Really War Garden, do you seriously think you will have your work done for you?! That takes the biscuit, lazy or what.
There is a gentleman who features in Hugh Fearnley Whittingson's River Cottage programs. He is an historical culinary expert who has a collection of books etc. and demonstrates cooking medieval dishes etc. Give him a call and see if he will send you some of his research work. I have no idea what his name is but he is also a forager and takes Hugh out collecting wild plants to cook with, especially mushrooms.
and always take the cake nearest to you when the plate is offered, even if it’s the desiccated coconut one (which you hate), and the meringue (which you love) always goes to your brother 😞
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Were any of the current posters on the old BBC Gardening forum? If so, you might remember the arch troll/WUM, Grid, who had perfected the art of winding up other posters. There is, perhaps, a certain resonance here with WG . . .
I remember him well! Gridgardener in one of his many personas. Many similarities to this poster
Not quite a double entendre, @pansyface, just a colloquial way of saying I am pregnant.
My Australian former neighbour often used the phrase ‘full to pussy’s bow.’ It was always accompanied by a hand movement with a sideways palm moved above the eyebrows. An agitated individual was “up and down like a toilet seat at a mixed party.”
I wonder if ' no dice' might be the US equivalent of thank you very much I am most grateful for the time you have taken to assist me in my research because I am too idle to do it myself and too arrogant to acknowledge your efforts.

I was taught it is rude to say "I want". The phrase should be "I would like" and followed by "please". Basic manners.
