Went to Forest Food show on Sunday. Amongst the things I bought was a pair of partridges. I told OH I had put the penguins in the freezer!
Can you imagine the look I got?

[Mamyalynne]

P p p perplexed?

[tonyav]

I can understand the link with freezer and penguins though, Caran.

P P Pick up a partridge. Mmm, doesn't sound quite right. :-) x

[retrocop]

Aren't two partridges a brace or is that only pheasants and penguins ? :-)

Penguin isn't particularly tasty apparently:
>>>A particularly unflattering description of penguin meat composed by a Belgian seaman in 1898 suggests that it won’t be replacing chicken anytime soon: “If it’s possible to imagine a piece of beef, odiferous cod fish, and a canvas-backed duck roasted together in a pot, with blood and cod-liver oil for sauce, the illustration would be complete.”

Oi!

What happened to my links?

I also suggested that they might make interesting pets though:

Chris Penguin isn't particularly tasty apparently:
It is if it's covered in chocolate.:-) x

In fairness, the penguins would probably quite like it in the freezer.

"Penguin isn't particularly tasty apparently." 'Twould appear that no-one told the sharks and seals and wales, Chris:-)

Back in the late 60s, we were seated around the dinner table and we somehow got talking about religion. My younger brother (about 11 at the time) said, "We're not Catholics, are we dad?" Dad replied that we weren't. "No" continued my brother, "we're prostitutes." For his quite innocent remark, my strait-laced dad gave him a clip round the earhole.

Spice; sometimes i type too fast for my computer to keep up and it sometimes misses letters. I once got kicked off a football forum (see what i did there) when talking about the former German striker Stefan Kuntz:-(

Jesus . That brings back painful memories. Seated around the dining table on Sunday,aged about 5 we were listening to Jean Metcalf on Two Way Family Favourites. A request came up for Elvis singing Jail House Rock to some squady in BFPO Senelager.
My father immediately started tut tutting and asking how this so called singer got his pay.
I innocently said,"But Daddy. He is quite famous and lots like him".
I never saw the slap coming,knocked off my chair and literally saw stars.He did knock me flying and my dear cowardly mother said nothing.
From then on I swore I would dance on his grave.

Ah would say that you've flippered....

[Bazile]

Are you sure you didn't put the partridges in the pear tree ?

I would check if I were you - they might have flown away

When I worked in a large department store, an Asia gentleman asked me to direct him to get Diareeze , I walked with him to the pharmacy and explained what he wanted, the man looked very perplexed and animated ,shaking his head, it was established after a few minutes ,he wanted Diaries :0/

[agchristie]

Some partridges are better off than others ya know.

It's all about the aves and the ave nots.

(Soz,bit flighty this morning) ;-)
