artisan Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 What was the casualty rate amongst the sheep? Now youve done it! Given them ideas. Next it will be, due the recent earthquake, Lamb is now £200/kg. Then it will be, due the recent increase in the price of lamb, all other meats will have to increase, in the interests of parity. Before we joined the gaffers cartel of the common market, lamb was one or cheapest meats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt that any sheep were killed though as animals seem to know when a quake is imminent and move to safer areas. And we call them dumb ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamb is one of the best of all meats, trouble is I tend to pig out on it, and make myself ill. I dont think there are that many in the centre of Christchurch though:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyfriday Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I probably shouldn't have, but I'd always assumed that islamic nations wouldn't generally be providing aid (in such vast quantities) to the USA. I admit it challenged my prejudice too and I was surprised by the help offered by Muslim countries. What's even more surprising is the refusal of aid from Cuba One of the first countries to offer aid, Cuba offered to send 1,586 doctors and 26 tons of medicine. This aid was rejected by the State Department.[15] Also, before the 2006 World Baseball Classic, Cuba said they would donate their share of the winnings to Katrina victims to ensure the United States embargo against Cuba was not violated. However, after the tournament, the U.S. government refused to allow the donation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
