a la Guillotine!!
...very rare, in fact "bleu" with no sauce or peppercorns!
Or if he is a gentleman "tenderize" it!!Hope you are going to bash it
"salting"?I think he regularly bashes his meat.
I don't. I find that adequate salting and time (1 hr per inch thickness) does the trick.
Oooh err, now there is controversial!
Cut its horns off, wipe its bot and eat it.Hope you are going to bash it
Also quite nice in a pie -----

Mrs DG bort us boys a Cross Millennium a tis vairy gude tu write wiv. Vairy near us ole Parker 45 which spaniels munched. Us boys allus writes in turk wise ink zo twas eezy tu find culprit.
.... that changing the cambelt on the Pluriel is proving a nightmare and I haven't even lifted the bonnet yet!
Quite apart from the constant interruptions and stuff I have had to do for others, including ferrying W to her Tai-Chi and back, the printer repair guy has just turned up to finish the job, we hope, of stopping intermittent black lines on printout from our Brother laser copier.
So I cannot get into the study where I had got myself ensconced to photocopy all the blasted bits of the Haynes for the car.
So much of "as in section 3 subparagrah 9 of chapter 6" interspersed with stuff to do with the single cam engine, and about three different variations of methods of tensioning the aux belt as well as the cam belt. I will need to collate it all and put it in order to be sure I don't have to faff about in the book with oily gloves.
They expect me to take the cambelt sprockets off, why??? Just to clean the flippers? To remove some cover or other and I'm blowed if I can remember why I have to do that.Plus I have to make possibly two special tools.
Threw a bit of a fit over all this this morning. Never done one which was so stupidly fiddly.
Hey ho!
Enjoy the rest of your day folks!

My Father always wrote in turquoise ink. He had a wonderful cursive script. Me? I am the left-handed drunken spider that fell in the inkpot.
Back when IBM was still a proper company (cos' I was in it).... they decreed that all salesmen should have a fountain pen to sign contracts with (or to offer the customer to sign the contract with). They dished out "IBM Logo'd" Schaeffer fountain pens to us all.It took me ages of searching to find that mine is a Cross Townsend, and yep it do write boodiful!

Us farther used a Parker 45 laike us boys but used Parker royal blue. He too had a lovely fist which I long emulated but then he would, he was a design engineer in the old days of drawing boards and T squares.My Father always wrote in turquoise ink. He had a wonderful cursive script. Me? I am the left-handed drunken spider that fell in the inkpot.
In my first 2 years in junior skool we were taught italic writing. (for some unknown reason). My mum said my writing standard was good. Left handed kids needed a cranked pen nib to do it. Skool pens had what was called a reservoir nib which held enough ink to write a short sentence before needing to dip it back in the inkwell. Every kid aspired to own a fountain pen, if I remember right the weapon of choice was a Platignum or an Osmiroid pen. Then I changed skools when the family moved to a new area, and had to un-learn italic and get up to speed with cursive. Never really got the hang of it.Back when IBM was still a proper company (cos' I was in it).... they decreed that all salesmen should have a fountain pen to sign contracts with (or to offer the customer to sign the contract with).

Congrats!
