I am really curious about how they taste. There challenge “How many you handle?” makes me think they must be something special.

kiddie pub thing
What is that?

I guess no one else finds this interesting(no one else posting :frowning: ). I, however, am fascinated. Tutor me, you two great British statesmen.

This website [http://www.mrbrainsfaggots.com/](http://www.mrbrainsfaggots.com/) can explain the mystique of this traditional English dish far better that I can. Just don't ask about "Toad in the Hole" :)

“Kiddie pub thing” = outing with parents to pub during which you got to sit in the “garden” (loosely defined), 'cause you couldn’t go inside, and if you were lucky got a soft drink and a bag of crisps.

So in other words, your parents go to the pub, get “hammered”, while you sit outdoors in the rain eating a bag of “crisps” and a soft drink? :smiley: :smiley:

The people have spoken.
41% responded: I like pie.

This is scientific proof that people like pie.

Here is a new question.

There seems to be a lot of British (very broad generalization, ie New Zealand, Austrilia, Canada, England) people using WD. In the US, there is a mix of which software everyone uses (WD, VWS, etc). However, it seems like some of those countries mentioned, seem more heavily WD. So the question is, is this a new British Invasion? Is Brian the John Lennon of the 2000’s?

I was taught that pie are squared, but seems in reality most pie are round?

I have even heard of cubed pies. Its a strange world.

A British culture update from Wired today;

Last Call
Most pubs offer a game of darts or a packet of peanuts to go with their beer, but a London pub has something more lasting on the menu – a final resting place. Regulars at the Church Inn don’t have to leave their favorite drinking spot even when their time on Earth is up – landlord Julian Taylor has turned a field next door into a cemetery and locals are buying plots. “One regular has even asked his friends to take their pints out into the cemetery on Friday nights after he dies – in memory of his happy nights in the pub,” Taylor said

All is now good… I now know I will be able to R.I.P. when I die knowing that there is a place known as heaven. It is a graveyard where you can place a standing order and get it delivered for ever. Amen

Of course, ever other friday night he will be getting pints as well. After they have been consumed 8O

that there is a place known as heaven.

All I have to say is that, it better have the best tasting peanuts, or I would raise hell :twisted:

Sorry for the pun :oops:

As they say, “you are only renting the beer”…

Only in the UK as they say!

Just stumbled upon this little chat and it made me smile. but think how hard it is for an English chap like myself to translate British English to another language. I once told the President of Croatia that I would be pissing to him in the next few weeks. well to pass information is almost the same as the word for passing water.
