I'm sure it's not just me who scans down the new posts, and then has to do a quick double-take after seriously misreading a title. Or do you ever have a little chuckle at some of the conjunctions of titles. Share your momentary bursts of synchronicity and nonsense here.


Today's:

No-one Likes Wilkie Collins (is actually No name - Wilkie Collins.)
There's honestly no such thing as a stupid question -- but I'm afraid I can't rule out giving a stupid answer : : To Posterity and Beyond!

Charlotte Lennox with Adv. Novel underneath made me look twice if Annie Lennox had joined us :roll: :lol:.
Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated!

I always read 'The Scottish Chiefs' as the 'The Scottish Chefs' :lol:

Haggis anyone???

This was a while back, but for the longest time I thought The Defiant Agents was The Defiant Angels.

...which would be a pretty cool name for a book. Or a rock band.

The Scottish Chefs (instead of Chiefs). :roll:

EDIT: OK, I just noticed Esther said this already. Funny how so many of us read this one wrong!

LOL, Esther & David! Haggis---ewww!!! :shock: I've never had it, but from the description I've heard I don't want any! Have you had it, Esther or David? How about some cock-a-leekie soup? :P (My spelling could be off, but that's what it sounds like; I haven't had that either.) Personally I like Scottish shortbread! Yum!

I've heard one Scotsman say that when the food loses its flavor, "that means it's ready." Hee, hee!

Yes, Joy, I like haggis :D ...mushy peas and neeps & taters... traditional Robbie Burns dinner.
It's rather like spicy oatmeal :wink:

Both very tasty. Shortbread not bad either.
Alarmingly for Scottish Chefs, however, this year's world porridge-making champion and winner of the coveted Golden Spurtle is an American. :shock:

Our local pub serves haggis. It comes in what are clearly slices from a sausage shape with a plastic skin. Nevertheless, deep fried with a couple of fried eggs and some thick crustry bread and about a quarter of a bottle of tomato sauce it is very tasty.
Don't eat the skin though, it may be more hygenic than a sheep's stomach but it plays merry hell with the digestion!

Your description sounds absolutely disgusting.

Exactly, catchpenny! *nodding* I completely agree! Of course, I've always been the most finicky eater in my immediate family & in my large, extended family too. :wink: Although I'm not a vegetarian, I find that I don't really care much for meat these days; I can eat it, but it doesn't always agree with me. As little as I eat (light blackberry yogurt mainly) I'd think I'd lose weight, but no such luck. :roll: Too sedentary, I suppose. Oh, well. (I do like sweets, though, esp. Milky Way bars, so that could work against me. LOL)

Joy :9:

P.S. David, I know what taters are, of course, but I've forgotten what "neeps" are. I guess I'll look it up---or one of you can enlighten me. LOL
