I really would like to say something but I'm on my third final written warning. I think.

I saw that on TV. Just what does that 'machine' do to kill the turkeys? It would take forever to kill enough needed for Thanksgiving/Christmas at that speed.

This fellow; so "well known" yet, I suspect, so un-known.

A really good piece of timely writing.

Once upon a time I went for a psychological appraisal for a job. One of the quick-fire questions asked me for my choice of occupations: A doctor, a radio broadcaster or a turkey farmer. I answered wrongly. I know that now.

David - I'd presume the machine is based on the principals described on this site.

The link above is fine - but the subsequent pages are a little graphic perhaps for some.

What are the chances of this government removing mobile phones from prisons or doing anything whatsoever to alienate prison inmates? Zero.
They are currently sponsoring a bill to give them the vote and they regard any criminals as a valuable and reliable source of support.

Killing cone or scalding tank, which is best? FIGGGGHHHHTTTT!

Ok
The live turkey is forced down the cone.
The head is then tugged through the small end of the cone, where, around the lower jaw, neck, the knife slices arteries.......
I think that's quite enough?
Now who's for a Turkey sandwich ;-(

C 18, I didn't read all of it, but who took his posed photo on the bench and how much was he paid for the article?
Complain about this comment
Charlie, thanks for the link.
I read it all and have no interest in his picture on the bench or indeed in his payment, if any, for the article ;-)
However I found it ironic that he never had the chance to have a meal with Carol Barnes as she died of a stroke in March.

Yes there are many 240v ac invertors available - some provide a true sinewave - but I'm now curious as to your question?

To have been modded for mocking Ms Palin's scarf is one thing, but to have to watch those poor beasts being slaughtered in that medieval way was a bridge too far for me, I'm afraid.

Charlie - 'Nice' or 'Iconic' - take your pick, they're interchangeable these days. You sure get around. I understand there's a journal on the shelves called 'Traffic Cones Monthly'. JM's a regular reader.
