In Italy there used to be a dessert called "sanguinaccio", a rich chocolate pudding made with pigs' blood, whose sale is not allowed nowadays. I've never tried it, but I have a couple of recipes for it, which you could attempt if you lived on a farm and slaughtered your own animals.

You mean 'vin'?

Sorry for making fun of you, David... I know you're as happy as I am today, and Michael is even happier than the two of us! 

Well, Micky does drive a van (a yellow one), but there would definitely be no room at the back... All his work stuff is there, and you should hear the racket it makes every time it moves!

He's sleeping now... Was up until before midnight, but then he went to sleep. He's doing an important job these days, and needs his rest. I'm sure he'll show all his joy when he gets back online.

At the moment, though, I am rather pissed off, because I've been waiting for the movers since 8 a.m. (even if I had been warned they would come later due to heavy traffic). I can't wait to get this over and done with... My flat looks like a damn warehouse, and I am so sad at having to part with my CDs for heaven knows how long.

ACDC covers band could be a grin... watch out for PM/Phone call...

Funny it seems like such a sensible thing to do now too....so much for progress!   I once had them in a very potent Xmas cake, long ago and far away. It made for an interesting new years eve.

certainly explains the headmaster & headmistress's behaviour:



Headmaster: "Gawd Blimey, Mary Poppins - I'm orf my bleedin' face"

Headmistress: "supercallefragelistic ex...exp....expp ially...what was I saying?"

Headmaster: "You're more out of it than me... what abaaat the kiddies?"

Headmistress: "I really fancy a pizza"

Saturday 22nd Touchstone, 6th Dec is "dark side of the moon night" ........... and they have curry back on the menu if you fancy prog curry  I'm not sure which weekends I will be around, other than 15th which I am pretty sure about.

I had a senior moment then and though that said Dropstone.

That band features my mate Mark.

However, it's not that band.

I may try and come along but I have a feeling I'm seeing Hawkwind around that time.
