Had to edit that last posting a few times. Nice being able to do so.
I had a most magnificent scotch egg and minestrone soup for dinner tonight. Very fine winter fare. I bought some beef cheeks on Thursday, they'll go in the slow cooker sometime later in the week.
And there's a smoked ham hock in one of the freezers that's gonna become pea and ham soup in the not-to-distant future.
@streakmachine My mother does but we spell the word as cheque. Banks do as well, a cheque from a bank is used for large transactions like buying cars or laying down deposits on property.

Back in the days of the Roman Empire, the famous Emperor Nero instituted a new game. The players would take those little discs you set your glass on in order to protect the furniture, and see who could get the most distance rolling them across the floor.
They were the first roller coasters. Back in those days, the disks were made of iron, and they would bet on whose disk would roll the farthest.
They called them ferrous wheels.
@matigo I was being ironic. Just that you had a chance to fix the original post.
