Anyone know the Oasis song about not making free standing frames when in a bad mood?



















Don't strut back in anger.

Possibly, as I do tend to get things **se about face but the reason he wanted the head on with the eye's in was to see him through the week

"Can you save me a sheep's head and leave the legs on? "

"I'd like half-a-pound of bacon please".

"Yes Sir. Lean?"

.... forgot you need to do actions. Never mind.

Since we are talking about butchers, I had a friend who always eyeing the girls and when the girl was a bit skinny, he used to say "I seen more fat on a butcher's pencil". I never said anything about it, but I've never seen a butcher using a pencil on meat! Perhaps there was a time when they did.

Corporal Jones' butchers shop had a separate cubical for paying so pencil prices on white wrapping essential. Before my time but I do remember sawdust on the floor (blood?) and buying a few items again wrapped so prices on the corners pencilled for totalling and the till. So Butchers always had a pencil behind their lughole. Tripe, anyone?

The pencil behind the lughole would gradually accumulate a crust of congealed fat - hence the expression.

I once read James Herriot's vet books. In one he recounts tales of Mallock the Fellmonger. This guy would slaughter sick or old
livestock and butcher them at his yard for dogmeat/fertiliser/etc.
He smoked a pipe which was caked in hardened gunk. His kids would play in the yard,climbing over piles of bones and general
grisly stuff. Sounds bad, but apparently the family never had a day's illness. Fit as butcher's dogs in fact.

Similar principle - A Framer's Glue Gun.

That's an ergonomically shaped grip.

I've posted photos of the finished strut backs in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
