RE: Get your kicks..on route 66
Was she generous with her gift, so that you can tell the family "Sophie gave me a case of spotted dick!" [:D]ORIGINAL: poodlebrain
In the strangest of coincidences, I actually got Spotted Dick from a female healthcare professional. My cousin Sophie, who is an Oncologist, gave me a can of Spotted Dick as a joke Christmas gift last year. I am pretty sure she was not unclean when she gave me the Spotted Dick.ORIGINAL: sprior
Always serve spotted dick with custard*
*Unless you've been with an unclean woman in which case consult your local healthcare professional.

I am open to suggestions for an appropriate retaliatory gift.

Hory crap! You can get it in Kew Gardens as well!
Now, the Mediterranean bit is not a surprise or Aspen or especially Beaver Creek...but Kew Gardens [X(] Is there no place safe?

Well, if she gave you a Spotted Dick, you can always give her a case of this:

Gift coupon to Pretty Kitty.
It's sort of a Brazilian company.
Do they provide certain teeth* bleaching services?
*I didn't really mean "teeth" in the line above. I just thought it rather crass to use the term arsehole, so I edited it out and replaced it in the name of good taste. What would this AAR be, were it not for the refined taste of its alleged "contributors"?

Sorry, but I am limited to telling the relatives "Sophie gave me a dose of Spotted Dick." Actually it was two servings, but what's a little understatement among family? And since I only ate one serving my statement will be accurate in a sense.

The triple and quadruple aces. 36th FS was the nursery for quite a few. They shot down hundreds of planes in the P-39 during the fight for New Scotland.

Richard Bong was a real guy. 40 kills. He died testing a P-80 jet.
The 90+ crowd. Not very many. Evidnetry JJ will have many dozens at this point.

No 118 Sdrn, RCAF is packed with aces. I guess it's the all-moose diet.

This is the middle bit. Apparently it was found in a garden.

Then they built a museum around the middle bit so they didn't have to move it - clever!
The front bit: is that large hole on top where the periscope for the driver would have been, or was that farther back? It looks very cramped, I hope they had a good retirement package.

I'll see if Saul will give you all a bid on the gardening. Pretty cool stuff.
