Subject: RE: Origins: Lincolnshire Poacher
Just Googled Lincolnshire Poacher - cheese, magazines and This, which I found particularly fascinating.

So what's the fare on Wednesday then? Cheese, fruitcake, vicious mustards, starry-gazey pie, tongue sandwiches, blood puddings and potted hough... We'll bring our own candles, and incense (Prinknash of course), though I suggest we make this year's sacrifice symbolic - or virtual - who could have believed such a wee bird as a robin could have so much blood in it? I will weave something suitable out of cornstalks, or else create one using the CGI programme I got for Xmas.

I've just this minute created a CGI animation of myself singing Auld Lang Syne - uploading it onto You Tube as I write...
