yeah when I buy them, it's a whole PKG. my Daughter will eat some if I make a meal w/ them but then the rest go into me. I don't ever ask the butcher for just 2 or 4 but I should. I may have shared this previously, my favorite is hot Italian sausage grilled over charcoal, 2nd favorite is roasted w/ peppers, onions, garlic & a drizzle of olive oil, served on a sub roll

"we have the meats" (Arby's commercial but don't think they do sausages)

sadly, no finished photo of the sub

This was a kilo pack of Newmarket chipolatas - 36 sausages in all.

Usually I buy them in a much more sensible quantity, but when you yellow sticker, sometimes you've got to take advantage of a good bargain.

Waiting for the feeling to return to my feet after forgetting to wear warm socks to the darkroom.

Recycling bin emptied before I left for work so it was dragged to the back of the house leaving the front path clear for a cycle exit direct onto the road without slaloming. Only one hour and a mug of coffee to go.

I think the ice cream man driving around the area is a tad optimistic

Dropped off the parental unit's prescription at the quack. What's the bet they won't fark it up this month again?

They've resurfaced this end of Black Bank as far as the level crossing. It's only taken them five years to realise that tar and chippings didn't do anything to fill the inch wide and six inch deep cracks in the road. I had to cycle on the crown of the road to avoid disappearing without trace...

Fuel at the BP garage on the A10 roundabout is 155.9 for E10, 165.9 for diesel. They are one of the more spendy places in the local area however. Tesco is usually about 10p cheaper on a litre.

I just paid £177.9 per litre for diesel today. We have usually been 10p dearer than mainland but lately more like 7p mostly.

You always have a nice lunch. Heinz tomato soup ater a 20 mile lunch ride before getting back in front of the computer.

Never thought of it that way... It's just, well, lunch... Mind, I don't "do" breakfast...

Want me to send you a packup every day?

Almost time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

Did they not build replacements for the Nimrod but then scrapped them before going into service and then buying in something from America which was not as good?
I read a book about MOD purchasing and it seems about par for the course. The incompetence was mind boggling.

It was during cost cuts . I read somewhere that the RAF and the Royal Navy played a game of bluff nominating the Nimrod as being scrapped knowing that they both needed it . The government Lame Fox fell for it and so they were scrapped .
I do not understand why everything in this country is scrapped . If it has been made then it costs . If it is scrapped it is going to cost more on top ! Why not put them into storage in case a decision needs to be reversed .
This isn't the first time this thing has happened . During the start of the Falklands war the government went round looking for Fairly Gannet carrier AWACS only to find that they were too late! Nimrod's had to do the job.
I think the government were looking at the Boeing 737 Poseidon . A pathetic bomb bay, enough room to carry a couple packets of crisps .
If they were built to the exacting standards of the Max 8 they will probably fall out of the sky soon .
