Neigh, lad!!

Waitress to customer--- "Would you like anything on your burger ? "

Customer -- " I'll have a fiver each way "

A variant of this was in Edge's #120!

[ahinton]

Maybe even a point-to-point...

!!! - or indeed a note to mount...

It is the posh pronounciation for a hospital for the terminally ill.

Indeed so (as I'd have expected Mr Pee to realise without the need for your correct explanation), just as "pronounciation" ISN'T a posh version of "pronunciation"...

That one's been done already already (can't be bothered right now to look up the specific post number reference)...

Birdwatching in Croatia, we spent time in the Lonsko Polje national park, on the flood plain of the Sava SE of Zabreb. One of the features of this area is the population of rare Posavina horses. Over a dinner of carp, a local restauranteur explained to us that, pace what it says on the websites, the principal reason for the breed's survival is that they are highly prized as the principal ingredient in luxury Italian salami.

Lonsko Polje is also home to the water-loving Turopolje pigs, and their principal predator, the white-tailed eagle, who pick off stranded piglets before they can swim properly.

"Zagreb" and "restaurateur", s'il vous plaît! Otherwise interesting!

Anyway, if this alleged "scandal" reaches its ultimate unnatural conclusion, it could very well mean that "horse" is "off" - in which case I do hope that those here whose principal interest is piano do not feel unduly discouraged ever to discuss Horszowski again here...

How do you know ?

I've got a bit between my teeth

Ultimate conclusion? What other ones are there?

if there were government enquiries over this, wouldn't they have " initial conclusions", interrim conclusions", "provisional conclusions" and so on?!

Blimey. Talk about laboured. Don't give up the day job.

Bloody hell! More false endings than a Tchaikovsky ballet score!

Why is everyone assuming its horse meat? We've been told that it's horse DNA that's been found, so it's just as likely to be horse semen.

I thought that was an urban myth ?

[Barbirollians]

In face it appears to be ground up horse used to make protein powder to bulk out the "meat" . Utterly disgusting .

It's very difficult to give up something that one has never had, Mr Pee; have you ever done that yourself? As to the suggestion of "laboured", I should put your remark in proportion by observing that I "laboured" upon that post for no more than half a minute all told. You seem to be horse de combat...

Better then than a Delius myth whom I'm sure would never touch them...
