    O Connell bridge? Just a guess...they musta had great craic renaming all the stuff in Ireland. You could have a pub quiz based on it alone, maybe a whole quiz is pushing it, a round may suffice :)

    That's a great notion Muff, it doesn't even have to be a quiz, just start a thread and let people throw in the ones they know about!

    'Which admirer of pigs said: "Dogs look up to man. Cats look down to man. Pigs look us straight in the eye and see an equal.”'

    Would that be Churchill? Sounds like him. I imagine in his efforts to get the nation producing their own food he could have 'upped' the pigs image to make it more acceptable having one or two in your wartime garden.

    Wow, a total shot in the dark there. :)

    Did you ever hear of the late great George Mellys impression of Churchill? He's undress, tuck his private bits between his legs and then bend over and present himself to guests. Bwahahahahahahhaha. I would love to have been to see that. :)


    OK, new question.
    What is a 'bain-marie'?

    George Melly cut quite a sartorial dash. Typically he would wear a pin-stripe suit over black shirt and white tie. He would also sport a large brown sombrero and lime-green socks!

    I really don't know but taking a guess by way of terrible stereotyping, it might have something to do with cold beer and charcoalized meat ???

    Sorry I'm so late coming in. As Kaypea said.....Life! in all its glory has kept me away. I only ask easy questions.

    I just love to sing, as you all know, but if I started to sing about ilex and hedera, what would I be singing?

    While the subject is alimentary it is not to do with either beer or barbecues.
