Oh I always thought faggots were sausages made of the stuff that wasn't even fit enough for normal sausages.Not sure what bits I was thinking.

Well they're offal, certainly, but with added stuff like oatmeal, and round not sausage-shaped. The frozen ones in supermarkets aren't the real thing, either.

And in the USA they're something else again...:eek:

I've never had a battered sausage either :undecided

I've looked at battered sausage, but never had the courage.

Have never had chips and gravvy, but it sounds nice.

If anyone who tried to give me jellied eels I would instantly assume they were trying to kill me. I have never seen jellied eels. Don't know why you think they are 'southern food' but they sound disgusting.

Most of my family buy cars at auctions, personally I prefer second hand dealers, or people I can sue if it goes wrong. Basically, because I don't know very much about cars.

DH has been listening to local radio today while working (and resting). I thought some of you might giggle at his misunderstanding about a well known

He thought it was about ..

''why do I have to be a park ranger?''

eta: this afternoon he's feeling the whiplash. Poor darling. I can assure you all I'm spoiling him. But I'm totally awed at how calm and cool he is. I wouldn't have thought he would be. I've fallen a little bit more in love with him. Didn't know that was possible.

DH likes jellied eels. He's not ''squeamish'' about food at all....

they ARE London food...eels and mash.

Ther ar things I can't eat even though I'm sure they can be nice....eels are one..chicken feet are another. Its part of that ''eating with your eyes'' thing.

He should try fresh ones; cut them up and they still jump around in the pan! :rotfl:

Fried, they are too oily and rich for me, but I might be tempted by jellied.

On mis-heard songs, don't forget that one about the hippie vicar by Neil Diamond, 'Reverend Blue Jeans.';)

mmmmmmmm..........chicken feet

no to chips and gravy. Not sure what jellied eels are and eugh to mushy peas.

LIR: I bought an old banger, advertised for £550, I paid £475 and touch wood, 8 days later it's still going. It was from a man who got given the car (he works at an MOT centre), stuck an ad on gumtree and I got to trust him in the end. I know nothing about cars, but learning bits (thank you dopestar!!) and am getting a bit better on the driving front.

Anyways, cheap bangers aren't advertised at second hand car dealers, they are more on the free ads or local boards type thing. Maybe ask around the pub and see if anyone in the village is selling. I was going to spend more but in the end, OH said if you crash the car you won't be devastated at losing that amount while you might never buy another one if you crashed one that cost loads more.

Best wishes to OH too. Hope he recovers and did you get it checked out in case it was anything serious?

Out there being a filthy capitalist, I imagine, or earning a crust, depending on how you want to spin it.

She won't like the Billy Bragg thread. That's where her forever dream house is going to be! :cool:

Hmmm.

Point of mildcontention. Something we didn't check,when we moved here, was how near an A &E we were....silly when you think of me really! Anyway...with a car our choice is Bath or Salisbury. either is a bit of a drive....and we have no car

My dad offered to drive over and take him to one or t'other, but DH won't do it (independence and all that). My client was here today and offered to take dh, and again...nope.

I did get him to call NHS direct to check what was best to do for the neck pain, an they said...yes ...here you live and under the circumstances a chat on the phone to your gp wouldn't be out of order and preferably an appt to check you over. But the GP's don't talk on the phone round here. Nor take ''emergency''appts. (I thought a within 24/48 hour appt with a GP, not necessarily yours was a rule nowadays?)


Ther is a minor injury unit in the nearest town, which would only be about £15-20 in a cab I think...so if push comes to shove I will do a pouty face puppy dog eyes and crocodile tears.

The whiplash really is to be expected, but he did have a lot of glass in his eyes which he says is ''gone''.
