The Neverending "CONNECT THE PICTURE" game

tasty thai insect "appetizer" platter

I think I'll just have the antipasto...

let's add some blood pudding - very nutritious and tasty (really !)

And some nice haggis

snakes and SNAILS and puppy dog tails.

Escargot is delicious.

We went to a restaurant in Montmarte and i had escargot and steak tartare. The maitre d' was most concerned that I knew what I was eating (ie snails and raw meat) - nice of him to be concerned. He was actually a great guy - drop into L'Saggitaire and say hi for me.

This is the apartment we stayed in. Gotta love Paris

Agreed, hingehead.

Not bad here, either.

Paris, Kentucky

Back in France for the lavender fields of Grasse.

She is indeed a bit fat. (Elle est effectivement un peu grasse)

Too much of this, methinks.

..and for the coup de gras

Grâce au restaurant automatique

Better Coup de gras that fois gras



And thanks to everyone who didn't post pics of Paris Hilton....

Poached and hunted to the brink of extinction for the sake of its roe for caviar.

Endangered because of its pretty coat.

also somewhat threatened ... ...

Probably went the way of this fellow who turned out to be a hoax, hbg. The Piltdown man.

On side two at 11:55 Mike Oldfield 'plays' Piltdown Man



Piltdown man - The 'caveman' vocals that are on part two at 11:55. Mike had recorded all the instruments on this section, but thought it needed something more...just nobody was sure quite what. As a crazy idea had after drinking rather a lot of whisky down at the pub local to The Manor (according to one interview...another says that Mike found the whisky in the cellar of The Manor), they ran the tape at a lower speed while Mike shouted and screamed drunkenly into the microphone. With this, the caveman was born. Piltdown man refers to a famous archaeological hoax done with parts of human and monkey skulls put together, which were claimed to be the 'missing link' between man and ape.

"The Singing Ringing Tree is a panopticon - a 21st century sculpture, high on the moors at Crown Point near Burnley. Chrome hollow pipes are welded together, when the wind blows through them it makes strange and wonderful noises.!"

WOW - no pic.... just (waves) to all pic posters x
