We're about 70 miles away (I think). Driv, you're right about Aussies going to England being a rite of passage. So many do it because they can make it a working holiday. Not so in the U.S., because it's illegal to work here without a permit. I've been to England too, but when I was a little girl. My UBB

You guys have a real 'upbeat' attitude towards life. The guys in my gym are the *best* personal trainers I've ever met. They are genuinely into what they do.

Also fed the dogs, ducks, checked our swine, and oiled the clippers so my wife can give me an uneventful haircut. Hat head is SO out of style now a days.

Real Roasties.... Skin the spuds Parboil for 5-8 mins. Drain, shake & bruise with flour MAJOR EDIT - My wife has just told me... You should put a roasting tray/ pan into the oven for 15 mins first, so that the oil is hot. This helps give the spuds the 'correct' colour and consistency. What the heck do I know? Roast for 1hr 20-30 mins with a clove of garlic.... Even these don't look anyware near as good as my missus does. Looks like they aven't been bruised - says me, the guy who can't boil water.....
