Hey that's my motto!

Does your grandfather often eat your pets? In any case, a simple notice reading "¡No te comas mi anguila!" should do the trick.

Quite a monstrous visage. I hope it didn't put you off devouring the burger.

Yesterday I indulged my nostalgia by watching clips of the Japanese TV series Monkey, which was on British TV, and apparently in Australia too, back i...

I think so.

Your boomer moronicisms make me :vomit:

I don't think I was one of your tormentors, except maybe once.

Good pie.

Gourmet lamb, volcanoes, and geothermal energy are all very well but I'll need further persuasion before I visit the place myself. I mean, I can get p...

You might have tried the British English version, "minced beef," or failing that, the Icelandic nautahakk. "The Icelandic lamb meat is a traditional f...

To those who have seen Tarkovsky's Solaris: what do you make of the surprisingly long (even for Tarkovsky, I think) bit where the ex-pilot Burton is i...

Dammit.

The traditional form I'm familiar with is "An Englishman, an Irishman, and a Scotsman walk into a bar..." It's quite a challenge to create a new joke ...

I'd wager there are at least 350 of them in Madrid right now.

I was also talking to a Father Christmas-looking man who was the caretaker of a church in the old town. He said he was trained in divinity and I asked...

Thank you for your interest. I was in Edinburgh for a while. I had a pickled egg for the first time in Sandy Bell's folkie pub in Edinburgh, and the n...

I think an arboreal bear would be a tree bear, one that lives in trees, and I know of only one such bear: the sun bear of South East Asia. I doubt tha...

Yes. I've been using an iPad to read books and it's been great for that. However, a few weeks ago I propped it against the window to play music while ...

In particular, the relationship between Ebenezer and his manservant Bertrand owes a lot to the Don Quixote-Sancho Panza double act.

Nice way of putting it :up:

It’s equally entertaining and fun, I’d say, but it’s a difficult comparison. It’s less wacky/goofy/hippy stoner than M&D, but also more consistent: it...

:cool:

Unfortunately, while I'd like to be friendly in response to that post, I have to admit that it is my belief that the worst crime of punctuation is to ...

You're a master of suspense.

I've watched a few and have been mostly quite bored. Scotland's dreams of victory having died once again, I was lending my support to Georgia and Turk...

You'll have to think of something yourself. I for one am not going to give you any ideas. That said, I enjoyed this first installment.

The Sot-Weed Factor by John Barth. I'm at page 545 of nearly 800, and still loving it. It's a masterful parody, a technical tour de force, beautifully...

:fire:

:fire:

Lush.

It's missing one of its wing tails. There's a story there.

In philosophy people seem to talk mostly about Genealogy of Morals and Beyond Good and Evil. And in my opinion a great way of approaching those two is...

Pig news.

So...my ancestor was an owl? A wronged one?

What happens next?

I saw one of those fake owls in the wild yesterday, on the very day you posted that.

Of course, you're obnoxiously wrong, as usual.

A restaurant toilet I used today: /uploads/resized/files/1z/c5bit06ijemc01mw.jpg Thoughts?

I've been trying to one-up that shirt myself. Here is one that I describe with the so-uncool-it's-cool adjective snazzy: /uploads/resized/files/ep/bz4...

A bold choice of shorts colour for you.

Well, next time you're in Oban, hop across to the Isle of Mull, where it's always sunny, the scenery is spectacular, and the customer service is secon...

I envy your cap and eyebrows.

Good to see you. I particularly like the colour coordination with the dinner plates.

The pack said kofta. Minty lamb.

Not pajamas!

Oh ok then. Just phone shots. /uploads/resized/files/lg/dpvkpixtppg9e20o.jpg /uploads/resized/files/ft/nhfrya3pzg2wtl7s.jpg /uploads/resized/files/w4/...

An interesting decision.

Yep, that all checks out. Some Americans in town too. I went to a nearby castle and then took the boat to the Isle of Mull. My photos are rubbish.

Hey @"Hanover", I'm in Oban.
