Sometimes long-term members would like to do that, in the nicest way possible of course, but otherwise some of us just resort to trebs of guano............................molten of course.............

Tank you.

Guano - ah, used by Heston Blumenthal in one of his celebrated dishes...

Pomegranate mousse?

Can't possibly be as terrifying as a piece of Fugu between your chopsticks.

You're braver than I am!

Weren't there pipe-smoking fugu posted on the boards a day or so ago...?

Well Countessa, I was staying with an Aussie mate of mine over there who had a Japanese girlfiend and we all ate a 9 or 10 course meal in a small Ryocan well outside Tokyo, and one of the dishes was Fugu - I thought nothing of it 'cos it was a fishing village and I was aware there were quite a few people still living there.

Nah, some frequent rocks and some frequent a location beneath bridges.
