Sorry MrBo, I was just trying to find another excuse not to work.

Now that's something we ALL have in common Meadish

Summer. It sings its meaning, creating immediate images of balmy days, diamond white beaches, coconut palms, deck chairs, mai tais and bikini-clad women. (Some of those things you can even get in Thailand.)

Top of the list so far but unfortunately I am back here

Vasectomy.

Quite possibly should have been the Word of the year before now just joking

Uncertainty

Yup, I'll buy into that.

Awareness.

It's never a bad thing is it?

No it's not, just wondered if there was anything in particular, but no it's never a bad thing.

Where's the 2 "H's" and the "A" gone ohmy.gif laugh.gif

Propheshional

I prefer 'Proughghetiuhnel'

Pronunciation key:

ough = the last sound of RP English 'borough', or for an emphasized vowel pronunciation, o as in 'dough'

gh = f as in 'laugh'

ti = 'sh' as in 'commotion'

uh = 'uh' as in Uh?

el = as in 'apparel'.

'Faggots'.

Just cooked dinner and presently we have a Japanese student and she asked what they were and I answered Faggots, after a brief time of, 'What Baggots', Baggoots, Haggots,' etc, until I spelled it out. 'F-A-G-G-O-T-S'.

She snatched up her mini computer/word organiser and after a short time, smiled shyly and quickly closed it.

You want to guess if it was an American Lexicon?

I bet I do.

Yup, quite correct, as well as being a Liver dish with herbs, an old woman and a derogatory term for a Homosexual in the U.S, but I wonder which one came up on her electronic lexicon? judging by the nervous laugh and shutting it quickly down.

Fagott (in Swedish and German)

I am not confused, but why call her a Fagott?

Moss

Indeed! She is neither old, nor a man with a propensity for amorous relations with people of the same sex, does not quite resemble chopped liver; and even though she is rather skinny, one would be unnecessarily cruel to refer to her as a bundle of sticks.

Hence, I can but suspect that the answer is somehow concealed behind the mysterious orange drapery.

Yes, understand the family stuff, one major change myself recently and one other hammer blow, so I guess I understand your apprehension.

I Hope so too.

Thanks, me too. Dad is going in for reconstructive knee surgery next week, one more thing to be worried about. Last two surgeries he developed nasty staph infections

Faggot Recipe

Faggot Preparation Time: 50 Minutes

Faggot Cooking Time: 2 Hours

People tend to love or hate faggots, but these beauties, freshly made in faggot gravy bare little resemblance to their distant cousins, which you may have seen in the deep freeze at your local supermarket.

Ingredients: Serves 4

1 pigs liver - diced

1 pigs heart - diced

6 rashers streaky bacon - cut into strips

250g pork belly - diced

2 medium sized onions - peeled and sliced

1 egg

100g breadcrumbs

2 tsp of finely chopped fresh sage

Salt and pepper to taste

A large knob of butter

Cooking Instructions:

1. Melt the butter in a large heavy based oven proof pan, add half the sliced onion and cook over a moderate heat until the onions soften.

2. Gradually add all the meats, stir for a few minutes then add enough water to cover the ingredients, leave uncovered and put in the middle shelf of the oven at 190oC for 50 minutes.

3. Remove from the oven, drain the liquid (to make the gravy), mince the meats and onion with the remaining onion, egg, breadcrumbs, 1 tsp of sage and salt and pepper, mix well and form into faggot sized balls.

4. Place the faggots into a greased baking tray and add enough of the reserved liquid to just cover the base of the tray. Cook for about 40 minutes at 200oC on the middle shelf.

5. In the meantime use the rest of the reserved liquid to make some gravy.

6. Five minutes before the faggots are cooked add the gravy to the tray and cook on the stove getting as much of the meat juices into the liquid.

7. Serve whilst piping hot with mashed potatoes and peas pudding, garnish with the remaining sage.

Franic

One of our lead technicians (misnomer of the year) is called Frank

and when under pressure he panics and does the headless chicken all over the workshop.

Frank + panic = Franic

ie; "he's gone into a Franic", "don't Franic" or "he's Franicking again"
