.... All processed meat manufacturers in the UK have been told to check their beef products for traces of horse meat, after a batch of Findus beef lasagne's turned out to be made from....
.... 100% horse meat.
Butchers across the country are seeing even bigger rises in custom.
Morrison's are advertising that all their beef is 100% British.
... unlike other stores. ;P
.... Pantomime horses thankfully have not made it into the food chain!!

(V): haha that would be fun. Wake me up in 100 years. I'd be like a cave man.
Subject: Re: It seems to me that a well built car vrs a well built car colliding at 60 mph would be much safer than a light weight car vrs a light weight car at the same speed.
Artful Dodger: A certain amount of weight is needed, structural strength being more essential imo... or nowadays.. airbags.

Subject: Re: It seems to me that a well built woman vrs a well built woman colliding at 60 mph would be much safer than a light weight woman vrs a light weight woman at the same speed.
Iamon lyme: I gotta go. I have to take out the trash, do the dishes, and vacuum. After I'm finished with that I'll ask the boss, er my wife if there's anything else I have to do. Then I'll be back.
Subject: Re: It seems to me that a well built woman vrs a well built woman colliding at 60 mph would be much safer than a light weight woman vrs a light weight woman at the same speed.
Iamon lyme: Yeah, I've tried. I even tried to trade her in for an updated model but that didn't work out too well for me. I sang soprano for weeks! Fortunately I'm losing my hearing and I have a strong "ignore" feature built into my brain.
Subject: Re: It seems to me that a well built woman vrs a well built woman colliding at 60 mph would be much safer than a light weight woman vrs a light weight woman at the same speed.
Artful Dodger: "My wife auto corrects me too."
There's no way to disable that feature with, uh, that particular model. I've tried, so I know.

Subject: Re: It seems to me that a well built ipad vrs a well built ipad colliding at 60 mph would be much safer than a light weight ipad vrs a light weight ipad at the same speed.
Artful Dodger: I had a cell phone a few years ago that auto corrected my text messages. I had to disable the auto correct feature because it would never let me type in the correct word. Ironic it, ain't it?
Subject: Re: It seems to me that a well built car vrs a well built car colliding at 60 mph would be much safer than a light weight car vrs a light weight car at the same speed.
Artful Dodger: "Actually, there is a science behind that idea and as I understand it, it's theoretically possible. But I'll be dead before it's perfected."
Shoot, we'll all be dead before ipads are fixed so that they won't change words in your messages.

