Ceptic Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) Rabbit's fine as long as you have other foods with it, veggies mainly. According to QI, nothing but rabbit leaves you dead of mineral and vitamin leaching Now, that is news, Ian. In the inter and post-war1940's, my Mum filled me up with Rabbit pie and Buckshot. (I can't remember any veg, other than Carrots."They helps you see in the dark", she used to say) Apart from being advised / warned to pick out and avoid swallowing the pellets, I reckon I've survived pretty well since those 'Dark days' (Free school milk and school dinners came into play at a later date) Edited June 13, 2016 by Ceptic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other food of any kind in addition to rabbit reduces the problem. IIRC it was found out when gold miners in the US West in the 19th Century thought they were eating enough with just the rabbit but started to die off due to the vits and mins being used up from their bodies to process the rabbit.

It was (almost) our only source of meat because of the efforts of the politicians at the time... Anyway, I never did see any Rabbits around Dinting! So I used to take “rabbit butties” to collage, in the early eighties, where at lunch I would regularly spit out the lead onto the table to the inevitable questions of “what are those”.......... My great uncle “Ab” was a fireman at Newton Heath and once he got a “Form 1”, for depositing the guard on the Platform at Stalybidge, when he set off with a local to Manchester Victoria. The signalman at Ashton stopped the train until the guard could catch up. The guard later said that he had set off “violently” and that is why he ended up on the platform and thus delaying the train. My great uncle just cited the regulation where the guard must always secure the guards doors (to prevent them swinging closed due too accelertion) before the train is allowed to set off. Case dismissed. He's still going my great uncle “Ab”. Kev. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shortliner Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 ..anyway a "Lightning", (to me), is an RAF English Electric interceptor / fighter that - whilst not actually faster than lightning - was certainly faster than thunder! Kev. (possibly even faster than that mouse I tried to catch once!) .......and was certainly capable of making its own "thunder" , and breaking windows with Sonic booms. Standing it on its "backside" and heading for Dark Blue Sky, was a product of thrust to weight ratio, and an astonishing rate of climb resulted. Due to the engine positioning it was also capable of an incredible "skid turn" circle radius as well 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozexpatriate Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I'm quite sure that the vikings from Asterix and the Vikings would probably like "Stinky French Garlix Spam". If Obelix leaves any for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Clearwater Posted June 17, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 17, 2016 It's been an ambition to either travel on or model the iconic named expresses. This week I was pleased to tick another off the list - The Pines Express. I think it may not be a 100% faithful to the original... I wonder if someone in their marketing department is a rail fan... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
