    Lanclass, I did'nt know ladies could be plonkers     :confused:     to be a plonker you must first have a plonker to be a plonker and the only "lady" lady that I have met with a plonker was in Mombasa...

    Cheers

     

    Alan

    Sorry Alan but I think I must disagree with you there. Women can be plonkers. They can also be w@nkers, d!ckhe@ds and @ssholes. I meet 'em at work every day.

    Could be worse, you could get one of those little fish that embeds itself in your Hampton, and you have to have surgery to have it removed, luckily, I think they are only in the Amazon, apparently, they swim up your wee.

    You mean the candiru, a charming little chappie.

    Not to mention dear old Synanceia verrucosa, commonly known as the Stonefish. This is reputed to be the most venomous fish in the world. The sting an occasionally be fatal to man.

     

    Ugly beggars too.

    As to cheap burgers and sossidges ever heard of MRM?? That's "Mechanically Recovered Meat" to you an I!! That's tissue (Can't call it meat, it's such as cartiledge, sinew and other delights!) which is recovered from animal carcasses by use of steam and high pressuer water jets!! Lovely!! YUM, YUM, NOT!!

     

    Chris

    Then it is put in a thing like a huge cement mixer with tons of steel balls in it to get it to a consitunecy like pink toothpaste!
  5. Like the guy said, some hunting is ok and some is not. Personally I think that hunting deer with dogs sucks, but have got no obection to someone going out and shooting one in the neck, providing that the carcas is for consumption. However, despite my deep disapproval I would not advocate the banning of hunting deer with dogs.

    i should have known that, guess the old brain isnt working :D

     

    anyway they are quick frozen at -80 , ill be getting some more tomorrow and ill snap freeze that lot and see if there is any difference

     

    cheers

    ADAM

    -80 should be plenty low enough if we are talking Celcius. -80 is bloody cold. I have been up over the North Cape and into Murmansk mid-winter. It gets down to about -38C up there at that time of the year. I've felt wind chill down to around -55 or so there, but -80 is well cold my man.

    Driller,

     

    Cheers mate, I am a Lloyds TSB customer. I am now aware of the scam thanks to you.

    It must have been a while since you logged on to your Lloyds account. They have been posting warnings about these emails for weeks now.

    Actually Chris it does not have to be like this. We can still eat animal products and not accept these kinds of things.

     

    It is simply human greed that makes people intensively rear animals like this and treat them so badly. My grandfather and his forefathers were farmers. He abhorred cruelty to animals of any kind.

    I agree with you 100%. I was brought up on a fairly large mixed farm in Scotland. We raised Scottish Black-Faced sheep, beef cattle, and pigs. There was also a small herd of Jerseys for milk, (we used to drink it raw and it was like nectar). We grew barley, oats, hay, turnips and silage for winter feed. We also kept hens, ducks and geese, but not commercially, just for eggs and the pot.

     

    The people who worked on these kind of farms would find this treatment abhorrent. My grandfather, a shepherd on a neighbouring farm once pole-axed a contract clipper for being 'too rough' on one of 'his' ewes.

     

    ...castration and docking, but if this is done when the animals are very young, then I don't have a problem with this myself.

    Beef has to be castrated. Cows you see, are not on the whole not much good to eat. Most of the meat you seen in the shops is from stirks (steers if your on the east side of The Pond). You cannot keep 'heards' of bulls together as they would fight and can be difficult to handle. They are therefore castrated when young,using rubber rings. This makes them much more docile. It does not seem to distress them too much at all. They flinch a wee bit when the ring is first applied, but are soon back to normal. Their testicles fall of about 10 days afterwards.

     

    Although I don't like PETA, I see nothing wrong with showing things how they are. I don't think this is throat ramming and should instead make us change the laws on animal production.

     

    Again, I concurr.

    By far my favourite, and very clever, was the Smash Instant potato one. If it didn't go back before some viewers were even born I reckon it would have won the best TV ad.

    Do you mean the ad with the little metal robots? That was a good one.
  10. I am not sure if this 400 gallons of sperm story can be true.

     

    If they we assume we are talking about Imperial (UK gallons) then 400 gallons are going to weigh about 4000lbs, which is a bit more than 1.75 UK tons.

     

    And if I am not mistaken, the picture is not of ANY whale but is in fact a whale shark! (Sorry did'nt notice that Davy Holt had spotted that this was a whale shark)
