European Tribune member Redstar was found dead at home yesterday. A post-mortem determined he was killed with a large dose of Marmite-laced beans on toast. In addition, an army NCB weapons team later located a booby-trapped haggis in the bathroom, a large amount of glow-in-the dark custard, and a baking tray full of spring-loaded toads-in-the-hole. According to a police source speaking on condition of anonymity, the latter are "reminiscent of the chestburster creature in Ridley Scott's film, Alien (1979)". The Shadow Home Secretary has accused the government of "a cavalier attitude in the defence of British food and cultural icons". Later during Prime Minister's Questions, Gordon Brown announced that sausages will be banned from the hand luggage of airline passengers.


You're clearly a dangerous pinko commie pragmatist.

For the record, I've not anything against Haggis, it's really pretty good.

But to be more precise, it is also not english!

Thank you. You know that many internet forums and lists are poisoned by recurrent Mac vs PC flame wars. Well, I live in fear of British Food vs The World (or is it the other way around?) flame wars here in ET! ;)

Oh no, you just did mention Marmite. Now all hell will break loose.

Pancakes anyone?

Just had the last one unfortunately, with clotted cream and raspberry jam

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
