Yes, I was talking to a United fan lately. "It's good when we win matches, Mick, but it's also good when we lose matches...." but I'd drifted off by then so I never got to hear whether it's ...

Tried filling a tortilla with grated cheese. Very disappointing. No wonder it's called Mexican rarebit. There's no chance of going the whole enchilada -- mince, beans, chile sauce -- I lack all four, ...
