  1. heres a couple i found:

    Northumberland Caserole Ingredients:

    3 quarters of a pound (325 gm) lambs liver

    2 large onions, sliced

    half ounce (12 gm) seasoned flour

    6 rashers bacon

    1 ounce (25 gm) fat for frying

    half pint (300 ml) stock

    1 and a half pound (780 gm) potatoes peeled, boiled and sliced Method.. Wash the liver under running water and then blanch by pouring over salted boiling water. Drain and dip into the seasoned flour coating carefully on each side. Fry quickly in hot fat. Remove from the pan and then quickly the potatoes and onions in the same dripping. Lay layers of liver, onions and potatoes in a 3-pint casserole dish. Chop the bacon rashers roughly and sprinkle over the top. Pour on stock, cover and cook at gas mark 5, 375 F (190 C) for 30 minutes.

    SINGING HINNIES The singing hinnie was so called as, when the butter and the cream melted during the baking,

    it sizzled on the hot girdle and was thought to be singing. An old tale is told of how this large

    tea-time scone first became known as a singing hinnie.. a north country housewife was baking this scone for tea and on repeatedly being asked by her children if it was ready to eat, her final reply was "No, it's just singing, hinnies". (Hinnies a Geordie term of endearment for children and loved ones) Ingredients: half pound. plain flour

    2 ounces butter

    2 ounces lard -

    1 ounce currants

    half teaspoon salt

    1 teaspoon baking powder

    milk and sour cream

    Method Rub fat into flour, add other dry ingredients, mix to a soft dough with a little milk and sour cream. Roll out and bake both sides on a hot girdle.

    In order to turn these without breaking into pieces, use something wide

  2. It's my middle name!

    This is the one thing that baffles me about Scientology. They all know it was created by Hubbard, so what are apparently intelligent people doing subscribin to a belief system they know is a fictional creation?

    suppose they spike your drink with lsd when your baptised! ;)

  3. Monsta, you listed them as 'along the same lines'. They're not, are they?

    mercuryg dont be so pedantic! the mason are a secret society and so are the hashashins thats were the similarities end! just like the church of england and the scientologists are both faiths just one worships god and the other was made up by a sci fi author!

  4. I think you're being a little harsh there! It's quite clear that the Freemason's is nothing more than a gentlemans collective that has some traditional rituals; a number of those you mention above are about as far removed from that as possible, and are very much occult based. The Thule Society is nothing like the Freemasons at all, and the Illuminati probably doesn't exist (that's the original version, the Bavarian one, not th one that is rife on the internet as a new world order and is entirely fictional.) Scientology is, like it or not, a religion and I don't think many Mason's are assassins. Opus Dei is in fact not secret at all, but is merely a [art of the catholic church that is a bit more pious than the rest. Don't believe everything you read in The Sun.

    i never said they were the same! i was just pointing out some other orders and societies. ofcourse the masons are not assasins :lol: far from it !

    as for scientology now that is a mad cult!

  5. other secret societies along the lines of the freemasons include:

    ordo templi orientis,

    the back hand,

    Hashshashin (the order of the assasins)

    the knights of the golden circle,

    the thule society,

    the sons of liberty,

    skull and bones (thats not a pirate gang mind!!!)

    and the illuminati

    oh and dont forget "the scientologists" ;)

  6. No-one would expect minor routes to be top of the list but I wouldn't class the spine road as a minor road . I do think that if the powers that be got their fingers out and sorted out the main roads, bus routes and the areas outside schools early, they would be able to do something about the estate roads and pavements unlike last winter when several falls of snow were allowed to compact [as it did where I live] and teams of men with shovels were sent out.

    its britian a few flakes always makes the country come to a stand still!

  7. ....thining about that; when the ink cartridge bomb was found a few weeks ago reports stated that intelligence believed there were several other such packages en-route to destinations in the USA. Where are they all?

    they've probably sent them first class recoreded with royal mail! :lol: no wonder they never turned up!

  8. They are ill-fed, conscripted, misinformed, under-armed and poorly organised and the South Korean army, along with the 30,000 or so US troops in South Korea, would wipe them out in a moment. Numbers count for nothing when your firepower is outclassed. We, as in the UK, wouldn't have any part to play.

    heres some stats......

    north korea

    they've got a hell of a lot of subs!

  9. The Freemasons themselves will not speak to anyone about their Masonic degrees or their secret rituals. Although the Freemasons are the keepers of secrets they are also a group with amnesia. The Masons have been blind to their history since they came out of total secrecy in 1717. Some Freemasons say that they are descended from the medieval stone guilds; the other side says that they are the direct descendants of the Knights Templar! What is the truth?

  10. I'm interested in your comments, Harty. What do you see as Freemasonry's part in modern society?

    they couldn't tell you its a secret! you'll have to know the secret hand shake!!!

    It's a regular handshake, except the thumb presses agains the base joints of the second and third fingers. ;)

  11. North Korea has, at best, a handful of nuclear weapons of dubious capability. The army is starving and poorly disciplined, mainly conscripted and hardly committed. The weaponry it holds is outdated and would be no threat to any opposing force. Any threat of major catastrophe in the region is exaggerated. It's just the North throwing a few toys at the South to remind them they are there.

    thats what they said about afghanistan and look at the super powers that couldn't defeat a coulpe of hundred afgans with ak47's and toyota hi aces!!

    and any nuclear weapon is a threat how ever dubious it may be and don't forget china is a partial backer of north korea!!!!

    and also think about what happened with vietnam!!

  12. This is a photo of Netherton the way it used to look. Four rows of pit houses (there were more houses at one time, but i think they were bulldozed because of their bad condition) the club is on the right hand side over the `green` Up near the top left of the photo is a little shop and opposite that is the miners institute.

    didn't know they had google earth back then! :lol:

    can you get street view? :D

  13. The situation is one that was seen coming years ago; the Euro was never going to work from day one, as each country has different needs. Someone put it nicely the other day - go and ask eight of your friends, and a few people who you sort of know but are not really sure about, if they fancy opening a joint bank account.

    We - the UK - can't bail Ireland out; we're not part of the Eurozone, and we haven't got any money.

    your right we dont have any money as we've just gave it to the irish!
