Martin this brings up a whole different ponder. Now if this had been Steve, Jeff, Ed, Dave, Don, Wayne, Herb or most any other mutant that ask a question concerning something they were doing, and was it stable, I would be quick to point out how unstable they are in there daily life! But Martin I find it difficult to rag you concerning your state of stability so I just took the problem outside to do a test. First a tied a rope to the back of my bicycle and rode really fast pulling the rope, worked great! Next I tied the rope to the front of the bicycle and proceeded to push the rope really fast!
Do you know how fast rope coils up around a bicycle peddle? I'm sure the bandages will be off my knees and elbows soon. Short answer is avoid this situation. I hope I've shead some light on this situation. Your welcome

Greetings from my kitchen! I may not be able to travel like y'all, but I can still cook like it. Pork shoulder after 10 hours in the smoker. It was hard to get it out because it just fell apart.

When I read words I don't understand, the Mac makes it really easy to double click the word and right click/Look-up the definition. Well Tim, I hope you really don't mean the rest of us Mutants that are not there are NOT "the entrails and internal organs of animals used for food"! I thought you guys had plenty of food!!! I think there should be some kind of head count at these events - number arriving and number leaving, sure hope the numbers are equal!!!

Ok Carl get ready to learn sumpin here this morning. Indeed offal refers to certain parts of an animal that often are not consumed such as throat, stomach, nostrils etc. so another way of saying "Not Good" would be to call it offal! Now think of the last time you've heard a group of mutant men singing! End of lesson! Should of been at Bryce! We're working on a GC closer to you for next year!

Looking good! We may have a chef for the North East GC!
But let me warn you, Steve has set the bar high.
Steve the corn beef was great last night!

I helped Steve cook and slice the corned beef at CL. It was amazingly good. Did you wonder why there wasn't quite so much of it.

Thank you Tim, I enjoyed the visions you conjured. We did finally make it to London without any disastrous concertinering and are now on the last leg down to Poole on the South coast to visit my bro. This time we are in an EMU (electric multiple unit) and I feel safer.
