Sorry-- What's wrong with hummus? Billions of Middle East dwellers and their diaspora can't be wrong! I saw a similar thing justifying the consumption of poo and billions of flies not being wrong.

I am agog. Houmous is delicious. Genuinely one of my favourite foods. A proper one with a bit of olive oil to swim in and some fresh parsley and a sprinkle of paprika, flat bread straight out of the oven. There's a Lebanese restaurant here which does it to perfection. Must be my Mahgreb ancestors by way of Malta passing the gene to me. You fish gobblers up here in the arctic where nothing grows make me retch. Gollum likeses 'em live and wrigglin'. Juicy sweet. Not.

They wouldn't eat hummus. Deep fried spring rolls yes, but not hummus.

Here's an odd thing. Generally speaking, I prefer automatics. Don't mind manuals, but given the choice I'll opt for an auto. I used to get bored with the manual shift in the Qashqai after a short time. But, the manual gearbox in the Fiategade is a very nice thing. Don't mind the stick stirring at all. 6 speed thing.

Italian gearbox, see. I've been telling you lot for years how nice FIATs are to drive. Smooth and slick as a proper houmous, and just as satisfying.

Oh we are Fiat fans too. Had a couple of Pandas back along. Loved them until they dissolved.

Not. Al and I are in agreement.... Some nice warm pitta or laffa, maybe some ful (beans) or mincemeat on top and its a delicious meal... Even better eaten with felafel balls and lots of interesting salads stuffed inside a wrapped laffa. Abu Ghosh, an Arab village on the way up to Jerusalem lays claim to the best hummus 'in the world'. It's pretty... Now - back to Jeepiats

A slightly derogatory term in Welsh in South Wales for someone from north Wales is a Gog. Welsh for 'North' is 'Gogledd', hence Gog. But there was a series on S4C and later BBC called Gogs! which was a claymation sitcom. S4C is based in south Wales... make your own mind up why they called it Gogs!

Should try a Mazda manual then. They have nice gearboxes.. Which was why when my Mazda6 approached 4 years I think there was a problem with the clutch that never got fixed that made shifting to 1st and 2nd very difficult. I think the nice gear shifts possibly began with the original MX-5/Miata/Roadster.

Al and I are in agreement.... We like humous too. I see that Tesco now stock Greek style flat pitta bread. A bit thicker than you might have wrapped around your gyros with chips.

So did our Toyota, The gearshift was one of the few things I still liked about it after four years; very light and precise-feeling, like a hand in a velvet glove. I do miss changing gear a little bit. Not enough to buy an Orangeade, though.

Won't be all that long before having the ability to drive a manual car will be seen as quaint I suppose.
