Well, in response to Miss Gomezcat's cooking (seriously): how is she with the Spotted Dick?

I'll go for FA premier league ... more intense than the World Cup anyways...the rest of it

As for Spotted Dick ...WTF is that? I would prefer a mole on mine...maybe a couple placed on the top a few centimeters from each other.

As for the mini skirts...Give credit to the originators however I prefer the spanish girls in their short black skirts over the English girls any day of the week.

Recipe to be found at: http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/s...in,839,RC.html

Just the stuff to eat if you're planning on entering a Vince Wilfork look-alike competition!

Anyway, I guess I'd rather have my dick spotted than moby ...

Nice list. I have my reservations about #5 and #6, though for slightly different reasons.

Alright then, spill it.

Nottingham women? (I've only been to London, Manchester, Blackpool and Middlebrough)......most of the rest of your list are shared by Ireland, etc., so they don't ring unique to me but I know what you mean. So let's have it about the women of Nottingham (all except Maid Marion).

(The viewpoint of our English brethren are somewhat tainted about their own country so I've dismissed heir lists as bullocks.)
