Can I swap the spinach for mint, and the garlic for sugar?

It's a pint glass with the rim coated in garlic; two thirds vodka, one third Curacao and a third chocolate sauce. Ice and spinach leaves to taste. A shot of Tabasco freshens it up. Best drunk at breakfast.

And the water shouldn't be too cold either, both "burn" the water of life. allmyownstunts on "Haukus" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=3324#post-9651 Tue, 27 Apr 2010 19:03:28 +0000 allmyownstunts 9651@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ another thing he'd say: if he was asked if he wanted water in his dram he'd say 'yes please, if there's room...' allmyownstunts on "Haukus" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=3324#post-9650 Tue, 27 Apr 2010 18:58:23 +0000 allmyownstunts 9650@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ Okay, fix me a mandala, Plucky.

What is going on in here? The Japanese Buddhists would have little time for your squabbling. Mary and Stunts, I am particularly surprised at you. Now I suggest a few deep breaths and the contemplation of a mandala or two.

Oxy.... ....I think you'll find that my mate stunts was here first, and she's been using that for as long as I can remember. So don't go picking on her, right (And wouldn't it be more sensible to have your name as your signature? Avoids so much confusion with the credit card slips, dontcha think?)

Evans, oi yourself! Sorry Mazza, didn't see that excellent riposte at the time. Re shindig, I think I'll be in the UK from June 7th for about 3 weeks. Sometime between Monday 21st and Sat 26th is probably best for me. It would be wonderful to gather a pack of biscuits together for a few drinks and pregnancy stories, not sure where - did London work well last time? I'll post something more visible in a sec.

Haiku poetry has strict construction rules. Each poem has only three lines, 17 syllables: five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, five in the third. Haikus are used to communicate a timeless message often achieving a wistful, yearning and powerful insight through extreme brevity - the essence of Zen. ----------------------------- Your file was so big.
