Any vegetables must be boiled long enough for whatever taste/texture
they originally had, to be completely lost - including the salads -
and the meat must be so messed about with that you can't tell if it
was steak or kidney.

Messed about with?? normally they come in chunks of pure cut steak but the
kidney... uuurgh.. hate it in any shape or form. If your speaking from
experience you must have visited some really dodgy restaurants while you
were over here. As far as salads go.. they arent cooked they are simply
washed and put on the plate. Fancy boiling a salad.. lol...

Guiness is NOT a UK drink... those Irish folk invented that, begorrah!

The UK national drink is tea , made with milk, hot water (and tea of
course)... none of the iced tea you Texans seem to like. :-)

Steak and kidney pie is actually better washed down with one of the
Aussie lagers!

Isn't Ireland a part of the U.K?

Southern Ireland isnt. And most of Northern Ireland would disagree too....

This reminds me of a funny story:

Once upon a time there was a retired amateur going on a DX-pedition to
the South Seas in the spring of '78 who set up his equipment and
started operating... unfortunately a terrorist group decided he was an
worthwhile target and overran his station. Last thing we heard on SSB
was W4garble calling Mayday, Mayday, Mayday! hiss static. A few
weeks later a forensics team found nothing but charred wood and bones.
The leader of the team reported back to the coroner: "Looks like an old
southern ham got roasted at Easter".

But enough about Brits, who are otherwise creators of fine cars, time
traveler shows, absurdist sitcoms, and who invented the art of sarcasm.

Don't forget they invented the Lucas electrical system (I owned an MGB) and
whitworth tools (I also currently own a pre-unit Triumph).LOL

Warm beer sucks, but throughout history that is the way it has always been
consumed.
I like the people living on that side of the pond. Have they done something
personal to you that you hate an entire country?

Andre Craddock, M0SWB, proves that he continues to
be an INCURABLE CBER through the medium of his
Childish Broadcast (CB).....

Infantile and abusive......is there any difference between an M0
callsign and one of those issued under the gangrenous degeneration
that is the M3/CB Fools' Licence scheme? Seemingly not.

I don't know what a "real amateur" is and I, for one, have never
claimed to be such.

However, after a number of years of contributing to Usenet under
my own name and callsign, my family was subjected to malicious
and threatening letters sent by Stephen G Bryan G0SGB in 1998,
a matter for which the plods were involved.

His criminal activities followed on from an abusive, insulting,
infantile
and obsessive tirade by him in this NG, seemingly because he was
intolerant of those who disagreed with his CBers' activity of WABbing.

Such threatening behaviour drives one underground, and also serves
to illustrate, perhaps, the difference between a _REAL_ Radio Ham
and a CBer-Masquerading-As-A-Radio-Ham?

I don't have a problem with shame or embarrassment, I'm quite shameless
and I'm only embarrassed while during my carrier detector diode into a
heat emitting diode :)

But seriously, I think it a very bad idea for the FCC to continue to
publish names and addresses of licensed hams. Especially if a predator
ham develops a taste for minors. That, by the way, is now one good
reason to ban minors from having ham licenses... for thier own safety.
Sorry kids.
