So what's the consumption?

South Australians, adventurous souls, have a development of this gastronomic crime against humanity, known as a "floater".

It's the "Ozzie meat pie". You have to treat the crust as a cup, otherwise the unknowable brown slurry within will deposit itself on you lap or your feet when you bite in. Tomato sauce is the obligatory companion for this gastronomic delight.

Thanks for that.

Glad I wan't drinking when I read that... About 10 years ago when England were in Perth for their ritual humiliation, Gower was at the mike when one of England's openers was felled by a blow to the goolies from and Australian quick. After the neccessary pause for breath and adjustments, said Aussie was beginning the run-up for the fifth delivery, when Gower drily announced "two balls left...". Man, I swear I heard the inside of the commentary box being sprayed with coffee.

Well, in Broome or Pender Bay, he's going to have a choice of Swan Export, Emu Bitter or VB to wash down the pies. Broome is three days drive north of Perth. Return air fare won't be much cheaper than to London, or there's a bus. If you want to get around, you'll need decent wheels. Broome is set in the dry tropics. In summer is horrible climate, 40 in the shade and humid. Winters are warm and dry. The vegetation is scrubby open woodland/savannah to the north and east, Great Sandy Desert to the south. Broome itself is pearling town, with some Japanese influence, because there h

Boags and Cascade are worth a try.

A wise decision. "I sent the club a wire stating, Please accept my resignation. I don't want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member." Groucho Marx

That's a "fail", isn't it?

Going from the general to the specific is a dangerous thing. My guess is you need a big cold airmass to make good powder, and Hokkaido has lots of cold. Sounds good to me.

Koizumi has an agenda and is being thwarted by his own party, so he is taking it to the people. Bravo. As for the outcome, its conservatives vs reformers, so it will be interesting to see the result,

Australia, home of the slurry pie

Yes, I know the north west reasonably well. Watcha wanna no? I may not have any answers, mind.

That's quite a gnarly question, e2. You need a warm air mass over the ocean, to evaporate lots of moisture. Then you need to cool it. Lifting it is the easiest way, so you can push it up a mountain, or up the slope of a cold air mass (a cold front). Turning all that water into ice is going to release a lot of heat, so if it snows now, it will from a warm cloud, and I'd guess the snow would be wet. My guess is that this is the normal situation in Japan. What you really need to do is to continue to cool that air mass below the temperature at which all the vapour has frozen, or dr

You could try the British colonial approach. When the natives are too stupid to understand plain English, just shout very loud.

In my home, the opinion is that the US knew that the war was lost, and the bombs were dropped as an experiment, or out of revenge. Just reporting: I see things a little less clearly. Here's one for the conspiracy theorists. The bombs were dropped as a warning to the Soviet Union, and Japan was a convenient theatre? When my father-out-law was called up, he expected to die, so he took a trip to Tokyo to see the lights and get laid. When he got to Manchuria, his main aim was to stay alive. Two weeks after the end of the war he was captured by the Russians (many were shot), and wen

Did you try pulling their trousers tight and holding them very close to a fire? That way you can get a lot of heat into the little tykes, without damaging the skin.

In Japan, you can get anything you want.

Flintoff. They cloned Botham then developed a new technique. The world's first thug transplant donor.

Probably from having plenty of time to worry about their own health, without the need to earn the money to feed themselves.

Victory by two runs to square the series Let's hope it goes to the final session, and England wins.

I had a listen to some of the stuff on that site. There was a piece bagging the BBC as a hopeless bunch of lefties for declining to label the London bombers as terrorists, but rather as bombers. Another piece bagged yurrup for allowing all these Muslims in (ignoring the Mexicans, as Catholics, they're OK). Then a couple more pieces bagging The Times (Murdoch rag) and the Grauniad. In the interview, they were tweedle dee and tweedle dum, pissing in each others pockets. I would really like to believe that US voters have a higher opinion of the world, but if self serving stuff like this
