Shame on you, Reg, after what Jacques Chirac said about
English food.

Was that before or after an English resturant won both
the 2004 best resturant in Europe and best resturant in
the World titles? ;-)

They were probably French or Italian restaurants.

No. There are some French and possibily other country's dishes on
the menu, but it's most certainly not even the tinyest bit a French
or Italian Resturant.

The tasting menu is unique to The Fat Duck/Heston Blumenthal AFAIK.

the cuisine of the other British nations!)

"(... cuisine of the other British nations!)"

Now that is a total destruction of the English Language!!

Let's parse that a bit ...

cuisine ... commonly understood as French style cooking.

British nations ... commonly understood as Canada, or Australia, or New
Zealand, or Northern Ireland, or ... Britain, or ....

CONCLUSION: French style cooking of world wide english speaking nations.

Thank goodness he did not say Chinese Cuisine! Would that be Chinese
style French cooking or French style Chinese cooking? Ah ha! I'll have
Mandarin Duck over a French wine sauce flavored pork fried rice.

Most joking aside, you seen uuencode/uudecode in heavy use up until 1995 when the sudden flood of cheap computers brought all the "riff-raff-know-it-all-regulators" here, since then it tapered until you only see it in use on "binary mostly" chans...


Even with uuencode, Usenet had line length limits, and was and is
all text. Any encoded post shows it and proves it. If you want your
file to pass correctly, you limit line length, plain and simple.
Otherwise your uuencode **** is just as lame as your poorly formatted
**** is. Catching up yet? It was the same back then, and hasn't
changed. That makes YOU the one that is talking out of your ass.

There are other reasons as well, but this "Smiff" dolt doesn't even
understand the order of things, he doesn't play well with others. He
thinks everyone else should do as he does, when he is the dolt that is
outside the box. I don't care how ****ing long you claim to have been
reading and using NNTP networks. You're an abject idiot.

ahh, a man which knows good food!

I've got some cheese, crackers and italian salami here, you still got a bottle of that wine left (napa valley, NOT french, don't bring any fry's either!), we will have lunch! burp!


Even a frenchman knows more about Usenet than a twit like you does.

Sorry to all you frenchys out there, I just happen to know what my
lines are.

Beringer (napa) has a nice winery. Looks like a big castle and is
one door down from a superior culinary school.
