Thanks.

I am used to eating prawns, tail and all, in Japan. Teppanyaki usually involves the legs, case and tail being separated, and cooked for longer, then squashed, so to speak, and then becomes very crispy. I use same procedure when barbecuing prawns, tail on.

Thanks. I cannot now remember the opera, it was at Covent Garden, and the male soprano was Polish!

Thanks!

Wonderful Thai flip flop!

Also, I believe that the Ottoman Turks practiced castration, got the eunuchs, by tying a tight cord around the testickes which would in due course, drop off! Not sure if that is true, but it might be less painful!

Nowadays a lot of the castrati roles in early Opera, Handel, for example, are sung by countertenors. However I have also heard a male soprano, and am not sure of the distinction. I suspect that PeterRS will know?

Quite right!

Hardly surprising, as many of the orders were for delivery over at least 10 years, or longer.

I have Jewish relatives, who lost almost all of their family in the Holocaust. They never talked about it. Demons of the past is a good phrase.

Interesting. We have all heard of rivalry between institutions, but that programme did not really explain, to me at least, why the rivalry is so vicious. We had rivalry, at Oxford, with Cambridge, but nothing like that! Why so deadly, and, as you say, long lasting. The comment from the vice principal, that he was a thug, but grew out of it, does not seem to me to be helpful.

Sorry, I meant an IL-62!

Or the majestic deserts.

My first trip to Cuba was on an IL96, Cubana. Basic, but I got there. They joked that the toilet was a hole in the floor! They made excellent mojitos! A friend of mine was travelling internally, when the flight engineer, removed the carpet, mid flight, removed some bolts and carried out repairs! They made it to their destination.

White hair, in my case!

I thought that might be it!

Does anyone know if drivers actually stop at these signals, and/or crossings?

What had they done wrong to get convicted?

My hotel is supposed to pick me up, for free, so I will ask them, a bit nearer the time, how things are going!

I hope you are right!

Do t forget the new $35 charge!

Quite a few of them may find they are stuck at the shiny new airport!

Indeed, we seem to have a fetish for renaming Government Departments, with more and more complex and stupid names. It not only stupid, but very expensive. Your starter for ten, is Suella Braverman better or worse than Priti Patel?
