Val, if it's rubbery it's not cooked properly. I only eat the deep-fried, chilli-coated squid when in London restaurants. In any other form, I tend to stay away from squid, it's almost always rubbery. In the Far East, they skewer it, barbecue it over coal and serve it with a sauce. If the squid is big it's chopped up after barbecuing; if it's baby-sized, it's left on the wooden sticks and u're left to pull tentacles et body off with your teeth- after dipping in sauce. I faint at the thought. Octopus has more of a crunch when cooked this way- the tentacles get crisp. I have pictures somewhere. LoL.

^am eating seaweed now. All that talk of sushi made me go get some supermarket variety. Squid, once!? I've lost count of the number of times I've had it. There was a time I would break my fast on dates, grilled squid and octopus. Who needs sambusa. Ya Allah, makes me want to travel right now!

I love seafood. Val, have you had octopus?

^they like to congregate.

and Zu. But she was too English-polite to tell him. Bwahaha.

and kangaroos.

^she's afraid of flying.

^ get some sound. Princess, u made me watch it today! LoL. The bubble wrap scene, LoooL. I walked by some the other day, a whole sheet of bubble wrap on the pavement and I had to resist the urge to stomp all over it- it's so irresitible. OMG, I'm black and nerdy.

^the guy does good parodies. I'll watch one a day..to ration the hilarity..

If u're a Sushi virgin, try the Supermarket variety, the fish is sligthly cooked. LoL at swan.

Oh, no they haven't. For us old trolls: cause we're bad

No, I don't have to agree. I was merely saying I didn't get your point entirely and I am now even further from getting it.

when I was in diapers, yes.

I don't comepletely understand you. Why does a tough, strong and independent woman have to be disastrous? I have never tried to be a man. Never occurred to me. In fact when I was a girl I would go to sleep saying thank you God for not making me a man- I found boys redundant. LooL.

^Well done.

Ibtisam, your Mum comes from the 'U're leaving Burco, come back again' sign-post on the road out! Tell all...

^ 3?! Then again I don't know how much caffeine goes into the lattes I drink. I should try Nescafe instant again and see if I need to increase the dosage or if I'm still a one-spooner. I used to be a half-spooner. I made an uncle a coffee with half a spoon of Nescafe and he nearly gagged. I thought everybody drank it that way. LoL. He makes his own hot drinks now.

I've had coffee one morning in the last week. Thought I'd suffer but no, Earl Grey has proved a suitable stimulant. Xaax, drinking it now in fact, yum.

Posh part of Burco. LooooL. Where's that? At the 'U're leaving Burco, come back again' sign-post on the road out?

So's the dude above me by the sounds of it!
