An ikon!
He invented meat stuffs previously unknown to humanity.
Cue 'gobble gobble' and other similarly tasteless type punchlines to jokes . . .

Much worse than manning.
I can't be sad; I can't be anything other than mildly pleased. A human life is a human life and that, but still.

The Day.. the turkeeeeeey died..A long, long time ago... I can still remember How that turkey used to make me smile... www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-11845703 Norfolk turkey tycoon Bernard Matthews has died at the age of 80, his company has confirmed. ...We were singing, "bye-bye, Mister Turkey pie." Drove my knife into your turkey and that turkey was dry, Them good old birds were drinkin’ whiskey and rye Singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die." RIP Bernard matey. bootiful.

I'm hungry now Costal.  He had the right name did Bernard. I wonder if he'd have been as successful in factory processing if he'd been called Hugh King? You get the name right you've won half the battle. Matthews was simply superb at marketing...he even appeared in his own adverts. He gained the public trust. And I'm not convinced that Jamie Oliver's anti Matthews campaign, wasn't in some way politically motivated. Didn't do Matthews much harm. In 2008 his turnover was £335.5m. Turkey Turnovers? Now there's a product he never thought of. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....  |

Furthermore...what in god's name was a 'turkey twizzler'? AH Good grief! But again you see the name. You could sell dead men's penises if you gave them a catchy name. I think the genius of all food marketing was 'Mr Brain's Faggotts'. They tried to tap into revulsion to attract consumers. It worked. I think I'm onto something. |

You could just flip the words around and have "Mr Faggot's Brains" ;D I'm quite partial to the odd faggot though.  Note to Patrick: You can't stop the signal man! ;D AH |

Tell you what - if you hear his body mysteriously disappears - I wouldn't buy anything from his factory for a couple of years! |
