Frying.

Do you get Masterchef on telly over there? I'm known as Hop Sing here. Or more probably Hop Singe.

It's a mount for a machine-gun. Crew of three.

Flying sub?

No probs Graeme, and a good challenge (nice seagulls too!). The database error's seem to be an ongoing problem with pprune.

Well, I think it's American.

So how is the chicken??
Not bad mate but the batter didn't stick as well as I'd hoped. I'll keep my day job.

How do you keep up with it?
Thanks for your kind comments, much appreciated. Providing I update the spreadsheet daily it is not a problem just a case of "cut and paste".
