I think it's just muscle pain. Probably was the gym.

Turkeys right? Anything that ugly deserves to be eaten...I mean, wh has a pet turkey? Have you seen one being walked on a lead down your local park.

Wednesdays I don't go.
Thursday somebody coming.
Yesterday too busy on other stuff or more likely didn't feel like it.
Today and tomorrow - I avoid weekends - gym too busy.
Does the bone from shoulder to elbow ache if you press on it?
Anyway like I said,  you will know over the coming weeks.
Best of luck.

The Chat Room / The Christmas Turkey
Last post by Mups - November 29, 2025, 02:28:19 PM
Every year we get the same old story about all the Christmas Turkeys getting Bird flu.

They said a long time ago,  to keep any poultry indoors because it is the wild birds who bring this disease. 
I remember consumers complaining about so-called Free Range Eggs - which weren't free range at all because their birds had to be shut in.   
The egg  producers said they were just using the boxes up they had purchased!   
Even if this was true,  the price charged for true free range is much higher than barn reared, so prices should have been reduced.

So now its Christmas again,  and once again Bird Flu is rife.   
There was a farmer on telly last week saying how he has lost his huge, entire Christmas turkey flock because of this disease,  and he won't be the only one.  It's the same every year.

I would have thought half the trouble was because they are kept indoors in such close proximity.
Imagine if a thousand humans were shut in a barn for months.   It would only take one person to get flu, or Covid, or any other contagious disease,  and before you could blink,  almost everyone in that barn would probably be infected.   It seems clear to me, that the same applies to these birds.

If it is truly the wild birds bringing it,  how come Turkeys are still getting it when they are shut away from the wild birds ey?
So will you be buying one  for your dinner this year?

They don't give you ALL of their commision back. Just like the comparison sites - they get £50 or so and you get a stuffed Meercat or whatever.  TCB also do their own comparison site or you can get cashback from linking to a cashback site via them.

Quote from: klondike on November 29, 2025, 01:55:41 PMWhat's complicated? Click a link and sort out which boiler you need - mostly based on counting radiators from memory -get £100 off.

If you mean TopCashBack then yes you'd likely struggle and might not get the extra £100 anyway. If you set it up now though it would be ready when you eventually do get a boiler and could be used for free money on a lot of other stuff you buy online,
One thing I don't understand is,  if these people give you their commission back,  then what's in it for them?
