·Pajamas? I'd sooner be seen in an Invicta.
Hmmm, Invicta. I'd be happy to be seen in one of these.😁
Cheers. Chris

··Oooo subtitles!
They were big back in the 90's. There was a club at the top of Broad St in Birmingham which had a foam covered dancefloor. I think it was basically an excuse to grope the opposite sex and do the old hilarious trick when one lad would kneel behind a victim and he would be pushed over and fall helplessly into the cushion of foam (which wasn't cushioning in the slightest). There were many broken bones and minor charges of sexual assault as a result so it got stopped after a year or two. Happy times. Perhaps I really am a product of that school upbringing!

·This place is like a Pommie boarding school @padders, The Lizard has 1758 more posts than you so he wins.
But don't be put off, just take it on the chin old chap.
Now go and make me some toast and Vegemite and you'll get a damned good buggering.
(Another popular feature of British boarding schools).
Fixed that 😉

·Yorkshire all male Grammar School for me with no namby pamby rules against corporal punishment.Public floggings at assembly ( the head master took a run up to cane you ), a prefect system to enforce school discipline by humiliating fellow students ( and some staff !) the order of the day.The primary objective of this learning establishment was to produce well balanced Yorkshiremen who could go out into the world and moan that "nowt is as good as Yorkshire "
By the way this spread thing you are all debating is just some yeast infection what you really need is proper Beef dripping

Wow!
Somebody else that knows that dripping won't kill you.
We had a small bucket thing in the icebox (later refrigerator) with a sieve thing on top and every Sunday my Mum would pour the dripping from the roast into that bucket.
One of my fondest food memories from childhood was beating my brothers and sister home from school and cutting the thick bit off the fresh loaf of bread before they could get to it. I then got the dripping out and smothered that slice with the tastiest spread known to mankind.
As to the fables and facts on "fattening foods", I ate stuff like that for fifteen years and was still as thin as a rake.
fυck, I'm hungry now and I've just had crispy skin Scottish trout, Kipfler potatoes, asparagus and corn cobs with a nice ginger and lime sauce.
I wish I had that dripping billy now.
🙁

There's a Polish grill we eat at a lot, that gives you a basket of bread, a pot of pickles, and a tub of pork dripping from the grill.... this is one of my favourite things.

Skinny guys have heart attacks too - I know this from personal experience. You are right that eating these foods won't kill you...right away...

I hear you Al, my diet has changed considerably since then (after 20 or so years of military food that is).
But I still hanker for some of those goodies. In moderation of course.

·Right away Sir! Sir, what is this thing you speak of called Vegemite? Is it some god awful cheap colonial version of Marmite? Don't make me be the toast rack again Sir.
I went to an English Midlands Grammar School which wasn't far off this.

Mad Dog
·Not my Speedy Gonzales (I've only had it a little over a year)...but my beloved "Mad Dog Action Watch" (Seiko 6309-7049) that I purchased new in 1987 during Navy flight training. I apologize for the craptastic action pics of me wearing my 6309 but it's all I've got...
6309 managing torque...
6309 managing knuckleheads...
6309 managing thrust...
6309 managing Dunkin'...
So...pictured below is my beloved 6309 today at Dunkin' Donuts (pictured above its much younger brother SRP777) with its original bezel insert removed (which was was replaced with a slightly less worn bezel insert during servicing) as well as the after market nylon Freestyle band (on the left) which was worn in all the pics above. After almost 30 years of various management roles, I think my 6309 has held up fairly well. I mean...look at @STANDY's Seiko...it looks like crap. 😁

Sixteenth birthday present and worn continuously for about forty years apart from the occasional trip to a watchmaker who always moaned about these ******* automatics.
Building trade so six or seven days a week up and down ladders, scaffolding etc. long before someone dreamt up health and safety so plenty of skelps. Most of the day with hammer and chisel and again many a wallop and then we have rugby club outings which probably caused more grief than anything else😀
Survived pretty well,
Now in gentle retirement on the wrist of her ladyship,

I still have an old fashioned butcher who sells proper marbled beef and asks when you buy a beef joint if you want some fat to go with it to ensure you get a moist joint and plenty of dripping
I do like the dripping billy idea

·Nothing beats the taste of a hunk of home made fresh bread and beef dripping.Sunday night treat after a few beers to set you up for the week ahead.

You can't dripping on bread with plenty of salt. Makes the best roasties as well.
