The Taff of course!! A good Celtic river & himself would agree ...
Anyway we have to support our fellow Celt MyC ... don't we?

One for Peter ...

Rioja or Chianti????

'M'

Thanks 'M' I seem to be getting something of a reputation for my love of the fermented grape !
It has to be Rioja. I've visited the region many times (ferry from Portsmouth to Bilboa with the car and then mooch around up in the Sierras) Our local bodega has put their wine up to nearly £12 a case now! (It works out at 98p per bottle) It's a disgrace!!

Pitched or flat roofs



Peter

Depends what you want 'em for doesn't it?

Flat ones are always trouble in the end

Pitched.

Bacon or Eggs?

Bacon and eggs please - and some fried bread, mushrooms, sausages and baked beans. And then some cereal, and some toast and marmalade, and a nice big hot pot of coffee. Nice.

Shrek or Monsters Inc



Peter

Shrek - shrieks I! - He's Gorgeous!



glue or sellotape?

Well, sellotape in america is scotch tape which is good, but durex in australia, which is bad - so, what the heck - glue it is

As I'm watching Attenborough, I suppose we should try

Zebra or Lion?



peter

'M' sends.

Zebra for me - it's not much fun being a lion unless you're male! Us poor females get to do all the work while the old boy just lazes around, lets out the odd roar and then drives us away from our kill.

And Peter, you're not alone in your love of the grape. OOV & I like it, too, tho' 'tis true he's a malt man, whether in Guinness or in whisky. He'll be suffering now, because at this time of year, we make mulled wine to his own recipe which is superb - we have our own mulling irons, too, made by himself.

I'm watching Great battles just now, so ..

Roundheads or Cavaliers?

I've never driven a Roundhead, so it'd have to be Cavalier.

and as I'm scoffing my take-away, Indian or Chinese?

Ohh YESS - this was a truely CG poser!

Yes, I know Duw Duw has answered already - BUT - it is really a girlie question isnt it?

We're the ones who generally benefit from ..... well, I was married to a roundhead and thought 'twas best - but in my debauched divorcee years I have found that it matters not a jot!

Therefore, it would be most unfair to all men for me to declare for one or the other!

OOPs! Have I lowered the tone?

I have no idea about Indians or Chinese (actually that is not strictly true - oh my mother will be turning...)

I confess I like a Chinese to takeaway (my other half is half Indian - so I get the best of both - what a cheat I am!)



Caviar or fois gras?

fois gras. tried caviar once, didn't like it. but, keeping with the egg theme,

fried or scrambled?

fried!!! and the sooner the better.

I'm getting tired of scrambled eggs - OOV's the cook and I miss his big fry-ups.

And continuing the breakfast thinggie ... hash browns or potato bread?

'M'

mmmm.. Both?



dank and grey morning in Dorset....go back to bed with the papers or tidy the house...

I thought you all needed a real challenge for Sunday morning!

No contest!! Go back to bed with the papers & radio 4 - that's what I did earlier. The house was still there when I got up, tho' and I was weakened from listening to ISIHAC.

MMMh .... right now, or tomorrow?

'M'

the day after tomorrow apparently!!

winona ryder or oj simpson?

Ummm ... Akira - you can certainly pick them ...

Shop-lifting & spouse abuse,if not murder ... what a choice!!

Well ... if choice is mandatory & I suspect it is, well, Winona, I suppose .. lesser of two evils, or do I mean the more attractive of two evils? And what would dear old Sigmund say about that, I wonder? Not to mention OOV!

So, Freud, or Jung?



'M'

Oh, Freud, definitely. Oedepus over id every time (as they say....)

Queensland or New South Wales?



peter

Queensland, I think.

OOV has some Aussie friends who swear by Bundaberg rum - we still have a bottle somewhere, has a bear on it, I think. Me, I can't stand the stuff!! Shiraz is much more to my taste.

So ... lets see ... on the assumption that compund choices are allowed, Stilton with Port or Camembert with St Emillion?

'M'

Stilton & Port. Hands down. You can't beat a good stilton.

How about the kings of the blues; B.B. King or Albert King?

I saw Albert King live once with Jack Bruce in his support band, so I'm inclined to go for him, but after weighing up all the evidence, I incline towards BB as the King



peter

I'd go with BB King too - but where is your 'this or that' Piere, mon amie...

rouge or violet, mon braves?
