sid,that sounds yuk,are we suposed to eat that rubbish.
Well, if Jeane isn't alone in preferring her men with a pulse, I guess the answer is yes. I'm not sure yet which is my personal favourite, but I find Lupins quite intriguing and will have to embark on some research as to how one is meant to make something edible from them.
Luckily has beens aren't included on the list!

My pleasure Colette.
And now for lupins!!! This, straight from the Food Standards Agency website:
"Lupins are common garden plants, related to legumes such as peanuts, peas, lentils and beans. The seeds from some types of lupin can be used in foods such as seeded bread and can also be ground to make lupin flour, which is used sometimes in foods such as pastries.
Allergy to lupin has been recognised for some time in mainland Europe, where lupin flour is used widely in food products. This type of allergy only seems to have started emerging in the UK quite recently, since lupin hasn't been used much in food products here. Lupin allergy can cause severe reactions, including anaphylaxis, but there have been very few confirmed reports of lupin allergy in the UK so far. People who react to one legume may also react to others.
Food labelling rules require pre-packed food sold in the UK or the rest of the European Union (EU) to show clearly on the label if it contains lupin (or if one of its ingredients contains it).
Because lupin flour is used more widely in mainland Europe, people who are allergic to peanuts or lupin should be especially careful when staying in other European countries or eating pastries etc. brought back from there".
I confess surprise as I long thought lupins were something only Dennis Moore was passionate about! Cue, Python:
"Male Peasant (dressed largely in a lupin suit) Try and eat some, my dear. It'll give you strength. (Dennis Moore reverently approaches the bed; the male peasant looks round and sees him) Oh Mr Moore, Mr Moore, she's going fast.
Moore Don't worry, I've... I've brought you something.
Male Peasant Medicine at last?
Moore No.
Male Peasant Food?
Moore No.
Male Peasant Some blankets perhaps... clothes... wood for the fire...
Moore No. Lupins!
Male Peasant (exploding) Oh Christ!
Moore (astonished) I thought you liked them.
Male Peasant I'm sick to bloody death of them.
Female Peasant So am I.
Male Peasant She's bloody dying and all you bring us is lupins. All we've eaten mate for the last four bleeding weeks is lupin soup, roast lupin, steamed lupin, braised lupin in lupin sauce, lupin in the basket with sauted lupins, lupin meringue pie, lupin sorbet... we sit on lupins, we sleep in lupins, we feed the cat on lupins, we burn lupins, we even wear the bloody things!
Moore Looks very smart.
Male Peasant Oh shut up! We're sick to death with the stench of them. (sound of a miaow and then a bump) Look. The cat's just choked itself to death on them. (we see a dead cat with lupins coming out of its mouth) I don't care if I never see another lupin till the day I die! Why don't you go out and steal something useful! "
Now, even I've had enough of lupins!

Hey, this was supposed to be dedicated to a pair of shapely breasts! Not a macdonalds beefburger party.

Oh, well if we've moved onto Python quotes:
King Arthur: I am your king.
Woman: Well I didn't vote for you.
King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.
Woman: Well how'd you become king then?
[Angelic music plays... ]
King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king.
Dennis: [interrupting] Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
Seems entirely topical.....I wonder if Camelot had PR?
True friends stab you in the front.
Wowzer !!!! Thanks Sid, you know how to cheer a girl up, any more pics????

Sid, that was somewhat of a flap! If the ladies see me doing physical exercise, they won't even look at that lot there!
Currently I'm on thirty pressups in succesion, because the muscels bulge, and when I ram the suspended medicine ball then, it just breaks apart!

So hold on a minute, this thread is called 'Star in a Bra' so where is the picture (no not those without bras already pictured, wrong type!). You cannot have a thread with that title and not have a picture of the star in her bra.....

Here is today's offering, by special request of Jane: One the count of three, all say "aahhhh!!!"

I think therefore I am (not a Tory supporter)
Like the pics Sid, but I'm wondering if you should not get out a bit more.
As for Alexander, can't you understand that we women find such competitions sexist and exploitative? No sane woman is going to get her tits out unless she is looking for notoriety. Vide Jordan.

Straight to the point(s), I like that Diana.
Tell them that I came, and no one answered.
