Threads here are allowed to develop and divert as normal conversations do. One idea sparking another. Personally I like it that way ~ as I like talking to people in a real pub.
I have to say, though, that in all the of pubs I frequented over the past 45 years I have never met anyone who, for no apparent reason, pulls out a picture of a girl with a large bust and shows it round.
If you want to simply post photographs there are threads for that in the Library.

Something to do with your honeycomb.


Ingredients
75g/2½oz caster sugar
30ml/1¼fl oz golden syrup
30g/1¼oz bicarbonate of soda, sifted
To make the ice cream
600ml/1pint 1½fl oz double cream
400ml/14½fl oz can condensed milk
45ml/1½fl oz vodka



Method
1. To make the honeycomb, place a heavy-bottomed saucepan on the hob and heat the caster sugar and syrup until the sugar melts and caramelises.
2. Add the sifted bicarbonate of soda and stir well when it starts to bubble. Pour the mixture onto a greased baking tray and allow to cool in the fridge.
3. For the ice cream, whip the cream until it approximately quadruples in size. Fold in the vodka and condensed milk and whisk until firm.
4. Break the honeycomb and it mix well into the cream mixture.
5. Pour it into a container and freeze for at least eight hours, stirring ever hour or so to keep it smooth.
