My commiserations.
I had an old Honda that was a good runner (engine and transmission v low mileage) MOT in January so i thought why not it'll last another year so I paid for £300 welding then some bugger nicked it a couple of weeks ago.

>>>>>>>>>Corned beef I know as like Spam, but very fibrous and less homogeneous therefrom, made of cheap cuts of beef, shredded and mshed up, larded with fat, and, I dunno, maye some addition of cereal for binding/bulking. It's years since I've had it or even looked closely at it, and that was usually in a hash. Essentially, a kind of pate.
