On the way to work today....
 
....we got stopped by police, not us (me and cab driver) but ALL traffic next to the airport,

Police jeeps, cars, bikes, mercedes all over - then a bloody film crew came along on top of a merc jeep, we waited 20 mins, then more police, even more, and then 3 buses of emiratis, Sheikh Mo himself, his son and loads more important looking dudes,

I waved at the Sheikh but he never waved back :unsure:

Soz for the change in subject but do you like mince and tatties Spugsy?

Do you do it with a sort of pir crust on??

I like haggis, neeps and tatties as well (but I get wrong of the scotchers for putting gravy on it).

I'm in the doghouse with mrs spugsy at the moment, I may come round for tea with you and chesney tonight!

Mmmmmm makes me want proper stodgy food now.

erm aye, after the football the other night, got proper wasted and fell over, smashed a glass, smacked my head off the wall and cut my face, got my legs stuck under the chair and couldn't get out (god knows how), mrs spugsy helped me to bed - thing is I'm meant to be a good lad and pay my debts off and stuff so get blootered on sambuca and stella wasn't such a good move.

Then I mentioned I'm going out for the footy again tomorrow and that did it....

I meant pie crust, I'm thinking of mince and dumplings covered in a pie crust - get in, I'd kill for some of that right now.

With gravy.

Think this was because President Nicolas Sarkozy has just opened a French military base in the United Arab Emirates, France's first permanent base in the Gulf.

mmm well i'm not a expert on this as i've just been thinking about it and i don't think Mr H has ever been in the dog house that long.
He did annoy me when he lost the house key the last time (only coz he had already lost 2 mobile phones!) but he felt really bad about it so i don't think he needed me being mad too.

Anyway i think you should suggest taking her out for the day at the weekend? Somewhere fun?

Thats what i would like.

Re: On the way to work today....
 
No pie crust i'm afraid. So you mean with a bit of pastry?

I've had mine (it was very nice!:thumbsup:) but Mr H isn't home yet :( Working late again.

Some people have dough balls with it but i don't like them.

Whats "dumpling topping"?
