It's a bank holiday here in the UK this weekend and I feel like I might give making a gala pie a go.

The ingredients to the pie aren't the problem but I've never made a pie before because i've always heard that pastry is incredibly sensitive to changes in temperature and I don't want to fluff it.

I won't cheat and buy store bought pastry so what am I getting myself in for?

I am not a novice in the kitchen but neither am I close to any kind of expert.

At least hot water crust is supposed to be some of the easiest to handle besides a suet pie?

I'm looking for the opinion of people who have exotic pets specifically because you can go to any old vet for a cat and dog, but I've heard Holly House is not the best, though, im going to be pretty limited with local vets otherwise.

Im also trying to get Hold of Holly House who were really good with my last pets.

Any advice on local vets that deal with exotics would be appreciated also.

The martians are described as "A huge rounded bulk larger than a bear" and "its lipless body quivered and slavered"

Much of the extant artwork shows them as gelatinous hulks of brain tissue with long tentacle-like appendages with no fingers or bones that I am aware of and as far as I know are not shown to have any telekinetic capabilities.

How then, did they master the manufacturing techniques needed to accurate tool the machinery necessary to build large scale hydrogen accelerators to launch their cylinders from Mars:

" the top started rotating, unscrewing and Ogilvy rushed forward fearing there was a man trapped inside, but the intense heat stopped him before he could burn himself on the metal"

The accuracy needed to make a screw thread, nevermind an entire fighting machine tripod with a Heat ray seems far beyond the capability of an alien creature that doesn't even have opposable thumbs?
