Herself had a lazy morning - she was still in pajamas at noon - so I thought I'd do a Full English Breakfast, and we'd have that as Brunch.
So...
Sausages.
Bacon.
Black Pudding.
Hash Browns.
Baked Beans.
Tomatoes cooked in juice.
Mushrooms*.
Fried egg.
Toast.
Coffee / Tea
*burp*
I'm having difficulty moving ... but that's good. Not something to have often, maybe twice a year at most - but damn good.
* I tried them Sous Vide** for the first time, with butter, thyme, and soy sauce, and I have to say they were excellent. Firm, but cooked and tasty with added umami flavour. Definitely will try again.
** As were the beans and tomatoes - not only does it make life a load easier and give you moist food, but it reduces the number of pans you have to wash up by three as well. Bonus!

Two lots of hash browns? No wonder you're feeling stuffed!

What can I say? I like hash browns!
Fixed...

I generally eat that sort of breakfast when staying in hotels in the UK: some are good, some are dammed good, and occasionally I make real pig of myself.

I learned not to expect too much from hotel breakfasts - the odd one is brilliant, but the rest are cooked hours in advance (and deep fried where vaguely possible) which doesn't give the best result. Grill those sausages! And the bacon! Cook to order and serve hot (with hot toast, damnit!) - we don't mind waiting 20 minutes, honest.

I take it you prefixed that with cereal / muesli, and a glass of freshly-juiced orange?
|

That's not an E (for English) breakfast; it's an F breakfast.

I prefer a good old fashioned full American breakfast:
Coffee, bacon and guns.
With wheat toast.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

I am going to a party tonight, and there is every possibility that I shall have a drink or two*, so I have already removed from the freezer and placed in the fridge the necessary ingredients for the same, except no black pudding out here. I shall substitute a home-made pork burger.
* This is an old Anglo-Saxon phrase meaning 'get totally wasted'.

I am familiar with the phrase and it's meaning: I may have had a drink or two many, many times in the past ...
I'd suggest a large glass of water beside the bed as well: dehydration is one cause of a nasty hangover.

Well, next thursday will be my stuffing day, going to an "All you can eat" sushi restaurant. We visited that a few times before and every time we say "we should not eat that much", but of course we can not resist the temptation. In addition to sushi they also serve traditional snacks like french fries and frikandel

"Frikandel" is a new one to me: and ... um ... the pictures of it aren't appetising: What on Earth is a "Frikandel"? Your Guide to Where to Eat It![^] - that looks like a dog ate it yesterday, and now we're out on "walkies" ... 
I'm sure it's delicious, but ...

Never touch the things myself, but I know a lot of people that do, you can get them everywhere in Holland and they are very cheap

We get a lot of plagiarism as potential articles - mostly I think from people who want to make the resume look better - but the latest is just ... blatant.
Very blatant.
Most people just do go CTRL+A, CTRL+C, CTRL+TAB, CTRL+V, "Publish".
Some few take a few, brief moments to change a few words in the hope we don't notice*.
Occasionally, one or two will mangle it a bit to make it look less polished**
But ... this is the first time I've seem someone scan a few pages from a book, crop off the page numbers, add his name at the bottom, and post the resulting images as an original article ...
Fer ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) 's sake: I still have difficulty with the mentality involved here ...
* We do. We're good at it.
** We're good at spotting that as well.

Hmmm,
OriginalGriff wrote: We get a great deal of plagiarism and literary theft as potential articles - generally I think from individuals who need to make their resume look better - however the most recent is simply, outright and extreme. Unmitigated for sure. A great many people simply go CTRL+A, CTRL+C, CTRL+TAB, CTRL+V, and "Distribute".
They, simply change a couple of words in the expectation that we don't take note. Sporadically, a couple of will manage to make it look less polished. Be that as it may, this is the first occasion when I've seen somebody check a couple of pages from a book, crop off the page numbers, include his name at the base, and post the subsequent pictures as a unique article. For elephant 's sake, I still have difficulty with the mentality involved here.
The technology for automated summarize and paraphrase has existed for over a decade. It makes me wonder how many are being undetected.
I simply pasted your comment into an online tool to generate the above paraphrasement.

Ah ha! Plagiarism! No, damnit, you referenced the original author.
It wouldn't surprise me - but the results are generally poor in a technical document, so they probably won't get through on the quality requirement. And they can't risk manually fixing it in case they end up back with the original ...

are you sure it wasn't another user just having a go at you to watch you rant?
i can't believe a person would actually do this.
they must be a real winner in school, but then they probably forged their degree. Badly.

Someone did it with one of my code project articles, they copied it word for word and attributed all the work to themselves on another site.
Fortunately the wolves from codeproject snarled at them and they promptly removed the article.
