It was nice, but not quite as nice as bacon!I'm not entirely sure about putting black pudding on a burger, my friend.
Repeat after me... "Black pudding is not a replacement for bacon... Nothing is a replacement for Bacon... Bacon is King."
But I do have bacon for a breakfast sammich now though! 
That fine lamb is sitting pretty Pete.Thank you Todd. I did pop a cold can of pop last night with my soup.
Thanks Dwight, she is doing much better. Unfortunately I have tested positive. Other than some mental fog I feel fine however. This is my second time.
mouth watering, that looks amazing
Good morning Guardians,
I’ll be taking it easy for a few days so be forewarned that I may be hyperactive on the forum! I am watching FA cup football this morning and drinking some coffee. Got this lamb on the coffee table keeping me company. Have a great weekend.

Thanks Jack. I don't know about black pudding on a burger...
So true Tyson. I hesitate to say this (yes I'm a little superstitious - knock-on-wood). The USPS has NEVER lost a package on me in my entire life. (knock on wood)

Great to hear you are more comfortable with your lamb.Bright and sunny today! I don't think the tung oil treatment I gave this knife detracted from the rosewood at all. I also wanted to report, and thank this thread, for the advice on filing the tang to ease opening some lambsfoot knives. I found that even after repeated use, my knife tended to kind of "catch" after just barely opening the knife. I thought this might've been a lack of clearance between the tang and blade well. But, after measuring both with a caliper, there was plenty of room. Gently filed the appropriate corner of the tang and it really smoothed the action out without sacrificing the nice stiff pull I enjoy so very much!
Oh, it was UNDERNEATH the burger Dwight!Thanks Jack. I don't know about black pudding on a burger...
Think it's a first for me too! That's pretty impressive DwightSo true Tyson. I hesitate to say this (yes I'm a little superstitious - knock-on-wood). The USPS has NEVER lost a package on me in my entire life. (knock on wood)
Cool pics

Looks great 
Thank you John.Delicious picture, Harvey.
That looks amazing.
And tasted even better, was so tender and Charlie's Lamb just glided through it.
Feel better soon Bill. Rest and hydrate!
Bill I hope you find the bright side of health quickly. I always like those senator lambs.
Get well soon, Bill.
Very sorry to hear this Bill, I hope you are fully on the road to recovery soon
Captain on deck!
LOL!I wish i had not of seen this. Another Vice i am going to have now.
I can definitely see the appeal, there are some cool local radio stations, and it's an interesting window into far-flung places. I did some stuff on BBC local radio as a kid, and nearly went into it after leaving school. Back in the 70's, I listened to the English-language Radio Beirut, and I think they only had 2 presenters, one of whom spoke imperfect English. The other had an American accent, and was called Elaine Jay - "Elaine Jay - Everlasting Joy!" 
I hope he's better soon, and that everyone else is having a better weekend Thought I'd pocket my SamDamLamb! 
I sure hope the folks pushing for privatization over here are paying attention. It's an important public utility, like the electric grid and water/sewage systems, in my opinion.Thanks Tyson, it's more exasperating than troublesome
They have privatised everything, but the air, here Rachel. Water, sewage, electricity, gas, mail, trains, and all other public transport, and increasingly the NHS. It's been a disaster! Most of the utilities are now owned by overseas companies and governments, and there's little investment going back into them. The seas and rivers are filthier than they were in the 1970's, with sewage-strewn beaches nobody wants to visit, electricity and gas prices have increased many fold, with wholesale prices actually having gone down. The Royal Mail is barely functioning, train fares are the most expensive in the world, with so many daily cancellations, it's impossible to plan a trip, rural areas are often completely cut off from public transport, and even in the cities, the bus networks are appalling. As for the NHS, it's all, but collapsed, with huge waiting times for operations, and ambulances queuing for hours just to get into hospitals, people are dying in their homes, on pavement, and in hospital corridors. NHS dentistry has completely collapsed, with folks pulling their own teeth out, they're that desperate. I really don't have the language to describe the appalling mess this country is in, I'm not sure words have yet been coined. On top of this, inflation is into double figures, public sector workers haven't had a proper pay rise for more than a decade, and the national retirement age is advancing swiftly towards 70. Corruption in government is on a scale never seen here before. Among the workers currently striking or engaged in industrial disputes are nurses, train drivers, doctors, teachers, railway workers, fire fighters, postal workers, university lecturers, baggage handlers, barristers, civil servants, ambulance drivers, physiotherapists, bus drivers, midwives, court staff, paramedics, college lecturers, and Border Force workers! Many of these groups have never, ever gone on strike beforeI sure hope the folks pushing for privatization over here are paying attention. It's an important public utility, like the electric grid and water/sewage systems, in my opinion.
I hope all ailing Guardians feel better soon.
When I was in the post office yesterday, trying, in vain, to post an overseas parcel, and saw some copies of that book being sold off for a fiver, and had intended to buy a couple of copies. However, the line was so long, I'd have been waiting the best part of an hour 
Thank you Jack. I absolutely hate being down with a virus. For what ever reason it takes me awhile to recover from these things. I think that the thing I hate most is not being able to sleep well.Very sorry to hear this Bill, I hope you are fully on the road to recovery soon
Captain on deck!
LOL!
Good morning Guardians, poor old Bill, flu can be absolutely rotten!
