Bacon rolls. American bacon is rancid. Flecks of meat in a strip of pork fat. yeuch.

Loads of other things, Hibs obviously, and lots of different food and drink.

The thing I miss most though is family and friends. I'm very lucky and have a wonderful American family and a large friendship group - including two weel kent Bouncers with whom I can talk about the Cabbage (at the right speed!) - but I do miss the people that I've shared so many experiences with over the piece. Ah well, that's what trips home are for.

Home to me doesn't mean getting up at ridiculous o'clock in the jet black freezing cold pishin' wet depths of winter to go to a job I hate any more. Now it means drinking too much, eating too many fish suppers and cramming in seeing as many friends as possible in a short timescale. Sounds like a good deal really....
