Japanese commuters do it all the time. I've never known a people group that can sleep so easily.

Sometimes I worry my wife will fall asleep on her bike.

I used to do that cycling off to do my paper round in the morning in winter. I used to check that the road ahead was clear and then shut my eyes and pedal!

How did the bikes manage?

The hallmark of British cuisine: makes your arteries tremble in fear just looking at it..

In that case, how about Bagna Cauda?

To quote Dr Franklin in Babylon 5: I can feel my arteries hardening just being in the same room. (Babylon 5 season 2 episode 4 "A Distant Star")

Fine ! It is a good job I didn't nod off completely!

...........or, in other words, mangle English as much as you please.

Just kidding. I know it's dialect, and I'm a big fan of retaining our various accents and dialects which are disappearing at a crazy pace.

It was quite amusing when I went down to Hampshire last week. Everything was fine until I spoke, and then I got the full on "you're not from around here then" looks.

There's a very marked difference between a Cambridgeshire accent and a Hampshire one.

Note to self. When cooking a chinese meal, don't start munching the prawn crackers whilst preparing it.

Hardly ate any. Stuffed. Oh well, there are about 4 lunches that can be frozen.

Travel from one side of The County to the other, 30 miles, and you could be in trouble, accent wise.

I've fed the cats, now preparing to feed me.

Kidneys, crispy bacon, mashed potato, braised red cabbage and a good lashing of dripping.

That’s sounds fab. Any left?

You'll be lost for those three hours!

OK, there's a very marked difference between an East Cambridgeshire accent and a Winchester-ish one...

Yes.

 

[classic33]

Yes.

Still!!

Eyes bigger than the belly?
