This wee gem.

“But let’s not forget that the reason some owners and trainers choose the road to Gore rather than selling on or re-homing, is that they’ve shelled out $10,000, $20,000 or $30,000 on a young horse, trying in vain to get it to be a winner. They don’t want anyone else to get it later and reap the rewards.”

And this.

A snapshot of horses sold at auction in Britain reveals that buyers sourcing animals for abattoirs tend to opt for larger horses, especially thoroughbreds and other riding horses.

Buyers seeking horses on behalf of abattoirs went for thoroughbreds and riding horses for maximum meat yield, the researchers found.

They study found that animals destined for the meat trade were around 2.5 times as likely to be larger – taller than 15 hands – than those bought by other buyers.

Longknives, I wish.

But I think you would agree that is where many horses end up, including race horses. I am not suggesting it is a problem. In fact it makes perfect sense.

I suspect the real reason behind Peter Hitchens’ conversion to christianity was an attempt to escape from the shadow of his much cleverer big bro. It certainly got him more attention, especially from the right-wing-anti-evolutionist-nutters. Not unlike those uncle toms who appear on fox news. It’s amusing how they come out with the same right wing cliche quotes that hannity or o’reilly spew. Obviously scripted. Some people will say anything for the money!

iKea – what does horse taste like ? Is it any good ? Any good with a bit of horseradish sauce ?

Could also try Ricky Gervais guideline for serial-killers – fuck it, kill it, eat it.

Do you miss Griff buddy ? Those were the days… 🙂

LRC, I had a great run tonight. About 10km off road. Relaxed, smooth and fast. Best one in ages. The old body has a few miles left in it yet.

How did your run go with the humanoid ?

And how about that whole hair cut & a job meme ?

What’s the difference between kiwis and americans ? The americans are in fact american, kiwis aren’t. So stop caring so much about their bullshit kiwis.

Dean Papa, Christopher Hitchens fell out of favour with the left for supporting the war on terror. I did not agree with many of his views on that particular topic, but generally he was a clever and articulate thinker.

Will answer after a cup of tea – I’ve been out and since coming back trying to catch up on the sugar thread and the GD thread. I’m fucking starving as well – I want to make biscuits. This Asian lady at dancing calls them ‘cakes’. They’re biscuits I tell her. She’s never going to get it. Part of me wants to smoosh the biscuit in her face – ‘it’s called a fucking biscuit. Biscuit, biscuit, biscuit. Not cake bitch. Biscuit !!’ This is what a fucking cake looks like (and you show her the cake before shoving that in her face too).

LRC, they eat horse in Europe on a regular basis. Never tried it myself though, at least knowingly.

Poor old Griff a ?

He so much wanted mankind punnished for crimes against Gaia. I can just see him now forlornly bobbing around the ocean in his wee boat smoking his body weight in weed every week grieving over the continued existence of modern technological capitalist society.

LRC, cakes/biscuits are NOT food. Eat something real before stuffing your face with that crap. Chickpeas are great, cheap, filling and a very low GI. Kea knows what is best for you !

‘it’s called a fucking biscuit. Biscuit, biscuit, biscuit. Not cake bitch. Biscuit !!’ This is what a fucking cake looks like (and you show her the cake before shoving that in her face too).

LRC, remember our talk about “people skills” ?

It is no use prancing around like a fairy, to impress the ladies, only to blow it by running your mouth off 🙂

Dude – she really is a clueless dork Asian fob with fairly piss poor English – and yet she’s one of the ones who thinks her English is stunning. I don’t think so.

You’ve got no sweet tooth mate – whereas I’m loving this lemon creme filling that I’m eating right out of the bowl – oh yeah.

Ah – what else? Humanoid. I did post comment. Humanoid managed to finish my 10km run in 56’59”. 28’45” at 5km and I thought fuck this isn’t looking good. So finishing in 57 is a good effort.

Job. I can’t do anything clever or useful. I can turn up and collect my working poor charity play money before giving it all to the rich people who own everything. Cool.

LRC, there are heaps of jobs for a guy like you and they are well paid; Politician, Ministry of Womens Affairs, Speculator on Markets…
