Flying Rats

I hate pigeons and have done for a number of years now. I often refer to them as flying rats. That is no longer the case because today I realised that they perform a valuable role in our modern environment. The role they play is garbage collectors. They browse the streets eating all the crap and puke that litters the wonderful city streets of Cardiff that the COUNCIL ARE TOO BLOODY LAZY TO CLEAN UP!!!!!!!!!!!! Grrrrrr!

Also, umbrellas. Why do people insist on using them? Fine they keep your head dry in the rain but due to the wonderful climate that we live in, at this time of year when it is raining it is almost invariably windy. As a result I have nearly lost an eye four times in the last week while passing people in the street wrestling with a brolly in high winds. I used to play golf on a regular basis in all sorts of weathers. I was not a 'fair-weather' golfer and I was always prepared for the weather. My motto was this 'There is no such thing as bad weather, just THE WRONG F***ING CLOTHES!'. Also, there is an umbrella graveyard round the corner from work where people have abandoned the skeletal remains of what once protected their dainty heads. Somebody should inform the council that pigeons do not eat umbrellas and somebody should sort the mess out.

Where is the meat

A suprise today!

After eating a packet of Real Crisps, which happen to be my current favourite, I was suprised to see the reverse of the packet.

The flavour in question was Roast Ox, (why they don't just call it Roast Beef is beyond me). As the crisps are 'hand made' and really do taste nice, I would not have been suprised to see some sort of meat extract as part of the recipe. But no, to my amazement (well you kind of expect it really don't you), this product was suitable for vegetarians!
