"You're an Ugly Mother****er"... one of my favourite lines

A classic line indeed.

However, it was used in AvP, IIRC, and doesn't that just get your goat, when they reuse a catchphrase in a subsequent movie of the same franchise, to elicit a few laughs ?

It's so cheesy, it's Mature Farmhouse Cheddar.

Last time I cooked trotters I made a pigs ear of it

You can't make a silk purse out of one of those either.

I'll get me coat

Already got mine on.

Glad someone knows their movies...no one else was clever enough to get the reference.

And yes, mud is a well known protective layer against laser sights locking on to you. Worked for Arnie, didn't it ?

I thought that was to disguise his infra-red signature...

DaveB pipped me at the post on this one.

Actually it was a defence against the IR vision used by the Predator since it didnt appear to be able to see in the human visible spectrum. The target designator tracked the aliens vision rather than being an independant targetting system so what it looked at was what it shot at.

Hungarian Pörkölt is a great recipe, especially if you use pig's trotters. It's a stew with lots of paprika, onions, herbs and vegetables. Beautiful rich red sauce and lovely with plenty of sour cream.

We often get trotters from our butcher for free as most people make the sign of the cross whenever they see something that's not hermetically sealed in a polystyrene tray.

You can still get it. Saw some the other day but can't remember where. Never tried eating it but it looks really pretty.

Is the only defence against that to cover yourself completely in mud?

Does anyone remember having Brawn?

When I were a little 'un , mother used to put a slice of Brawn on our chips, it would melt within a minute , it must have had a high fatty content.
I wonder if I would still eat it now ?

Yes I remember Braun,can't remember seeing it since the 1980s though. If I want Offal today I go to McDonalds

It's the little red dots that should concern you.

Especially 3 in a triangle pattern

Did it make your piss turn red?

I eat a lot of beetroot and even though I’ve heard this tale from lots of people I’ve never pissed red. Maybe I have some special enzyme in my gut that breaks down red dyes. Maybe it’s just an urban myth.
