Bad news for the Chickens

Posted on | January 11, 2008 | 5 Comments

Despite what I said below, in a politician-like U-turn, Mrs. Jimmy Page’s Trousers now seems much less convinced about the plight of the chickens and the benefits of buying something that hasn’t lived in a vast warehouse, wobbling on its feeble little legs lest it plonk down and burn its arse on its own and its mates’ shit.

It seems she subscribes to the ‘if I can’t see it right now, it is obviously not happening’ school of… ermm… knowing things.

I’ll keep trying little, sad chickens.  I’ll keep trying Hugh.

    Mrs. Jimmy Page’s Trousers seems pragmatic.

    The Mista refused to let me leave a similar show on (has Jamie Oliver joined the Save the Chicken campaign? I think it was the Naked Chef (fully clothed) I saw surrounded by chickens in a type of chicken factory when the Mista bellowed, “Turn it off!” (He was eating chicken at the time.)

    There is a lot to be said for the ‘if I can’t see it right now, it’s obviously not happening’ / if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to witness it then it obviously never existed in the first place school of thought.

    What Iraq war?

    Clarissa: I’m afraid there is a world of difference between pragmatism and tightness. That said, I did manage to persuade her to get in a nice free-range chap for tonight’s dinner. I think that the tasty difference may have helped cement the happy-chicken thing. Fingers crossed.

    Feel free to post odd comments based on peculiar trains of thought. After my Erdinger-fueled stream of semi-consciousness post last week, I’m in no position to judge.

I mostly sit around all day and drink tea. Occasionally, I write stuff and send it to strangers so they can humiliate me and debase my efforts. Other than the self-harm to dull the shame of failure, it's not a bad life. Like I say, there's tea.
