Dear boy, the rimmings ALWAYS Come after the stuffing :)

Don't be daft, that would defeat the object.

Have a hoppy christmas, and remember a dog is not just for christmas: carved in the right way it will last until new years.

LOL. Did you have to post that? I was just about to have my dinner.;)

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

That would be Mexican turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) domesticated by the Maya and brought to Europe by the conquistadores. They were introduced to England by one William Strickland a lieutenant of Sebastian Cabot. The Mexican turkey was exported to Jamestown, Virginia in the 1600s. Tho this day all domesticated turkey the world over are descendants of the Mexican turkey, The North American Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) that the Pilgrim Fathers would have eaten before the domesticated variety was introduced has never been domesticated. To this day the Stricklands have a turkey on their family crest.

 

BTW what kind of "foreign muck" are your daughter and son-in-law having for their Christmas dinner? I'm always on the lookout for something different.

We wont know until christmas eve what were eating christmas day ,in the hectic final reductions then all will be revealed ,if we get nothing i have a few bits and bobs in the freezer that will do,

I do like a bit of turkey but like anything else if it isnt cut priced they can stuff it!

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

What you can do with chesters is to find a one legged turkey running around in say asda's, going cheap cheap.

 

Or knock on me door and i'll let you have a leg and a bit of breast. :)

 

or what is the last postal day.

Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted.


New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.

Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.

Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.

Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.

Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.

Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.

new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.

Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are..
