Spam Spam Spam Spam....

[Col ISIHAC.]

You might, as you meander through the finely honed and totally match-fit prose within this rather splendid organ; stumble across threads which appear to have been bumped; but at the same time, contain nothing new.

This is because I have been deep frying Spam - I hate spam and we get very little of it, thanks to Proboards, but just recently some random ingrowing toenail has been targetting us. It goes as soon as I see it - but it leaves an otherwise stale thread at the top of the page. No idea what the stuff was all about; loads of links that the wary tend to avoid when using a work PC, not in English - or any other language that I have encountered. Still. Just thought some of you might ahve been a teensy bit curious, that's all.




Spam Fritters, by the way; Wonderful things. On sale now in all good supermarkets - and some lousy ones too!

Well done, sir, the best place for spam is in the can .

I too have been frying Spam by the bucketload- I'm glad we can be of assistance to each other, Mr. Hawky- and am more than a little alarmed by the presence of several new members who are seemingly unable to spell a simple word like "basingstoke"

I just thought it was a new member with a really bad stutter.

Did you know SPAM stands for:- Specially Pressed American Meats. ;D

Just thought you'd like to know that.

It's the Specially that worries me slightly, though not enough to prevent me eating it!

In the same way that some people refer to people with learning disabilities as being "special", this is something formed from reconstituted parts of pig which would probably not find a use elsewhere!

There are about sixteen major theories as to the origins of the word SPAM, and they should all be taken with a pinch of salt ;D

My daughter is Special and she has learning disabilities but in no way is she formed from reconstituted parts of pig .

So is my brother.

And all my clients!
