“...restaurants run by the wrong sort of people, such as an Eskimo Curry House... Or, wait a minute, how about a Slaughterhouse for Vegetables. Wait, I've got it, Protests at Vegetable Vivisection!!”
Ian Watson

Stewart Stafford
“I hate eating shrimp or prawns or anything like that. They are Chewing Gum of the Sea. You chew and chew for what seems like half an hour. Then, if you manage to actually bite into the damn stuff, this cold jet of fishy liquid squirts into your mouth and down your throat. Nauseating.”
Stewart Stafford
