Are you saying you'd find it easier to eat them alive?
Hey, it's the Great Depression Part Deux, times are hard.

Oh, and we plan to get chooks. Although I'll struggle with eating animals we've raised, let alone killing them.
That said, we had beef cattle grazing next door recently, the farmer needed a couple of favours from me with regard to fences & water & one afternoon he brought us some big thick chunks of home killed porterhouse steak, and they were fantastic. I suppose I could adapt.

Interesting to see Howlett start the game with a Munster haka.
They should totally ensure someone called Herman is in the team at all times though.

My grandparents house, built in the 1920s, had a large garden and chook house. Now there is a second house.
Mine too.
Just to buck the trend, our house (built 1905) had an extra house on the property until the 1980s (2 storey thing, jockeys used to stay there on racedays - their horses out in the stables). Now we park our car on the spot it sat, they took it away somewhere, which was a pity.

I'v heard that goats are becoming the new sheep
In the eyes of their owners? Or actual genetic modification?

I remember reading a profile on him - I think he was Romanian, and spoke 4 languages at the age of 3.
Yes I could google - but where's the joy in googling everything all the time? Why not share the odd imperfect memory?
This reminds me slightly of the SImpsons episode in Australia where the scriptwriters spurned any research & wrote the episode around half remembered teachings from primary school. Bloody amusing.
So anyway, without Google, Houseman also collaborated widely with Orson Welles in theatre & film & appeared later in life in one of the worst screen adaptations of one of the best books I've ever read - Peter Straub's Ghost STory.

Houseman. But for what it's worth, Huston said this:
“The directing of a picture involves coming out of your individual loneliness and taking a controlling part in putting together a small world. A picture is made. You put a frame around it and move on. And one day you die. That is all there is to it.”

Meanwhile, I can see the return to fashion of allotments & the like.
Maybe. Anyone want to buy any macadamia nuts?

Do you reckon we're going to nationalise all the farms if the going gets tought?
And then what, smothered in a mountain of beef? Honestly, there's loads of unused arable land around, just sitting idle.
There's a couple of hectares next door to me even, 6 foot high weeds (until the local beef farmer ran 8 cattle over it for a month or so recently - I am in awe of their efficiency). It'd be great for growing anything - biofuel, food, cannabis...
We still have a lot of capacity, and at some stage, people are bound to start converting away from dairy.

That's either an easy error or a clever gag...
Did one do W3 & the other It's Academic? Too lazy to google. There wsa a time I believed them to be brothers, but I understand that's not the case.
