Wolfgir, this is actually a joke I heard a long time ago, which your statement reminded me. Hope it gets a chuckle somewhere.
The difference between Heaven and Hell is: in Heaven, the British are the cops, the French are the cooks, and the Germans are the engineers. in Hell, the Germans are the cops, the British are the cooks, and the French are the engineers. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif (apologies to anyone who may be offended...it's in fun! And I know of at least one VERY good French engineer, too...he's the guy that told me this joke!) http://www.wizardrealm.com/images/saz1.gif |

My personal rule of thumb.
"Never eat on an empty stomach". Fill it to the brim with the beer of your choice and taste becomes irrelevant. Jeez sometimes you're just happy to have shovelled it in your mouth on the first attempt...not always possible accepted. English restaurant = Whichever shop your drunken frame encounters first. Taste, cost and cholestoral are of absolutely no significance when zig zagging your way home covering your new shirt front in layers of warmish grease. Yes, the Engish open air restaurant, tried, enjoyed and often thrown up by Brits the world over. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif ------------------ One love, peace. |

Ramon: Just curious, why do you call me m'aam? In the states, you usually only call someone m'am who is alot older than you. I'm not that old Ramon.
Donut: Absolutely can't believe that you have been to Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Birmingham is north of there. Well, about grits. You can't grow wheat very well in the south, but corn grows very well here. I guess you would say that it is the major "grain" produced in the south. So, we make lots of things out of corn. Cornbread is wonderful (bread made out of corn). Grits are a cornmeal mush, I personally love them, but to some people it is an acquired taste. Did you eat them? Did you like them? ------------------ Reeka--The Hand of Death O_H_F GMDLM http://publish.hometown.aol.com/tobb...ages/reeka.jpg |

It is unusual for me to find a food that I hate but grits was it! I loved the corn bread and the catfish, and the alligator, and the gumbo and the southern fried chicken and the country ham and eggs and every other type of food. Only one other problem in the States. We were in Little Rock in Arkansas and we ordered peach cobblers for desert but didn't really like them. When the waitress came to the table she noticed we had left them and asked in a loud southern accent 'What's wrong with your cobblers?' http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif. (In Britain 'cobblers' is a euphemism for 'nuts' if you get my drift) My friend laughed so much he slid off his chair under the table. ------------------ http://www.wheatsheaf.freeserve.co.uk/roastspurs.gif Save Chip - Don't let Sarah win!

Donut! ROFLMAO! ROFLMAO! That reminds me of a professor of ours. I work in a university, that was in London for a semester. Her 8 year old son was with her, and he wanted a collection of some sort from their visit in London. So, to conserve space and money, they started a eraser (like on the end of pencils) collection. She told me that in Britain, you call erasers "rubbers." Well, in the States, "rubbers" are condoms. He was going to school with British kids and picking up the lingo. She told me, "I have got to tell him that when we get home to not ask people if they want to see his collection of rubbers"

Donut - It sounds like you traveled extensively in the southeastern part of the USA. Was it a tour? Personally grits are not one of my more favorite foods. I'll eat them but only with sugar and butter. During my army days, I was at Ft. Bragg North Carolina going through a training school. I was assigned to a squad where I was a minority (Actually it was a great experience for me). All of my squad was African American, but me and one other. The first day we all went to breakfest they about laughed me out of the mess hall for eating my grits with butter and sugar. They all eat them with salt and pepper (YUCK!!!).

Hey Ramon!
You told me you would have that slow connection so I never expected to see you here on the board yet, dear vampire http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif TEEHEE! As to all that currency- do keep it as mementos! I have some of my own kicking about. Rubles and kopeks, of course and some money from my brief stop in Helsinki and my week in Amsterdam. Even have lire and several other currencies from the Beriozki shops in Moscow and environs. Those were hard currency only shops back in the days of the Soviet Union. And since Soviet citizens were forbidden to posess foreign money,the shops were effectively only for foreigners to use.
