Well, not so much actually! The right to solemnise marriages is not a recognition of anything in particular and never has been. I'm pretty sure that Scottish blacksmiths were never considered a church!

Depends on the country.
The reason the Greta Green Blacksmith became so popular (and famous) was that English law required a "proper" church wedding, and Scottish law didn't - it allowed a Handfasting (basically a declaration before two witnesses).

It's because one of their number made shoes for the Invisible Pink Unicorn.
The history is there for all to see; you only have to have faith.

It is a very interesting religion, because I really spaghettis (and a lot of it)

One of the best things about it is that you don't need a tinfoil hat, any more!

Well that raises interesting possibilities. Spaghetti as a verb. Hmm.

I think it's more a case of a missing verb.
I vote for "extrude".

Seriously Nagy - stop reading now!
Phew! I'm stuffed!
Since Herself is still poorly (and to give myself an easy evening meal cookery session) I did a Full English Breakfast for lunch:
Home cured bacon (four thick slices).
Sausages (three).
Fried egg (one).
Black pudding (three slices).
Hash browns (two).
Baked beans (half a tin).
Tinned tomatoes (half a tin).
Mushrooms sauted in garlic butter (lots)
Toast (two slices)
Tea / coffee (one big mug)
It was hard enough to get it all on the plate, but now I'm pretty much incapable of movement for a while.
But...it tasted good, and it saves me cooking tonight (late biscuits and cheese when we get peckish).
Better than clear soup!

That's just mean spirited. However, I would not expect anything less from you when it comes to teasing Nagy.

Hey! No fair: I told him twice not to read it.
And I didn't mention clear soup once twice!
[edit]Oh, yes, I did, didn't I? Oops![/edit]

Hash browns sound suspiciously un-English to me! I think a slap on the wrist administered by Delia Smith under the Unpatriotic Foods Act is the very least that you deserve!

hmmm
fried egg++
toast++
Tea -> endless mug
(baked beans, tinned tomatoes, mushrooms)-- .. 'meh', could do without
but on the whole, very yummy - problem is I'd be calculating how many km it equates to on the bike - likely I'd be riding for a week to work it off 
cheers Paul
btw English -> Aussie
'poorly' -> sick
'proper poorly' -> dead ??

Good luck! Hope your NHS is as good as ours: Herself was sent for an Xray on Thursday (Saw Quack on Friday, heard the appointment date on the Wednesday.
Due in at 14:30, called in at 14:25, out five minutes later.
Not quite as good as my experiences with Bupa, but pretty good.
