      It's like the original, only without the ability to deliver a joke.

        Sounds a bit fiddly and boney. I mean quail aren't much larger than pigeons are they? I'd sooner have a turkey leg.

          Smaller than pigeons, normally you'd get one whole as a starter.

            I was once in a posh restaraunt with some friends who had brought along some other friends.

            The first course was ordered and the friend-of-a-friend chap ordered fish - "Can I have the Turbo please" (as in the turbocharger on a car)

            I picked up on this and told him that the 'T' wasn't silent on the fish 'Turbot'

            He then went on to order dessert and asked for the Sorbet - stressing the T on the end

            It was like having dinner with the Trotters!

              They're something of a delicacy I hear.

                  Was once in this Chinese restaurant, having dinner with the neighbours. We ordered loads, drinks loads and were fairly tiddly come the end of the night.

                  Me and sy02 have this thing where when we toast, we say "chinky, bloody chinky" in a sort of terry Thomas voice, what what!

                  The manager of the restaurant wanted to show his hospitality as we had spent rather a lot, so at the end of the meal we all got a round of shots for free !!

                  And sy02 and I toasted in our usual way. Our neighbours froze on the spot and wouldn't join in. Funny we thought.

                  Then on the way back to the car they explained their problem with us. Using the word "chinky" was getting us some looks.

                  Completely innocent on our part as we meant it in the onomatopoeia sense. How we larfed
