Does that apply in Scotland also? If it does, Eulalia, my visit is canceled. I'd love to cum and whip you girl, but warm beer, and now no pizza!

Real, good pizza is as rare as hen's teeth in Britain, even in Italian pizzerias.. As I said to Bogo just now when he showed me that, yuk - you see what ghastly rubbish gets put on British pizzas! I admit I used to get pizzas from a reasonably good Italian place where I used to live, but since I moved back to the Forest, I don't think I've eaten one (perhaps a slice or two at a buffet). Obesity - malnutrition really - is a real worry in the poor parts of Scotland, people can't afford to feed their kids properly, and naturally the bairns want food that fills them up - lots of sugar and starch.
But we do have some very good beer in Scotland.

The beer sounds good, but I do my best beating with a whip in my left hand and a good slice of New York Style folded up in my right (have to keep them straight, not for hygiene, but pepperoni grease makes it hard not to lose the whip!) for energy and stimulation of more senses!
I'm reconsidering the trip.

Perhaps we could meet at a house I know, up the Hudson from NYC (plenty of good pizza there) with a built in dungeon and a sweet older couple who would welcome us despite them bickering all the time.

I've only had New York pizza once and that was a long time ago; but I know many people (mostly New Yorkers, of course) swear it's the best. Turns out its not the pizza or the grease...its the water:

Compared to the march of folly going on across La Manche the last two and a half years, this sounds like peaunuts (oops - too much calories either?)
.Oh irony : originally, in Italy, pizza was the food of the poor. A cheap and efficient one pan meal to get calories and vegetables.

This confirms what I remembered reading - Pizza really only achieved wide popularity after WWII, as US soldiers returned from Italy. That is when many of the current varieties date from.
My son can make an excellent Pizza, but sadly he can't usually be bothered and just buys ready-made.

Heard last night on "Mock the Week", the part where the contestants come on one by one and make some humorous comment.
Lady contestant:-
"If you are having difficulty whipping to a stiff peak* - Try gently cupping the balls"
Bom, Bom.
(*Usually meant for egg whites in the making of meringue.)

She asked : "Would you like too see my wine rack in my cellar?"
Or at least, that's what I understood, since she meant 'my whine rack'!
Anyway, I was upside down by it!

Even when she asked me to strip and have myself attached to the rack, I did not realise I wanted me to be her Grand Cru Supérieur!
Racking ... is a method in wine production of moving wine from one barrel to another using gravity rather than a pump
yes, that's the idea...
And why would you be skeptical when I tell you I think I've just achieved enlightenment?Meditation
Certainly sounds like a "Divertimento" to me. Who knew classical music was this cultured, eh, what?A very odd video I came across on YouTube - I picture a very civilised gentlemen's club,
The Drones perhaps, Wragg and friends order a carafe of Madeira, settle down in the leather armchairs,
and enjoy an evening with Mozart and some nearly naked ladies!

You're very lucky that Barb hasn't seen that crack about "older couple". The bickering is OK though (who wouldn't bicker over her deluge of complaints?).
We've got a pizzeria near me that the Brooklynites say is as good or better than the pizza there, though our water comes from near where NYC water does, so who knows?

Maybe she's getting too old to notice things like that.

How do you phrase it?The last one reminds me of my wife when I make a joke about her tight little getting bigger
"Big tight little?
"Tight bigger?""
