Isn't a Huff one of those small Eastern European cars?

Micky often goes to McDonalds for lunch, but I'd never touch the stuff, not even with the proverbial ten-foot pole. The smell that comes out of those places would be enough to put me off their so-called 'food' for the rest of my life. On the other hand, 'real' hamburgers here can be absolutely delicious, even if they're not precisely healthy. |
After all the talk of McD's I had a compelling urge to stop at one on my way home from work this lunchtime... bit of a shock to the system that (now admittedly, I don't get out much, and I suppose it is half-term, but...) ... I actually walked out of there feeling incredibly thin and healthy. 
...Compared to my fellow diners anyway.  |

(although exactly who I passed it to, I really can't recall... )

strange you say that... 'Australian Cattle Dogs' would be considered to be quite a shedesque subject for discussion... 
as a matter of fact, I'm presently devising the Shed's Spring evening discussion programme, and I have a gap in mid March, somewhere between Rob's evening on 'Practical Beetroot-keeping', Jim's 'The Human Digestive System - an Empirical Study', Alan's '101 things to do with a cub scout on a soggy campsite' and Rachel's 'Living with Lardycake...the secret confessions of a domestic goddess' (all the boys are looking forward to that one..  )
I've even heard that Peter will be weighing in with his own 'Motorcycle Diaries' at some stage, so you'll be more than welcome...

Sounds like an obscure Oz Psyche band - "Where ever we goes, the din goes, mate."
