BC Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Just drew the turkey for tomorrow, and I don't mean with a pencil! I recall hearing the story of a farmer and son from Oldmeldrum had a big problem doing that to one turkey one year since it was more a kin to the size of an ostrich than a turkey......not to be beaten they managed to draw its neck with the aid of the the bench vice in the workshop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbear Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) Not back at work until 6th. Jan, Hurrah I thought! Then Mrs. Bigbear gave me the list of people coming here for meals... Ho-hum... Looks like we've got guests every day except the 28th., when I'm out playing a gig and the 4th. Jan, when I've offered to drive our daughter to a wedding in Hampshire. If I don't drive her there for 3 p.m., then pick her up at midnight, she'll have to pay a couple of hundred pounds for train fares and a hotel. Dad's taxi is free, even at the age of 30!!! ) Happy Christmas to you all! Edited December 26, 2013 by bigbear 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
