Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

[boldie]

Just found this on the net ...

im a traveller meself but never eaten a hotchi but my dad has eate and killed thousands of em he's 73 and grew up on em ,,,, to be quite truthful with ya cooking them in clay is the biggest load of bullshit ever said it was probably told as a joke to someone and its spread from there........ first of all when you get yer hedgehog you tap him on the nose to kill him with the back of ya dagger.. then you hold him by by back legs and stand on his front feet and pull him tight working with a sharp knife shave the bristles downwards to his nose,, when youve got off al the bristles you can with the knife you then hold him over a flame turning him gently around and over to singe off any remaining bristle and hair,, whilst dooin this the hedgehogs back will swell up to almost double its size and the whole thing will turn black and look like a bowler hat,,,, now starting at the front of the nose gently tap into the bone a with a dagger and use something blunt and heavy to tap with.the hedgehog has a bone that runs from its nose to its tail tap the dagger all the way through the to the tail end,, once youve done this now your ready to gut it,,you gut through the back taking great care not to bust the gall bladder which looks like little blue ball my dad said if the gall bladder was busted due to the flaming they would throw it away cos it would make you bad,,,, now wash it out and cook in a tray like any other meat,,,,,,,,, p.s hedgehog fat will never set it always stays liquidy and dogs wont touch the leftovers ..... i hope thats cleared the subject up for anyone

Well that's Mr Red eyeing up the hedgehog now.

As for calling a hedgehog fatty, Mr Red...pot meet kettle?

And where have you been?

Have you got a note?

unfortunately I had to pay the bills

This working malarky is hard work.

I must stress that my Dad isnt a half wit however due to the deep predudice it takes time!  I will be spending alot of time with him this weekend and I am almost certain he would jump at the chance to meet you.  I actually think you would get on very well, although you might not think it from the way i have portayed him.

I don't think you portrayed him like that at all. I'm sure he's a good man and it's obvious that you respect him a great deal, which is just as it should be.

I will let you form your own opinion when you meet him at the game, he can do the same.

Hang on, you're jumping the gun. I said, "I'm willing to take a chance if he is. I will support Leeds, if, perhaps next year sometime, you and your dad will shake my hand and take me to see a game"

So that means your old man has to agree too, otherwise, its "Come on you owls!!" 

Well i'm sure he would like to meet you, so not jumping the gun!  When i said 'meet him at the game' I didnt actually mean, 'we are going to Leeds vs xxx see you there'!!

Lower-case 'o' in Owls?  I think you've alienated yourself there. 

Leeds it'll have to be...

Am I allowed to have The Owls as my second team?

I think now is a good time for a newbie to start supporting Man City, they will be great next season with all that money and you get to piss off every man u supporters

Yes, I watched it.

Did you see the programme that was on before it - Lost Horizons? Kind of a history of the big bang theory - watch it on iPlayer.

From the Dept. of Useless Facts: 

Professor Brian Cox who presented that programme was a member of D:Ream who perpetrated the number one hit 'Things can only get better'.

Now that's what I call a career change.

It's eye-opening isn't it that there are hundreds of millions of galaxies and our sun is one star in one of them