Subject: Re: It seems to me that a well built car vrs a well built car colliding at 60 mph would be much safer than a light weight car vrs a light weight car at the same speed.
(V): But you need weight for safety as well. Frankly I prefer telephoning but I can't get it to work for me. It worked for Spock. Actually, there is a science behind that idea and as I understand it, it's theoretically possible. But I'll be dead before it's perfected.
Subject: Re: It seems to me that a well built car vrs a well built car colliding at 60 mph would be much safer than a light weight car vrs a light weight car at the same speed.
Artful Dodger: Now... cannot a car be well built and light. A gutted demolition derby car is light, yet the safety feature of the roll cage makes it safer than a SUV.
It's all a matter of how much safety is featured in the design.
Artful Dodger: mmmm yes, or lightly sauteed with mushrooms in butter and garlic. But worms make me gassy, which is also troubling for scientists as there are already concerns that earthworms increase greenhouse gas emissions... eating them only exacerbates the problem.
Artful Dodger: "They use this method in many abortions"
I know. I tried watching a video about how it's done and couldn't watch the whole thing. It makes me sick to my stomach. I'd rather eat worms than to see how it's done.
Artful Dodger: "There are concerns that earthworms increase greenhouse gas emissions, which troubles scientists since earthworm numbers are on the rise."
Uh oh. I need to go down and check to see if my underground bunker is well fortified. Should have make the walls thicker, don't know if two feet of concrete is enough to keep them out.
Iamon lyme: They use this method in many abortions and Obama approves it. He doesn't want kids shot (unless they are black and from Chicago) but is ok with babies in the womb having their arms and legs sucked off (especially if they are black and from Chicago).
Subject: Re: BUT we all know that lighter cars contribute to more traffic deaths (and child deaths).
(V): It seems to me that a well built car vrs a well built car colliding at 60 mph would be much safer than a light weight car vrs a light weight car at the same speed. I'd put my money on surviving in the heavier car and the two lightweight autos all would likely be killed. Just a guess. I'll have to google it. Or bing it.
Subject: Re: true it's easier with a gun. But Japan has higher sucked rate without guns so guns aren't the problem.
(V): Sucked?? hahaha That cracks me up. I was using my ipad and it auto corrected my spelling. I never noticed it. I'll have to try to write suicide again tonight on the ipad and see how that happened.
Subject: Re: true it's easier with a gun. But Japan has higher sucked rate without guns so guns aren't the problem.
(V): You've never heard of death by suction? It's a barbaric practice that had been abandoned (or so I thought) centuries ago... it's a horrible way to go.
Some people confuse it with sakicide, which isn't so bad if you like that sort of thing. Not me. I'm a procrastinator. I'm not planning on leaving until after the boat has sailed.
Subject: Re: true it's easier with a gun. But Japan has higher sucked rate without guns so guns aren't the problem.
Artful Dodger: Considering the many ways of ending ones life... (sucked) ?? .. Guns are irrelevant. It would be considered impolite by Japanese (from what I hear) to be messy.
Subject: Re: BUT we all know that lighter cars contribute to more traffic deaths (and child deaths).
Artful Dodger: No... F1 cars are light by nature, yet far safer than a normal car. The killer is the SUV style cars. So much extra weight that they are harder to control and if involved in an accident more likely to kill more of those outside the SUV that are involved. Especially as a heavy vehicle is not so easy to control in accidents.
The people in the SUV type vehicle may have a ton of steel to protect them... That's nice for them but not for the other people involved.
Subject: Re: They are not legal for cops to use either.
Bwild: Exactly. The politicians love to jump on tragedies and use them for political gain. Kids die every day in Chicago but they've already got the black vote so who cares? Notice how some of the worst cities for crime are run by Democrats? See Detroit and Chicago-
Subject: Re: He appears to be talking about an eternal universe in which the unmoved mover is able to overcome the problem of an infinite number of past events.
Iamon lyme: So the end of winter and an early spring is determined by some cowardly little rodent who cries at the sight of his own shadow? I say we cook the little bugger and make some burgers!
Artful Dodger: I'm guessing more people are killed by cars than guns. a 70+ y/o man was beat to death here recently by a 33 y/o man. we going to outlaw fists too? its stupid. of course anyone with common sense knows its people who kill people in acts of violence. mark it up to Dr.Spock. let kids do whatever...dont bust their ass when their out of line. then when they grow up to think they can do whatever..they go to prison...or worse..flip out..get a gun..and take their frustrations out on innocent people.

Artful Dodger: It's some kind of hog... a ground hog or hedge hog... or road hog? (Harley Davidson?)
It was overcast Saturday where I live, so that's supposed to mean the little guy couldn't be scared by his own shadow. If he gets scared and dives back into his home then it means six more weeks of winter. I don't understand the science behind this, but that doesn't matter... I don't understand how a few parts per million extra carbon dioxide molecules can severley impact the planet either, but that doesn't mean it isn't true.
Today Obama was in Minnesota claiming that if we can save "only one child" it will be worth the effort (to pass more gun restrictions).
Seriously, this guy is a full on liar. He doesn't gives a rat's rump about saving any "child."
He favors partial birth abortion. That's where you take a needle, poke a hole in the back of the skull of a "child" (nearly born child and fully viable) and then insert a tube, suck out the kid's brains.
And he opposes the "Born Alive" legislation (that's where if an abortion fails and the child lives, the child can be left to die (and they are left to die) on the table or in some back room). Obama opposed any efforts to secure the now outside the womb and fully born human baby.
Obama favors car manufactures making lighter cars (to save on fuel). BUT we all know that lighter cars contribute to more traffic deaths (and child deaths).
So much for that two faced lying sack of donkey poo giving a rip about saving "even one child." He couldn't care less if a child dies. It's all political BS from him and his kind. Scum bag.
Universal Eyes: We have all kinds of laws here depending on the State and local ordinances. But in some States open carry rules the day. I don't carry a gun but I am armed (I have two of them at the moment AND they are deadly).
