Btw, did you want help with your avatar? It seems to have come out the wrong way round.

If that is the Voyager picture that Carl Sagan got them to take, then it looks right to me.Originally Posted by Letters (TPFKA [email
I like Vesta chow mein. But not Vesta beef curry because it burns my tongue. The curly things are best.
They still make that shit? I used to do it in the early 1970s as a student who could not cook. Once I'd learned to cook - and once I'd tried the real thing - I stopped eating it. Still, it will keep you alive till you've got round to cooking.
I also used to have a standard evening meal of a Fray Bentos steak and kidney pie and a tin of beans. Seemed to keep me going and gave me a good thirst which I and my mate would solve by going to the pubs on the Holloway Road to down a few pints of Guiness. (The Guiness was good due to the high Irish contingent in the area so it was fresh and tastey. I find it harder to get a decent Guiness these days because most pubs only sell it at a low rate so it is often stale and sour - all that bloody poncy filtered yuppie pseudo-beer and pseudo-lager crap being sold is to blame for that.)
I am not allowed to use can openers. and pubs are full of scary people who shout loudly and sometimes fight. Irish people sing sad songs and dance a lot but not very well. Guiness makes your number 2 turn black,
