I'd rather not.

It took long enough to wash up my pots.

Roast beef.

Not up to usual standard.

Ho hum.

Rice pud was just about right though.


I wanted lamb today, but they didn't have any (of appropriate size).

Shopping time.

Just read a thing on wiki that relates how the septics managed to lose 313 men during an unopposed landing on one of the Aleutian islands during WWII.

Quite remarkable really.

Some of those septics were Canadians apparently. Interesting story nevertheless - when a well planned pincer turns into a curcular firing squad.

. However, when the American forces gave chase, they were immediately slowed by an accidental air strike upon them by an American aircraft.

However, the Americans suffered significant casualties during their 'invasion' – 313 men died as a result of accidents, with many dying due to accidental fire. Of the total 313 dead, 70 died when the destroyer USS Abner Read struck a mine, while at least 21 died due to friendly fire

Can't teach an old Dog new tricks. Yehah!

reminds me of an old WWII joke.

When the Germans open fire the British & Americans duck.
When the British open fire the Germans duck
When the Americans open fire - EVERYONE DUCKS.

Well the Blighty contingent of grub club have left to go to the airport.

And had got the flight time wrong despite double checking...

Bunk and I are now on (different) trains heading towards our respective final destinations.

Thanks all for a great weekend!
