He went so off-topic after the third paragraph I had to scroll back-up to check it was the same article I was reading.

I love this bit "We got on well, though, and he once told me that he'd never bothered with breakfast television either.", considering he is talking about a conversation he had in the mid 80s.
I wonder what else the two of them discussed that neither of them did. Must have been riveting listening on the top deck of that bus.

I particularly liked the way he managed to ramble on about life at Overdale Road. For two-thirds of the article. I also like his refreshing honesty about trying to fiddle his expenses:
"He was a lovely man was Tommy, although if you'd incorrectly added up your weekly expenses claim, then he was capable of a sarcastic edge."
If only Anton Rippon was capable of the same sarcastic edge, or staying on topic, he'd be at a better paper.

That is exactly the sort of rambling shite that old people (the only people who actually read local papers) lap up.

I never receive email updates when you reply to my posts.
I think you are the only person for whom this happens.
Is this expected behaviour? I didn't know you could stop the system sending them, only stop receiving them.
Not a problem at all, just curious.

I like this linked article[^] which continues the recent theme of honest criminals;
Quote: And when unemployed Maddison was pulled over, he told officers: “It’s about time I got caught, I’ve been drinking a load of vodka.”

So I went to check the burgers in my fridge, and they're off.
Having ate one yesterday, and fearing a dose of the trots, Mrs Ger nagged until I presented at my local emergency department.
Fortunately I'm in a stable condition.
I am reassured that security is being beefed up at stables nationwide.

I note also that 85% of the products also contain pork.
No doubt that will please out jewish and muslim members.

Yet 'Irish Recipie'; Sausages are so called as they don't contain enough Pork to enable themselves to be labelled as 'Pork'.

I knew a butcher who put sawdust in one end of his sausages.
Well, times were hard and he had trouble making both ends meat.

Might explain why I've ran into some People who assumed "make ends meat" is the correct form, and "... meet" is a malapropism.

Always check the label - my Tesco Burgers say they're low in fat but high in Segar.

This Segar?[^]
Or did you mean Shergar?
Incidentally, "Who's the Bastard in the Black" seems appropriate!

Trying to keep separate from the pun thread below.
What animals have you eaten, what would you eat, what wouldn't you eat?
I've had a horse burger in Belgium before, and it was around 8 years ago they did a survey and discovered most salami and other suspicious foreign sausage sold in the UK have donkey in them.
Many year ago working in Italy we went out to a bar for a few drinks and a snack. We asked them what they had to eat and the bloke said "We have meat of a pig, meat of a cow, erm where are you from?" "England" "You won't like that then...".
It was horse meat that he assumed we wouldn't want.
Is the UK touchier than most other countries about what animals are for eating and what aren't?

I draw the line at fellow humans but I doubt there is an animal I would not eat if cooked nicely. There are bits of animals I prefer not to eat, brains, chickens feet. I don;t consider insects animals.
Best steak I have ever had was a in Brussels, another excellent one was in Cambodia and was buffalo, really gamey and a tight grain, cooked by a pissed french chef.
