While there are reasonable and valid points made for full blow combat, with full power striking and full armour accuracy, I would much rather be associa ... |

That said, lying ... |

Not locally, but the honey done by my aunt is good quality - she's in the middle of the N.I.

That said - we're kind of ... |

Personal opinions, while very valid, can get out of hand. Especially when regarding a different style.

Hi all
Wondering if anyone has a good recipe for Garlic Butter - with or without herbs. Basically one that makes your guests go "WOW".
Any other type of butter would be nice as well
