Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

you have not got a stick in your mouth, then. lol

I don't eat meat or dairy products except free range organic egg's , its no use buying free range if they are fed the same shit as batty hen's. Also I eat fish, but a lot of fish and shrimp's these days are farmed mainly in south Asia , a have a local fishmonger who sell's only local fish if possible, the sea is only a 10 minute drive from his shop.

So am more vegan then vegetarian

Anybody who eat's red meat now must be mad , it takes red meat 7 days to pass though your bowel's so you have all those toxin's and other shit in your system

Chicken are injected with water , antibiotic's and steroid's .

Cattle are one of the main causes of methane gas which contribute to global warming , and the de forestation of rain forest's.

The true test of a civilised society is the way we treat our animal's.

Fish is not good for you. Rod Stewarts wife ate a lot of fish in her pregnancy. She had a very high metal count . ie Mercury. Its all shit.

Do not eat beef burgers. Thats where all the rubbish goes.

Depend's what fish [ cold or warm sea ] and were its fished from , avoid off the coast of Japan. its also the same with shell fish. I should imagine stores like Tesco do their own testing.

Did you know that before the EU bought in new law's , Shippam's chicken product's use to contain chicken neck's , bone's and skin all ground up to a pink or light brown paste, I think Bernard Matthews done the same. But on the finished product it just said chicken meat.

The House of Representatives has passed the debt limit bill and we await the Senate's approval.

The whole saga is the result of two things. One is having a codified constitution that over specifies what to do in a variety of situations. The other is having two equal elected houses. Mid term elections frequently result in a change of control of one of the houses. As bills have to pass boths houses, split house control means inactivity on legislation as either house can vote down a bill. At least at present we don't have an elected upper chamber. We also have the Parliament Act where our lower house can force a bill into law that has been rejected by the upper house. Our system effectively uses the upper house as a revising chamber.

Aids,

If, what you are writing is correct, please start eating red meat again!

Just grow your own vegetables in your back garden and eat them and rear your own chickens.

Not a bad life being a cockerel...you just go and pick whom you like...now if only we could learn from the animal world...I think there would be a scramble outside certain filmstars frontdoors...I can see it now : all disguised as chickens...squawk....cluck...cluck......(what on earth did I have to eat or drink last night ?)....

Hyle,

Check what has been previously dumped in the back garden, before you cultivate it.

Probably, the best thing to do is eat a little of all available Meat, Fish, Fruit and Vegetables.

That is why I am fat.

.

Whom ?....

.

Aldwickk, How can you possibly consider yourself vegan or vegetarian when you eat fish?

Frampton,

Aids doesn't let little things like that get in his gullet.

But i can see why he is a little tophaceous or even cretaceous.

That's very illogical , why would I eat meat ? ........ still its what you would expect from Fred

Fred, good advice (11903) Got a house near me that sits on a old abattoir. Its a new build but on the site from the war. 'DURING THE WAR' they ran out of coal. So stock that had Anthrax was buried there instead of burned. Anthrax can sit in the ground 50-100 years. So the soil has been pushed around, you do not want to be growing veg .

Frampton

I didn't say I was vegetation or vegan

Am a Ovo / Pescatarian vegetation [ Ovo , egg and Pescatarian , fish.] The main thing is not to eat meat or dairy , I don't consider egg's as strictly dairy as all other dairy is milk based.

Mind you I do yield to temptation and order a black forest sundae when am in a Harvester.

..Murdoch Foam Pie Attacker Gets Six Weeks

By Rachel Younger, Sky News correspondent | Sky News 27 minutes ago
....The comedian who threw a foam pie at Rupert Murdoch as the News Corp boss was giving evidence to MPs has been sentenced to six weeks in prison.

Jonathan May-Bowles , who is also known by his stage name Jonny Marbles, was told by a judge at Westminster Magistrates' Court he would have to serve at least half his sentence.

May-Bowles was also fined 250 and ordered to pay 250 costs.

The comedian, dressed casually in a checked shirt, remained impassive as his sentence was passed. He pleaded guilty last week to assault and causing harassment, alarm or distress.

The court heard how had flung a foam pie at Mr Murdoch as he began to conclude giving evidence to the Commons Culture Media and Sport Committee about the phone hacking scandal on July 19.

District Judge Daphne Wickham told him that Mr Murdoch's committee appearance had been "of huge importance to a number of people deeply affected by the conduct of employees at his organisation."


She told May-Bowles that dignity and a civilised approach were an important part of the parliamentary process, and said: "Everyone accepted that but you."

Explaining why she had chosen to ignore the usual sentencing guidelines Mrs Wickham said that only the intervention of others had prevented Mr Murdoch from coming to potentially greater harm.

"No one save you could have known what that foam was," she said.

"I have to take into account the fear that you caused in that room."


The court heard how Mr Murdoch's wife, Wendi Deng, had sprung to his defence, hitting May-Bowles and trying to fling the pie back at him.

Her husband wasn't injured in the incident and hadn't supported charges being pressed.

Defence lawyer Tim Greaves explained his client had only been trying to express his anger and disappointment at News International "in the least harmful way he knew."

Slapstick and throwing pies, he argued, had been used as a form of protest since the early 1900s.

In mitigation, he assured the court that May-Bowles was a 26-year-old family man of good character who never intended to do anything like this again.


Explaining his actions, May-Bowles said after the attack: "I guess I did it because I had no faith in the Parliamentary process and I wanted to see some kind of justice done."

But in a hearing that lasted just 20 minutes, Judge Wickham made it clear a custodial sentence had been inevitable.

May-Bowles' lawyer returned to court later to announce that the protester was appealing against his sentence and to apply for bail.

Mr Greaves argued that the jail term was "excessive" and that sentencing guidelines had not been followed, and said it was likely that May-Bowles would have served his sentence in full by the time the appeal came before a crown court judge.

But Mrs Wickham said she was not prepared to grant bail and ordered the comedian to remain in custody.
