Another screwed up Saturday.
Rained again overnight, so it’s still cool.
My fridge is having a mid-life crisis, it’s decided it doesn’t want to be a fridge anymore. I mean it’s not fridging. Techy type neighbour had a look yesterday and put in a new part that was burnt out, but there is more of a problem. Hopefully he will find the solution today. But I have to go to work this morning, and he’s likely to escape.
The horrific part about it is, my icecream melted.
The good part about it meant that I had to have a BBQ yesterday to use the all the meat.
I’ll probably have another today to use the rest.
So, apart from the BBQ there’s not a lot to write about.
Silly Box: Inmates in a Venezuela jail rioted and broke into the infirmary taking a variety of drugs, a combination of anti-seizure drugs, insulin, antibiotics and hypertension treatments. Silly buggers, serves them right.
A new survey has now shown that 80% of chicken in British supermarkets is contaminated with camphylobactor. There are calls to people to boycott chicken until the industry cleans up its act.
Later.
At least you can still BBQ. We were away for a week and that happened…phew! Hope you find a solution, sorry about the ice cream.

>Boeta, the stench… I am so sad about the icecream, because for me that was a luxury.

’tis true about the chicken though I heard it was 60%, not 80% – I listened to a long winded programme on Radio 4 about it yesterday – apparently it’s fine so long as it’s cooked properly. Not sure I’m that in to chicken anymore – lentils are my nourishment of choice 😉

>Lottie, I reported on the 60% earlier, the 80 is a new report. Yes, cooking thoroughly does kill it, but I wouldn’t risk it.

my bro-in-law got very sick with it a few years ago – it took him a year to get over it and he had to live on a special diet whilst he was mending. He can’t eat chicken or turkey now in case it triggers it again. It’s a disgusting thing but no surprises that it exists – you only have to see how poultry is reared. slaughtered and packaged, it’s shameful.

I generally don’t buy chicken here in Brazil, I prefer fish, but even that is in doubt now.

I wonder how dear old Alice Cooper ever survived as he allegedly bit the heads of live chickens as part of his stage show. He’s actually rather a decent guy and a good golfer. Not what you would expect after School’s Out. Wasn’t there a song called Rock around the camphylobactor Clock?

>Andrew, I vaguely remember AC’s bizarre act. I certainly wouldn’t be trying it.

You’ll both be happy to know Alice Cooper did not bite the head off the chicken: http://m.on.aol.com/video/518429316. But Ozzy Osbourne did bite the head off the bat. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GeuW4Smf9PI
