Unfortunatly not as good as it was before 30 years, then I could eat a large pig´s knee alone, accompanied by a few litres of good Bavarian Beer and a large portion of potato salad then a large Pretzl to close my stomach. Now when I go to the Augustiner Bierhall in Munich once a month to meet up with ex collegues they sell roasted pigs knees as take-aways for €6,90 each. I often buy one to take home but together herself and I need two sittings to finish it off. In summer in Closter Andecs near Munich they also sell pigs knees left over from the previous day for €5,00,we eat the half and bring the rest home where I make an aspic pork supper with it.If Lowercase reads this no doubt his mouth will be watering.He loves coming here to the Vaterland but leaves with a copmlex as he gets a culture shock and is surprised by the number of intelligent, well mannered citzens.

Afternoon Tommy, I think I know the person you are describing ,his nickname was Tarzan I think and he had the knife as well, I remember him swimming at the Point ,there use to be a lane there that ran up to a dam and he use to take a rundown that lane a take a header right out into the middle of the lagan, as for myself I had my swim as usual this morning and there were only two others sharing the pool and it was brilliant, then the sauna which I enjoy only I had it to myself this morning consequently missed the craic, then had a shower and home to a late breakfast, Tommy I have got to the stage now that I have a guilt complex If I mess it, Once again Tommy great to hear from you and I hope this finds you both well, Kind Regards Ted

hi all,
strange to read how the cold is affecting you. completely different here in australia, we're in a heat wave here today is 30c and has been for a while. at night we keep the doors and windows open for a breath of air at night and lots of people in the shops for the air conditioning during the day. ah well, make the best of it.
