Dont know about you, but shouldnt something more akin to real food (not mass produced then reheated according to a manual by a spotty teenager) be sponsoring the food and drink section?

I want to get involved with the local crib team, and they have said yes - if I can answer this question.

Based on 4 players, and a box, what 5 hands will yield 24 points each? I need 5 compatible hands that will each yield 24 points without pegging from 1 deck of cards.

My father was assaulted in the UK a few months ago, and the police seemed to not want to proceed. He was hit three times in the face in his own garden. The guy who did it was cautioned.

The then, on two separate occasions drove his lorry through a corner section of the front garden wall, which my father has now rebuilt.

What would the costs be like to take this through a civil court, and can people independantly launch criminal proceedings?

We are taking legal advice, but any help or hints from people with experience of this would be mych appreciated.

I know the answer to this, but am interested in seeing how many others know it too.

What's the worst thing you've eaten?

My brother turned up at my house with a pheasant he had hit with his car - unintentionally - and asked me to help him pluck, gut and cook it which I duly did.

Any interesting roadkill recipes or experiences out there?
