Probably smells of fish, too, yes? Given his location I mean.

I am very attracted to areas that smell of fish, thus my interest in costal America. Fish is the symbol of Jesus. Something I have noted time and time again, is how American churches often smell fishy.

They don't seem to have mastered loaves, though.

I. bought some potato bread the other day. Great American ingenuity at its best thinks I. chippy butty all in one product. But it was crap, maybe they saw me coming, and sold me a lemon instead.

My poor dears. I didn't realize (with a "z" thank you) you would all be hanging on waiting for my appearance. I have a life you know. I can't be at your beck and call for entertainment at every moment.

I'm trying to figure out what kind of life you've got...:unsure:

I would just eat the salsa with a spoon.:)


I'm glad this thread is proving to have some staying power after all. Sultan may yet get a turn.

Yes, he keeps showing up at the wrong times.

My technique for taking the Little Lion clothes shopping is to go to a shop that he does not immediately despise, and then hand him off to a shop assistant to pick stuff out while I stay out of the way. Much less stressful.

I am a bit reminded of my time in your London, by this thread. On a couple of occasions in a pub, while having a quiet pint at the bar, I'd over hear a couple of locals having a go at Scousers. I'd turn to them and say in my best Scouse accent "bunch of c%&T's them scousers aren't they?", now my aim was to be light hearted and jovial but on each occasion it was greeted with complete silence and an end to their conversation.


Not 100% sure of the connection to this thread, but its there some where.

It's not too bad picking out the clothes (although she's caught between sizes, so we are still having to shop in childrens for some things, juniors others...) but when she tries things on, she has to model in the mirror and then try on different things to see how they go with whatever she's wearing. Sigh... And then it was shoe shopping...:eek:

I think you might have a point if there weren't only two brain cells in play...
