    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    What the heck is 'pouting'? :eek:
  • What the heck is 'pouting'? :eek:

    It's fish. I'm not sure if it is a fish, but the bag contains fish.
    It was bought at the fishmongers and it was cheap.
    :rotfl:

    Wikipedia:
    Trisopterus luscus (also known as bib, pouting, pout whiting or pout) is a fish belonging to the cod family (Gadidae). It is found along the European coast. Usually grows to 30 cm (12 inches).

    :rotfl:
    Well, to be fair MWC, it wasn't until I inventoried it that I realised that I HAD that many sausages either!:rotfl:

    I take a trip to Ozzie Mills once a month and buy the sausages in bulk. I thought I'd used most of them up but there were some lurking in the bottom.

    I was more concerned about the retentive way in which I seem to have organised my freezer.:rotfl:
