well they managed to stop the "lemmings Fiscal Cliff" I see, but I am still not convinced that it is over, give them a couple more weeks and it will be looming again.

Hey Pete, I was looking at the thread with the Cayanne pulling against the Pickup. It got me to wondering how much torque the average 18 wheeler has. About what is the toque on your semi?

Thanks Pete, I figured it was a lot.

Richard, yer welcome. The black eye peas were good. For the Yankees and folks for the other side of the pond, eating black eyed peas on New Year's Day is a southern tradition to bring good luck. A local restaurant gives everyone a small bowl of them to customers. We make sure to eat there every New Years Day.

We get all sorts of cards, as shown by Dave's link. We also get the northern hemisphere type ones too.

And the hangover wasn't too bad. It was pretty much over by the time I finished my breaky (juice, bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, tomato, 'shrooms, sausages, and coffee). I drink a fair bit of water between the alcoholic drinks when it's a big binge, and more again before snoring.

Was quite tired though, spent most of yesterday snoozing in front of the telly.

Oh, Evening all

It can also be made using cucumber. This is a nice one to sip 'on the rocks' with a slice of fresh cucumber in it.

Beth and I watched The Hunger Games. Okay why did this movie get such accolades? When are they going to start actually making good movies again? You know like Amadeus
