We need more like you; and by "we" I mean "the world" as well as this blog which I must admit I've rather neglected over the last few months. Hopefully, the rejuvenation here and on Twitter over the last few days will atone for this and send a message of intent to our fine patrons (if they're still around.)<br /><br />You're not alone in your hope for the future - and appreciation for the humble Ulster Fry. May I be so bold as to suggest swapping out black pudding for some waffles? They go great with everything else, balance out the various breads, and crisp up a treat.Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09572223492497331612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154920345175419149.post-44310889186546708322010-03-17T00:32:31.452+00:002010-03-17T00:32:31.452+00:00fuck… I wrote an article instead of a comment :pfuck… I wrote an article instead of a comment :pUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08825241149106737471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154920345175419149.post-84353007969120436172010-03-17T00:31:56.992+00:002010-03-17T00:31:56.992+00:00I would have accepted the classic (I want to say i...I would have accepted the classic (I want to say it's delivered by Yul Brynner in Magnificent seven but can't confirm right now) "Where are you from?" *points thumb behind him* "Where are you headed?" *points finger in front of him*<br /><br />But in all seriousness, times they are a changing. Hopefully the violence dies down to nought in the not too distant future and some diplomacy can ease the wounds and settle the disputes.<br /><br />On an unrelated note, my faux Irish heritage reclamation tomorrow will only extend as far as a best of The Pogues album and maybe an ulster fry sans black pudding (though no black pudding means no smile)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08825241149106737471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154920345175419149.post-25396856048980030752010-03-16T18:30:48.537+00:002010-03-16T18:30:48.537+00:00I share your hope, sir.

Weirdly I found myself on the defensive when reading through the earlier paragraphs - how strange is that? Defensive about a TV show that I have not made, nor had any part in other than watching it every lunchtime! I guess in some way that's testament to how great the program is, so great that I found myself wrapped up in the 'kitchen sink' drama and the endless, yet witty, dialogue that talks about nothing! <BR/><BR/>Anyway I'll stop my rambling as I'm beginning to sound like a fan page, but glad to see that despite the apparently unsatistfactory depiction of male characters you weren't deterred from the show.<BR/><BR/>The series has finished now (forever!) and I for one shall miss it - I take it you will too?<BR/><BR/>All the best.JessHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04301800941873417433noreply@blogger.com
