Animals are continuously becoming extinct, even without humanity's assistance.
There is no opinion, however absurd, which men will not readily embrace as soon as they can be brought to the conviction that it is readily adopted.

;D. Are you still allowed them?  I had a mixed grill last night, with DR pave rump, Cumberland sausages, and bacon.  That was the last of the bacon, and it's not on offer at the moment.  :(

Them, yes, bacon, no. :( You might want to try the beef or steak & kidney pies, btw.

I've got four packs of the S&K in the freezer, but I didn't realise it didn't come in a pie.  ::)
