The Avian 'flu epedemic was discussed on Jeremy Vine's radio show today. He slipped up,referring to Bernard Manning. It caused Mumblin' Len and I to reflect on this scenario. Bird 'flu breaks out at Batley Variety Club. Bernard Manning says... "It's ok, none of the blokes has got it." |

Christmas turkeys are hatched in the summer and get fattened up for the beginning of December. The ones culled this weekend were probably the Easter stock. LTS |

I was Les who did the "News ala Hindenburg" style call of the event with lines like, "They're hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement!" and the classic "Oh the humanity, I can't watch" or to that effect. Still one of my all time favorite TV episodes ever, any series, any time. Spaw |

06 Feb 07 - 10:23 AM (#1959027) Subject: RE: BS: One flew Over the Turkey's Nest From: Scrump No, because these turkeys were in Suffolk not Norfolk. They were just owned by Bernard Matthews. The Norfolk turkeys are still "Norfolk and Good" so we can still sing about them. (Shouldn't this thread be called "One Flu Over The Turkey's Nest"?) What I want to know is, why do the Staffordshire people want all these turkeys? |

It's obvious why they want them in Staffordshire.... for Pottery Boilers. Liz, I thought they'd be the Easter stock also. |
