You too.
Not a fan of supermarket pizzas! I find them detrimental to my teeth.
It rather looks like an early illustration for the 'What-a-Mess' books featuring a cartoon Afghan hound.
A little bit of satire there in his name?
The opening credits for the TV cartoon series 'Mr. Benn' (1971-72) showing Mr. Benn in a range of outfits.

Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse as their characters Smashy and Nicey, 1980s radio DJs about to play Bachman-Turner Overdrive, via a special lever.
Scary!
No. I have had it in a pie, but I tend to stick to my wife's pizzas and she is certainly no fan of haggis.
Great to hear. Once I got started on the hunt I had to see it through to the end. It is a very beloved series (and book) in the UK for people of my generation. Sounds like a great idea.
Now, while I have had haggis slices, I have never had haggis pakora. It is something I must try.
These days I imagine that Zenda would be at risk of coming under the control of a populist, pro-Russian leader and his 'double' might be an EU-back democrat put into place to 'correct' the course of Zendan politics.
Nice to see Cambridge rather than Oxford, being used for a change.
I had some great ones from Filey when at a B&B in York last year.
However, as the AV referendum showed, it is still seen as 'foreign'. Lazy telling of the Weimar Republic have succeeded in making Britons feel PR *must* lead to instability, despite the much longer history of West Germany using it. Ironically it is more likely to head off dictatorship in the UK.
I enjoy it with a cooked breakfast. I have had some delicious breakfast haggis in Stirling. I do really like kippers but these do not seem to spread far from Arbroath. I have had some decent tandoori salmon, if you are talking fusion food.
Yes, there is a sort of alternative Scottish cuisine readily available in takeaways which does not feature in popular coverage: things like white pies and red pies, king ribs and mock chops. I do enjoy a good cullen skink, but it is not cheap!

I have found the entire series on YouTube looking to be good quality. It is just 2 hours 19 minutes long.

I remember that they give the van driver something in his tea so they can 'borrow' his van and it is too strong so they only expect him to wake up decades later.
Sort of. He is kind of mischievous and amoral rather than out and out evil and it does have a rather bleak end.
We used to sing this at our school because our music teacher had seen it performed live, I think, back in the 1950s.
The one I prefer is:

Burton clearly was a Harry Bellafonte fan to use two of his songs in the same movie.
but we know she is not ever going to go back to that time as she can only ever do it through that house and surrounding area.
The book was published in 1939. I read it back in the 1970s after seeing the TV series. That had been updated to the late 1970s for the 'present'. The romance is not a big part, more sweet and wistful. At the end of the TV series the young man in Tudor times sings 'Greensleeves' for the protagonist
And:
"We can bomb the bejesus out of them all over North Vietnam." - Henry Kissinger, US National Security Advisor, April 1972.
Yes, I thought I had heard something like this coming out of the USA before:
“Bomb the North Vietnamese Back to the Stone Age” - General Curtis LeMay, October 1968.
This woman has zero empathy for any human life.
Well, I came close, though it is an entire book.
