No ones posted anything for over eight hours and I was bored - its lunch time and I was looking for a little light reading - so I will kick off a new Lounge topic.
I just had a very nice apple for lunch. It was a Jazz (mmmm nice) variety, succulent, crisp and bursting with juicy flavours.
Touchy subject - I haven’t any lunch, and I forgot my wallet today so I can’t even buy any.
Eek that’s not good. I did that about two weeks ago and I was in work really early and finished late so I was completely exhausted at the end of the day. Definitely feeling for you on that one Andy.

How was your lunch?
Lunch? I ate dinner only an hour before your post. That’s life in Asia.
Anyhow for lunch I had some really lousy convenience store bread washed down with crappy canned coffee - Yeah for Tuesday’s and only 5 minutes for lunch.

Where’s all the vending machines or vendors that accept PayPal/SCM. Did you try googling one on your favorite .mobi site?
I go out for lunches or stay in and get a vendor sandwich from the “wheel of death” machine (it’s not that bad really), or rarely pack when there’s leftovers and I’m not being too lazy.
So, you’re one of the, and I quote, “unruly southern British English speakers”, unquote? In American English as well as for “the majority of British English speakers”, the meaning is clear: a long outer garment worn at the hips, aka “trousers”.

Why southern? In the UK pants are under garments no matter where you reside. I have never been a southerner and find that quite offensive

Note: insert smileys where appropriate.
I don’t think there’s a smiley that represents what I am feeling after reading that!!
Ah this is more like it - a fight over pants. Mark is right - pants are underwear in the UK. The word pants is also used here (especially in my household) as a mild expletive when something goes slightly wrong or awry: “Oh pants…”.
Back on topic: Today I have some Red Williams pears. These are from Argentina. They have a rosey red blush and melt in your mouth.
@BlueSkies - my Jazz was indeed from good old New Zealand! However in future they may well be English as there is a farm over here that has been maturing an orchard for the past couple of years getting ready to produce the variety.
On XFM (London alternative radio station) this morning Alex Zane was discussing the increase of squirrel as a ‘green’ food product in the UK. Who is having squirrel for lunch today?

Don’t know if you remember them as well Simon or whether they still make them or not but I remember “when I were a lad” that there used to be Hedgehog flavoured crisps at one point. What I want to know is how the he** did anyone know what Hedgehog tasted like. Surely they didn’t scrape some roadkill up and try it did they?!!

Hey, I was just quoting Wikipedia. Given the tone of the article, and the list of edits, it will change soon enough, I’m sure.
Was only kidding about the offensive part hence the big smiley
