Tomorrow at 4.00 p.m. can't come fast enough for me.

Although it looks as though I might have to go up to Hell Hull when I'm supposed to be on leave next week...

I left Hull in 1978 and never went back (apart from the odd visit)

Isn't the Prairie a bit far from the sea?

Yes, but it's a frozen route all the way. Some fish are frozen on shipboard, right after being cleaned and filleted. I believe the Pollock for McDonalds' come off the boat ready for the fryer. Sure looks that way. But yes, I'm about 700 miles from Philadelphia and Jersey City, and close to 800 miles to Biloxi, Mississippi.

You can't dis Hull on here, you might get thrown off the forum.

Damn if I were to have read this earlier I would have been there.

The hounds would not have got a look in.

It came out great, wonderful crab cakes and a good flounder, and some fried cod as well. A potato was also present, as well as a cheddar muffin or, as we call it here, a biscuit.

Explain prairie oysters then.

Actually, I used to live near a fresh water clamming fishery at Peoria, but most people used the shells for buttons. I believe that was the commercial application, although the Illinois River has a great many clams in it. Prairie oysters are of the barnyard, not the sea. After a bull becomes a year old, it's time to warm up the fryer. After this unfortunate incident, he becomes an ox, after a year or so as a steer.

After reading some disturbing news on here earlier I have decided to have a break from all the wittering of you lot.

I may be back sometime, maybe I'll even have a cycling tale or two to tell, stranger things have happened.

See you all when I get bored

Sounds wonderful.

We are having fish pie for Xmas Eve supper and today discovered a fabulous new seafood restaurant has opened in the town.

Fish everywhere

I think he's a bit intimidated because I went for a bike ride this morning.

His wife is taking his computer off him for Christmas.

I was going to tell you about that but you're never far from the pier, I cycled past it on Sunday. It can only have been open less than a week. Looks good. We have had that restaurant in the sea sports centre on the beach my way for a few years, never been though.

After enjoying myself on the bike, I've also built a 2.4m ramp so we can get my MIL into the house. She can't even get up a step (or doesn't try any more) so we'll have to get her out of the car, pop her in the wheel chair and push her all of 4m to the front door, up the ramp, from here she will have to walk. Hopefully she will be able to get over the door threshold (eek). The ramp weighs a tonne to move, so temporarily dragged it into the back garden.

My missus did say 'no testing it out by jumping your mountain bike off it' - bloody spoil sport.
