No need to google if you read the Spanish press every day, it appeared very recently on 04.03.2010 You probably wouldn't have come across it in the Sun or the Mirror though.

Why are you such a complete arse, are you unable to post anything sensible ?

You must lead a very exciting life. Quoting fish references.. Mmm, stimulating.
I don't google anything really unless I'm trying to find out something important. I stick to the knowledge in my head. (Though it may be little, it's usually correct and gets me by). No need to google what 'agoreira' means.. I've got a pretty good idea.. :thumbsup::rofl:
The sun and the mirror, best damn papers in the u.k. What do you read ag man? The beano.?

I googled it, the Spanish google, I must be going mad, and what did I find?

A post I posted on this forum a couple of weeks ago! That was on the world-wide Google, how can that happen?

Is nothing sacred? It’s terrifying, every single, innocent looking post on a forum can turn up on Google for the whole world to see.

I can only say that I’m so pleased I’m using a cyber name. I hardly google anything, maybe it’s just as well. And if anyone feels a bit smug, then let me tell you, you’re all on there.

Christ, I've just remembered a thread when I tried to inform someone that posting too much personal information can be dangerous, and the posts got a bit personal, from me too.

And all that stuff's out there, I was only pointing out that it was dangerous posting it on a forum, little did I know that the whole world was watching.

My house is on Google, along with all the stuff I've written about myself, maybe I'll need more than just my base ball bat.

It said Merluza on the slab on the fish counter, but for all I know, it could have been a small shark. The word I was looking for was caramelised, I think, but my googling days are curtailed, I don’t want any more shocks.

I got to thinking about the ignore list that I had never heard of until agoraira mentioned it. Can you put Google on there?

And, please don’t take offence agoraira, but if you put all the people that annoy you on an ignore list, you could wind up with a blank web page and have no one to annoy.

Don't like merluza. Every time I cook it it turns to a grey snotty mess. Given that the other fish I cook turn out fine, I'm not taking the rap for that.

Jurelis is nice, good texture like mackerel, but not such an agressive taste.

Nile perch. That's quite a reasonable fish, but then fried toilet paper to me has a better taste and texture than cod.

I haven't tried panga, but some of the other cod substitutes are a bit awful.

I really wish I could get smoked haddock, pref. undyed, so I could do a killer kedgeree.
