That thread had such hilarious photos, @tabbytom!
Bit sad, if unsurprising given it started eight years ago, that so many of those cats and members aren't on the site now ...
Hard to say. I've only been on five in my life - going overseas is a massive, expensive undertaking from Australia to Europe or the Americas, the only places I've wanted to see. None of them was undilutedly great. I would say in some respects the first was the best - England and France in 1989...
Depends what's in the side, really. Potatoes are my favourite. I like salads as long as they're not drowned in mayonnaise. Cooked vegetables are fine but if I never see another plate laden with boiled pumpkin and/or carrot it'll be too soon.
