Support my proposal and I will _personally_ prepare a bacon butty just for you. Possibly even kippers, too. ---

> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > Support my proposal and I will _personally_ prepare a bacon butty just for you. Possibly even kippers, too. Hmmmm. I’d think I would vote for anyone/thing who would actually deliver on that. But where will you get the bacon from? Best bacon butty I have had in years (outside of home/greasy spoons back home) was in the Virgin Atlantic Lounge at Heathrow. After 3 weeks in India/Taiwan, with a 6 hour layover in Heathrow, you couldn’t believe the joy of getting a real bacon butty and a mug of strong tea. That it was brought to me by a smoking hot Virgin Atlantic girl was not too much of a downside, either. ---

There’s a British-stuff shop in town that has Danish Crown bacon. ---

> [@tomndebb](#): > > … the notion that the lunatics who already employ chidren as warriors and bombers will actually refrain from using wheelchair bound nonagenarians is just dumb. Did you just say that **Chief Pedant** is dumb ? (What’s the difference between dumb and idiotic?) If not, isn’t your statement a straw man ? ---
