Bit like dark meat from a turkey crossed with beef, or horse. It's not bad, but somehow I never went 'gosh wow, I must buy more of that' Same experience as eating hare. Yes, it's not bad. But I'd rather have lamb.. OTOH venison is something I regularly buy, as are wild ducks. An informative description, thanks. |

After 25 minutes of continuous laughter, Mitchell finally slumped on the sofa and died from heart failure. His widow later sent The Goodies a letter thanking them for making Mitchell's final moments of life so pleasant. |

I hooked up the boat up to the van, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day. I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed.. I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, "The weather out there is terrible."

The theory is that an excess of sodium ions (as opposed to calcium ones) in artificially softened water is as had as eating a packet of crisps every hour, although the amount of sodium in a pint of softened water is about the same as in one crisp, never mind the whole packet. i.e. there are three sorts of water: Naturally soft = no carbonates. Hard = calcium carbonates. Softened = sodium carbonates. I have a fourth: softened using a reverse osmosis filter and then through ion exchange resin. Nowt in it. |

But you sensibly ignore rules for electricity. I know what I am doing there. Its even easier with gas when taking out all the gas devices. |
