Title: Re: Bah HUMBUG !! Post by: Ironside on December 20, 2008, 07:55:59 PM my sister just bought a bird and its costing me 6 hours of my life at £100 an hour that i would charge anyone employing me thats a £600 bird
Title: Re: Bah HUMBUG !! Post by: boldie on December 20, 2008, 08:12:50 PM yep Asda also want 30'ish quid for a "crown of turkey"..it's next to the Beef joints that are going for 12£.... I actually like beef!...but turkey is traditional and all that.
FFS, a month ago the same turkey would have been £6 or something like that as noone wants it at anyother time than Christmas. I hate christmas..the only good thing about it is Boxing Day. Title: Re: Bah HUMBUG !! Post by: gatso on December 20, 2008, 08:15:53 PM does anyone actually like turkey?

Well we still have £20 worth left ... FML! Title: Re: Bah HUMBUG !! Post by: EvilPie on December 28, 2008, 10:48:38 AM LOL just seen this thread.
My sister asked me to sort out the turkey this year and I thought I'd err on the side of caution and get a biggun. 16lbs between 6 of us should suffice I thought. Decided on a fresh one so ordered it from the butchers where I get all my dog's food from cus it's a nice place. Eventually went to pick up my emu on Christmas eve. FIFTY EIGHT FOOKIN QUID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On the plus side everyone said it was the nicest they've ever had and we're actually enjoying the emu stew / emu sandwiches that are still available. Belated Merry Christmas everyone. Title: Re: Bah HUMBUG !! Post by: barhell on December 28, 2008, 10:59:35 AM I took 8 of my family out to dinner christmas day to save the hassle of cooking washing up and the stress that can occur from running around, highlight of the day was a tight wad member of the family saying lets buy our own drinks and proceeding to buy themselves and one other a drink "cause i owe you one". I seriously had to restrain from saying well pay for your own ******* dinner.
Insta scrubbed off invite list for next year. Family don't you just love'em at times. Title: Re: Bah HUMBUG !! Post by: ItsMrAlex2u on December 28, 2008, 11:01:05 AM 15 lb Turkey on xmas day. £82
