Isn't a chicken foetus an egg?

Foeti (sp?) of all animals are remarkably similar in early stages of development.

Well, I'm sure Jesus cares about chickens too.

The last paragraph is a fairly tenous link to the Boris Johnson scandal of last year. Was it necessary to include that?

I'd have thought the question should be how long had it been out of the freezer in Tescos'.

Not really but then some of the locals did insist on leaving flowers for the dead chicken in utmost grief. Rest in peace dear chicken, you'll never grow up to know the pleasure of being in a Big Al's chicken tender.

Heh, funnily enough for the last week and a half I've been pretty much laid up with a bad dose of The Flu™ (actually not the flu, just a pretty bad cold). GF came down from Galway last week and noticed that it was fish for tea. "Fish? I thought you were kind of gone off fish for a while?" "Yeah, well, they don't get avian flu much or mad bovine disease now do they?"

I noticed (while I'm in piss-poor rant mode while waiting for lettuce to be classified as a dangerous foodstuff for some reason) that the EU have announced a temporary ban on the importation of wild birds to try and stop the birdie flu getting a foothold on the beaches of Normandy or try to take over Berlin or summat. Just as well the friggers can't just fly into Europe and ignore passport control and compulsory avian flu checks in their luxury Orient Express carriages then, innit?

"stop grieving, it's only a chicken" great line that.

Just imagine the outpourings of grief when bird flu hits Liverpool.
