[Archived] Bacon

[thenodrog]

welcome back gordywordy

Thanks but I'm not back proper yet Abbey. I'm only back under the mods discretion I think ...... although I haven't received any notication / explanation as such.

[thenodrog]

We keep having pics in the daily's of dogs being sold for food in the far east and bears being forced to dance in those parts too but as yet I've never seen a pic of a goat or sheep hung up in some abbatoir (or backyard) struggling in abject fear and pain whilst having it's throat cut from ear to ear..... for absolutely no good or logical reason.

You really have no idea theno, honestly. It doesn't attract the attention of the RSPCA etc. because it is not worthy of doing so, so please don't try and sensationalise (the last sentence is laughable) something you don't really have a clue about.

On the contrary I do work in the food / meat production industry Le chuck. Where exactly do you derive your opinion from?

[RoversFanUSA]

I think you are right to be "outraged." This is obviously a national disgrace and something needs to be done at once. I blame Gordon Brown, Muslims, the demise of National Service, and the abject failure of The Bacon Council Of The UK to promote bacon as a low salt & low fat alternative to lettuce. I'm afraid. The country is going to the dogs I'm afraid.

I agree here! You must complane, its an outrage and an insult. I feel that the Bacon Council of America will need to send over a crack team experts to handle this dire situation post haste!

Who are you going to send? Pamela Hamdersen?

(Apologies, my head is already hanging in shame for that)

[Ozz]

Nah-gotta be Kevin Bacon surely?

[Ste B]

Ah, but they might use HalAL Pacino in response.

[Cocker]

oh dear, what have I started here

[Rovermatt]

Jean-Claude Van Hamme. Now that's crack.

Not as crack but just as apt is Mark Hamill. He's probably in need of a job.

Good point Theno, Le Chuck does not realise that the Muslim council of Britain lobbied the government some years back to get a dispensation for Halal slaughter as it broke the UK rules on the slaughter of animals

This is not a thread to bash muslims or their eating habits. Understand?

Also anymore bad name puns will not be tolerated on the grounds of public decency

Agreed, make sure you go the whole hog.

[Ozz]

Aw c'mon Flops, thats a bit Rash-er?

[Rovermatt]

Anyone accused should simply Denny it.

[Rovermatt]

*Snort of derision*

[ABBEY]

and i get bollocked for going off topic ..wow

[Rovermatt]

The topig is spent methinks.

Is this the best pie shop in the North West?? The steak pies are quite simply top class cuisine.

With places like this around, I'm amazed anyone would want to ever visit a Subway.

Anyone else have any favourites?

[Ozz]

You're loving being back up north aren't you?

[Ray-Von]

I know its in Burnley, but "Haffners" pies are absolutely superb. They have a little factory shop at their bakery which opens at lunch time and are fresh from the oven.

Wasted on the locals in my opinion!
