Oh the Places You'll Go

[Rich]

I'd love to try haggis. Is the supermarket one acceptable? Or should I order one online from Scotland. How do you cook it??? Hayley, I'm hoping you can help me out here so I can convince my fellow sassenachs that it really is a delicacy...

It's just like an oversized faggot, you're not missing much

I have been to... Australia, New Zealand, Rarotonga, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Andorra, Egypt, Italy, Greece, Turkey, USA, Canada, Mexico, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Holland, Czech Republic, Luxemburg... and tomorrow I'm off to Hungary (Budapest)... Think both Australia and NZ have dis-owned Tasmania... and I have lived there as well (... and no, I don't have 2 heads!!).

French Canadians have lovely women... esp the accent... so a good reason to visit Montreal if you are a bloke. But nowadays I quite like visiting Sweden - cos my fiancee is from there, and they are lovely ppl, and the country is gorgeous. Also loved the Czech Republic... actually, let's face it... everywhere is nice as long as you don't have to work!!

Denmark, Poland, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Portugal, Czech Republic, Singapore, India, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Djibouti, Egypt, Cyprus, Lebanon, and Syria. Not the most joyous of places. Saying that, I enjoyed Poland, Denmark, and, in a way, the Czech Republic.

Mile-O, what part of India did you visit?

Nah, 'you're not missing much' would still be true for an oversized faggot here.

I see you're developing our sense of humour, just practice some more

Thanks for the information Barry, Just for the record I don't like Haggis, I never eat Porridge. I did however try a Mars Bar Supper once........ It had to be done! It wasn't too pleasant actually and I don't think I'll ever be trying anything like that again, one of our local chippie's done Mars Bar suppers and I think the other one was Snickers If I remember correctly!

I'll give you that much some good did come out of England....my other half for example!! When Scotland played England at the rugby last year he was a right pain in the neck winding me up because we were geting beat......I fight back where I can knowing that we are not half as good it's hard but I do ok. If it's not about sports and stuff it's when I take off on my slang and he tells all his relatives when we go back down south to visit in his best scottish accent (his scottish accent is really quite pathetic but he's improving)

Anyway I like England really and my many visits there have always been a pleasant experience. I've never had any abuse for being scottish although my other half does tend to get some grief for being English on nights out (certain places)

Gracious as always, Hay. A shining example to the naughty boys on this forum.

Col, it was a place called, I believe, Jamnagar. I didn't get to visit it, really, as I was on board ships back then.

Firstly, great thread title One of my favourite stories I read to my gf's daughter, along with "Oh the thinks you can think".

Thanks!
When my kids were little, I could recite "The Cat in the Hat" blindfolded. My husband knew I needed a vacation when he came home, "how was your day?" and I answered,
"The sun did not shine.
It was too wet to play.
So we sat in the house
all that
~~~~cold
~~~~~~~cold
~~~~~~~~~~ wet
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~day."

great memories of a mother's loving madness

I vaguely remembered "The Cat in the Hat" from when I was young, and then in my teens it was "in vogue" again (although more in a visual sense I believe).

However, it wasn't until reading it again very recently that I saw what genius it really was. Some books are a PITA to read, and some are simply a joy (I mean the physical act of reading, rather than anything to do with the story). Dr. Seuss is clearly in the latter category.
