Beef and Stilton are a match made in heaven, especially in a toasted sandwich.

Pringles always strike me as a very expensive way to buy evenly sized crisps!

The XXV (as in the AyA XXV) has a Churchill type rib (higher and narrow). It's not clear if the William Ford here has that. Not all 25" barrelled guns are fitted with the Churchill type rib, though quite. number are. A friend of mine has a 25" barrelled AyA, but a model 53 (heavier duty and side clipped) that was ordered with 25" barrels.

Yes, he is listed in the book as a contact along with numbers, but as the book was written around 20 years ago I didn't include that bit as I'm guessing it is out of date. He may still have the records.

I think there is a procedural reason for this. The ones that are 'stopped' are often 'Private Members Bills' and MPs are allowed to "Object" and stop them dead. Rules here; https://guidetoprocedure.parliament.uk/articles/NmenXnPz/objecting-to-a-private-bill You can prevent a private bill from passing without debate through second reading, report stage and third reading: You can call “object” when the Clerk reads the title of the bill immediately after Prayers. This prevents the bill from making any progress that day. However that doesn't apply to Gov't bills. In fact this "Object" procedure is often used by 'rogue' MPs seemingly just to cause disruption, but claimed to be because there has been insufficient debate. A Tory (Sir Christopher Chope) is notorious for stopping other Private Members Bills regularly using this technique.

And it seems that one of the main architects behind the start of this (Sue Gray) is about to get a seat in the permanent gravy train that is the Lords where she will sit as a Labour peer. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14203915/Keir-Starmer-cronyism-Labour-Sue-Gray.html Meanwhile, the WASPI pensioners`who were wooed by Starmer and Co having their 'full support' have now been told 'no chance', we are in power now and any support we gave you to get your votes has long evaporated no we have our majority Gov't. Anyone who expected a good outcome from any Labour Gov't lives in cloud cuckoo land, but even I never expected them to wreck things so quickly and be so blatantly dishonest about honouring their election promises.

It all looks nice apart from ............. the nachos. I don't much like the flavour of them, and they go soggy with food (or at least the ones I've had did). I'd prefer rice, pasta, chips or pretty much any other 'carb' to nachos with food.

Try a 'cream of horseradish' as although they do vary in heat, the majority I have tried calling themselves 'cream of' are not so hot. Just a light touch of horseradish makes all the difference with beef, steak, and many fish/seafood items.

English mustard to accompany the ham, but ideally horseradish to accompany the beef

Yes, He has "previously spent four years behind bars for preparing Jihadi propaganda". (Quote from the newspaper article linked in the first post in this thread)

I think not. We have a great many "King's Head" and "Queen's Head" and I have not heard that any Monarch has raised any suggestion that they were offended?

No, that was Corporal (Jack) Jones.

I don't thenk "The Gordon Bennett" is on the present list of targets. https://gordonbennettsbar.co.uk/home

I see that our leader has a team of 100 Civil servants working to tighten our ties to the EU. Now not only have we left (in name anyway) - but the two of the EUs most important (both economically and politically) are both in BIG troubles internally, especially economically. The EU doesn't 'have' any money of it's own - but consumes it in vast quantities and always seeking more - which have traditionally been paid by a small group of the 'stronger' countries Germany, France, Italy (and including in the past, the UK). Germany was by far the largest, followed by France, but both are in troubles politically (basically minority governments paralysed by opposition majorities) and economically. So our great leader wants to ties us in much more closely to this sinking ship!

It seems that some convicted terrorist that we harbour in our midst has spotted a what he sees as a cash cow - and is claiming that pub signs like "The Saracen's Head" cause him offence and so he's claiming (£1850) compensation from the landlord. It is alleged that if this first case is successful he has a number (30) of others similar 'lined up for milking'. The lawyers will of course do well from such cases. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14196175/Convicted-terrorist-sues-deeply-offended-sign-outside-pub-Saracens-Head-Inn.html Our legal system will be totally in disrepute (even more that it already is) if this goes anywhere except the dustbin.
