Maybe 'Tsunami' as opposed to 'Tsumani' would have got a few more people interested? Spelling correctly helps. And ab-fab that you decided to show and share with us. I'm sure the thousands who've lost their lives (and their relatives and the tens of thousands that have been affected) are chuckling away. Especially at all you wankers who even bothered to respond to this thread.

Personal Opinion.â„¢ :von:

Mind you, if the size of the servings are anything to go by, I bet your guests were still still hungry at the end of the meal. :innocent: Apart from that small detail, top stuff!:notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

have we just reached a new low in self-congratulatory, back-slapping, ego-massage?

I'd still be hungry afterwards. Pretty, though.

Sufficiently reserved, RJ?
