Damn straight!! I haven't had a decent pastie since the early 70's down
in Adelaide.

The pastry had a lot to do with it as well.

Can't remember the brand......... Four & twenty?

To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one.
It is rather and endless struggle
that will go on to the very last moment of our lives.
Nobody is born a warrior,in exactly the same way that
nobody is born an average man.
We have to make ourselves into one or the other.
A warrior must only take care that his spirit is not broken.
