Him: You wouldn't eat meat if you had to kill it.
Me: I wouldn't eat potatoes if I had to dig them up.

Once you've killed a few, it becomes second nature, doesn't it Bobbers.

Why do you think I have such a wide and varied collection of shiny, slashy, stabby things??!!?

Making all the cows pregnant must be quite tiring.

Especially if you're a bull!!!

Nowadays they have a bloke that goes round doing it.



It's a wonder he hasn't been caught at it yet.

I prefer to use my bare hands.

( If it's a bit chilly, I might wear my special gloves.)

Ah a typical view of industrialisation laying waste to nature. Awful to see.

I hear they still haven't figured out what the strange box in the corner of the room with moving images and sounds coming out of it is all about!!!!

It's the glow from all the chimney fires in the back to back terraces of the redundant working classes who have stolen low grade dust from the surrounding slag heaps in an effort to save their children from freezing to death.

Do I need to do another mercy run in the Porsche to deliver a handy sized recycled paper bag of organic free trade charcoal briquettes?

That’s the Mrs in her cage.

[Bobberoo99]

Oh, you keep yours in the same room as you???? Strange, I find them to be more obedient if kept segregated!!!



She's going to read this at some point and smack me again!!!

Refrigerated is the best.

Afternoon all. Further to the 'Oop North' business, I remember a story Mrs B once told me. It harks back to the days when jug kettles were just starting to become popular, probably late 70's early 80's. Her mum and dad were in need of a new kettle so she furnished them with a 'new fangled jug'.

A kitchen in North Shields, about 40 years ago:

"Fut's this lass?"

"It's a kettle dad"

"Wrong futtin shape. Coffee pot"

"No, it's a kettle. They're making them like that now"

"Coffee pot. Saw one once on a ship I worked on. Coffee pot"

"No, honestly it's a kettle. You just boil water in it"

"Coffee pot"

Apparently it was several weeks before it was used to make tea.

"Futtin coffee pot"

I'm home, I'm tired, it's been a busy day, I'm off to bed for a kip!!!

They are extremely difficult to defrost once frozen.

And you don't want to get frostbitten.

Is anyone going anywhere Trivmere Quarry? Battert's testing his latest invention and he may need assistance or he may need recovering from the bottom.



TIA

[Bobberoo99]

Only just seen your request Dicky, has anyone checked on Battert? Did he fly or flop? Is there a recovery team in place? Did he make it to the other side and you're all in the B&L celebrating? Is there anybody out there?
