Don't be doing too much drinking though.

We haven't forgotten about you and will be re-invading as soon as we think you're incapacitated.

Don't be too cocky...it´s just about the time we gets ta' drinkin' that we bring out the guns and are at our most dangerous. Even if we shoot one of ourselves in the foot for every two of you, you´ll still be toast! Laughing

If you hear people shouting "Yee-Haww" while wading ashore...do youself a favor and just duckpaddle on back to the mothership..... Twisted Evil

Yeah but it's just as well, maybe.....I ain't sure the world is ready for a big sloppin' plate of pulled BBQ Mutton or spicy Tex-Mex style Toad-In-The-Hole with extra salsa... Wink

Maybe just the thought of trying to get away from the idea of putting sausages in pudding, fer cryin' out loud, was what drove the Revolution more than taxes and whatnot...if the food is revolting then so shall be the subjects, eh?

Although Fish & Chips was a winner.....
