No love for baseball, huh? Wow, what a difference. I probably watch or listen to at least 140 Cubs games a year (thanks to TiVo). And I expected football to be popular, but I would have thought golf would have been ahead of cricket and rugby. Hell, The Open is there - the most important, prestigious tournament of the year. And St. Andrews? That's on my list of places to visit before I die.

I guess it was silly to think Brits would follow our College Football. But if you'd been to "The Big House" (Michigan Stadium) you would see the allure of the sport. The place holds 106,000 people. Even as a fan of the visiting team, I was mesmerized by the place. Personally, I would classify Snooker and Darts as "bar games", but that's just me.
Pub sports rule!
Personally I would classify american football as rugby for softies! (joke. . .sort of :D)

I've seen a rugby game or two and those boys are a little crazy. They don't use any pads, so they get some man points for that. As far as it being for softies, watch this hit - one of my favorites. Pick it up at about the 53 second mark. The safety takes out two guys at once. That hurts even if your body is covered in pillows...

Cos they don't go in hard enough, they don't commit to the tackle.

Actually I think it's more the fact they can wear pad that lets them hit harder, but the biggest reason is that the offense and defense is split for each side and often one or the other is left vulnerable depending on the situation.

People who ride buses or any other form of public transport and eat, especially those who make that smacking sound with their mouths ... I want them all killed, along with their friends, families and pets!

I also want instructions on how to make a good cheese on toast, and I want it NOW!

:rofl:
Wow, that's a lot of death. Hilarious stuff! Never taken public transportation in the States, so I have no basis for comparison.
 
i've been to the UK before, damn so many women down there have big boobs, just love it !

Mrs Beeton: Bake 2 loaves bread. Slice thinly 4lb strong Cheese and toast over a hot fire.

Delia Smith: A lot of people are scared of cooking cheese on toast, but it really couldn’t be simpler. Firstly, you should buy some cheese and bread. Remember to bring both of them home from the supermarket. Then, carefully cut both the cheese and the bread into neat slices, although you will often find nowadays that the bread is already sliced! The slices of cheese should ideally be thinner than the slices of bread. Next, put the cheese, flat side down, on the bread, grill and serve.

Nigel Slater: Nothing more begs to be fallen upon and devoured than a jagged lump of Cortina or Spinbola seared onto really crisp grilled bread. Insist on the best. I buy my cheese from Jaqueline Singe of La Moisie in Hartlepool and my bread from Stantio’s of Oban. For pity’s sake don’t use any of the crap they sell where you live. Toast the bread in a cast-iron griddle, put the cheese on top, and then mix it with four pints of cream.

Nigella Lawson: The essential trick, that will make your toast ooze with chin-dripping salty cheddariness, is to give it a quick blast in a brick kiln. (Yes, yes, I hear you whingeing about the expense, but is it really too much trouble to have a small extension built, or convert a squash court?)
Tear open a packet of yielding bread with your fingernails – sliced white is fine if you’re a working mum like me – crumble a rough handful of any old cheese atop, bung it on a palette and shift it briefly into the hot kiln with your fork-lift truck. And that’s it, although I sometimes allot a sleet of diced pancetta to the dish prior to firing. And other times I can’t be bothered with the bread, and just lap the hot molten curd from the floorboards like a ravenous ocelot.

.... yes, but I'm sure Merlin is holding out on us.

Maybe I should just mix some weed in with the cheese again, that was fun. Or opium ... yes! that'll work!!

:nanner: .... :D ..... :sleep:
