I wonder if the Patriots had some scotch eggs before the game

Good nights gentlemens.
Today was a bit hard and difficult...moral is dropping a little. Those who know will understand. And i don't want to annoy everyone explaining.
So i'm trying to make an AAR (damn, that's not that easy !! ).

To all threadster brothers: take care of you and your's, and enjoy your life while it is possible. That's important.
And if ever you face a hard time, just ask fellow threadster brothers: these guys are great !

It wasn't too bad when it came out, but now it's very dated. My next FPS will be Modern Warfare 2.

Tithe....my spouse had a nice surprise waiting for breakfast..Scotch eggs!

Believe it or not we have a Pub here that does them up quite nicely. I like them, but it is probably a good idea after eating to either take a cholesterol drug , go on a good 5 mile walk, or both.
