Lads I'm in a bit of a predicament, need help from someone better at maths than I am. Mrs. blue won't allow meat to be ate today (Black Friday) I found a bit of salami in the fridge. It's 31% fat and only 19% protein. I made a sandwich of it with a bit of goat's cheese (cheese ok by mrs b's standards).

How much of the sandwich should I give to the dog to avoid going to hell?

We had a sheep conference call yesterday, worked well if you could stop everyone talking at once

Well calling it black Friday is probably worse than eating the meat.

Anyone ever tear the tendon in their elbow ?
I've been cleaning back the ditch at the side of the house for the last few days. Working the slasher yesterday evening and with a fairly light swing something went in my elbow.
Mild pain now but if I straighten the arm and lock the elbow I get an unmerciful dart of pain. It's right on the elbow so assuming can only be the tendon.

Eat the crust yourself and give the rest to the dog, and watch him eat it.
Get yourself used to torture....

Had to google that. GOOD Friday is what I meant.......it's the hunger pangs.

Tell the misses that Jesus died so you could eat that sandwich.
That the meat thing was brought in by a man in a silly hat in Rome.
And that the man in a silly hat in Rome has zero bearing on whether you get to Valhalla or not.

Or simpler, eat the sandwich, say nothing and file for divorce.

My cousin suffers awful bad with his elbows. If he is doin any type of work he has to put on these compression sock. They are really tight bandages/sleeve. It works for him soon light work but no good for lifting

Ha, the cod I'll be having will be well dead

longgonesilver · 10-04-2020 07:28PM

I hope so. Will it be cooked in animal fat?

Religion is so complicated sometimes.

Any of you heathens go to a church today?

We had beef burgers sold by local farmer killing his own animals.

Was just stunning.

We had salad too so maybe we’re not going to hell.

Washed them down with a beer

Them - I had two and they were glorious and I’m hardly fit to walk I’m so stuffed.

Water John · 10-04-2020 08:22PM

Butcher on the news said, with lockdown, the sales of choice roast cuts had doubled.

It could be the first time in years that some people had to cook their own Easter Sunday dinner and eat at home.

An awful huger for a steak or seafood washed down with a pint at a local restaurant.
Missing the simple things, missing Saturday lunch and a chat over the papers with my mother. In her eighties now, so have to keep my distance.

Was my mother's birthday today. My sister who lives in Dublin decided we would do a zoom chat thingy with her. Chat was to be at 6.30 then we realised that my mother didn't have zoom on her phone :pac: my mother hasn't been out in afew weeks.I went up with my daughter and got her phone and set it up. Standing on doorstep. Strange way to celebrate your birthday

I did a simular injury during the snow of Winter 2010/ Spring 11. I was chipping frozen snow off the driveway with a shovel for a few hours. I couldn't drink a cup of coffee or hold the phone to my ear as my right elbow would lock half way. Worst of all I couldn't fly fish when the season started on Paddy's day. I tried to convince my GP to give me a cortisone injection into it but he told me to learn to cast with my left arm

Person in charge can usually mute all call members and then allow individuals to talk at different stages.

In keeping with the virus free theme of the thread.
Six years ago a hospital in Chile installed copper equipment in the hospital to stop bacteria and viruses spreading.

https://youtu.be/yQSIF8xk5w8

Six years ago.

I wonder did any other hospitals follow suit?

Edit: And this really is ancient technology.

Plastic and surprisingly stainless steel are the 2 substances that bacteria can live longer on.

Thus the concern with supermarkets.

Exporting 29% of the worlds copper I'm sure they got a good deal!

Doesn't take away from the effectiveness of it though.

Copper has been used down the centuries for a wide range of things from copper bellies on war ships in the British empire to make them go faster to Egyptians using vessels to sterilize wounds and drinking water.
