Black Pudding

[BoredBloke]

I like the spicy black puding you can get in Scotland and Ireland. I hate the bury type of black pudding - the one filled with big lumps of fat.

Sadly, the government knee-jerked and brought in a bunch of irrelevant and unhelpful legislation. This includes making it nigh on impossible to give scrap food to pigs. IIRC, if you give BSE infected meat to pigs, you get perfectly safe bacon.

Anyways, consequences are more food waste going into landfill to become methane instead of it going into piggies to become tastier chops. Which also means that pork gets more expensive and farmers hav e to buy more genetically modified and patented animal feed for pigs, and because they want cheap animal feed, that animal feed contains Christ knows what ... which means that the legislation creates an opportunity for a pig-equivalent crisis like BSE. Probably being something like hormones or heavy metals in the cheap pig feed ending up in sausages.

That's what happens when you get panic in townie lawyer politicians who think they know better than scientists.

Fixed that for you.

And right on cue: UK to back imports of animal feed with traces of GM crops in move to benefit US exporters

I'm not a butchery God but I did work as a butcher for 5 years. I know my stuff on the subject.

5 years was the length of an apprenticeship as a brickie. That didin't qualify a brickie to build a complete house.

You can be an absolute expert in C# or SAP or whatever but it won't help one iota when it comes to disposing of a body.

That sounds like a very strict testing regime at your ClientCo.

It's probably one of the permie interview questions

I have had two very rich breakfasts the last two days with organic sausages and black pudding included. My guts are reeling.

In fact the smell is so bad in my office I may have to go out and buy a dog so I've got something to blame.

I'd buy some more sausages too, it's the only way the dog will like you.

Laugh it up.

Going to have to keep a low profile for a month. Team MF, or should I say the weaker part Mrs MF agreed to a one month design contract. After reviewing said contract which says she has to do 90% of the work in the next month and then only get paid 40%, waiting for the last 60% on completion of the last 10% in August I told her to forget it as with the fact she works for me in the shop, we're closing it and I'm doing more than one contract it wouldn't be worth it as the kids would have to go into additional child care!

So she fookin agreed to it and signed it.

Feast or famine, the lot of a contractor. Good luck with that.
