BTW, I've seen this post *3* times already!!


As for the 'nachos'...... I've never been to a (Mexican) Mexican
'restaurant' that serves tacos or nachos. It's only the barstardized
Gringo versions that serve that crap.

On the same vein..........

Back in the 'day'.... at the Hermit Park RSL (circa 1977), women weren't
allowed into the Snooker Room, and at 5pm there were plates and plates
of boiled potatos with lashings of butter and salt and pepper for the
members (and players) to consume.

Nothing like half a boiled spud dripping with butter and laced with salt
and pepper to enhance your game of snooker on a full size table.
