You realise most meals are a collection of ingredients much like pizza

Meals being a collection of ingredients?  This insight places you above most posters on the forum.  Thanks.  I'll never regard pizza as a glorified cheese and tomato sandwich again.

It's funny to think salmon used to be a rare and expensive delicacy. I agree it is merely an OK tasting fish.
 

My grandfather, followed by my uncle, had a croft in Sutherland and also worked in a commercial salmon fishery during the summer and would send a dozen wild salmon in a box in ice from Forsinard to Glasgow by rail.  My auld man would collect said fish and cut and distribute them amongst his siblings and other deserving members of the Glasgow Gàidhealtachd.

And no.  I don't see life in sepia tones.

Possession slow football with no tackles allowed and var is utter shite.
Give me 1980s blood and thunder over this any time. There was still utterly brilliant players and the game was much better to watch.

It's all age related. I would say 70s, @Jacksgranda the 40s, some of the others would say 50s or 60s.

And you'd be right. I'd like to see how yon Chris Ronaldo would do with Norman Hunter clattering him into the mud whenever he got hold of the ba'.

Don't get me wrong, I think we are in the zenith with the players around just now, but most are dedicated athletes, blessed with talent.

In those days sublime talent like Willie Morgan or Denis Tueart were alkies cut to pieces by psychotics like Norman Hunter and John Hollins.

Happier, simpler days.

Yeah, I wasn't really being serious. The game is certainly better now the talented players are allowed to do their thing without being hacked down by the cloggers.

Yer Hunters and Tommy Smiths didn't slow George Best down all that much..
Avoiding the psychos was also a talent. Not such a crowd pleaser, but a talent nonetheless.

Nandos is decent if you’re in town and want a quick bite before the cinema or something, far better than the chains that are usually around about it like Frank and Bennys or the Filling station and cheaper too. Never got the hate for Nando’s at all.

Alright, is there an eaterie called "The Filling Station", or is Throbbette a fan of petrol station sandwiches?

Hash Browns are superior to Tattie Scones.

I'm not keen on hash browns.

A cloche in a hotel I was in was labelled "hash browns". I never even looked under it. But on the last day, I did and it was full of tattie scones. I've never felt so cheated.
