Pretty quiet weekend for me this weekend to be honest, I spent Saturday having a driving lesson, and went out for a bit on Saturday Night. Which was fun. It was one of those nights with a beer that you put the world to rights. Two main topics of conversation (well, there were 4, but 2 aren’t really for the general public) during my short visit to the pub were this.
The first is simple - why can’t you get turkey eggs? I mean, at first we thought that turkey eggs were too valuable to eat, but then I thought that once an egg is laid unfertilised, it can’t possibly become a turkey. Or can it? Or have I got the sexual systems of the Turkey completely wrong?
Secondly, we are in the playoffs part of the season, where four teams compete to be promoted to the Premier League. Now, when picking teams to go up from the Championship to the Premiership is easy. I like teams who have never been in the Premiership before to get promoted. So far, this year we have Stoke City (who have been already promoted) and either Bristol City or Hull City (who incidentally are the only football league club whose name you cannot colour in), who are both looking good for the playoffs. I think I’d prefer Bristol to go up from that group, if only because I’m not a big fan of Hull. Is this just me, or does anybody else feel as passionately about this as me? Who do you want to see promoted?
Anyway, it was a quiet day, and I ended up getting the bus home. Which, on the way home, got stuck on the corner, so I had to walk home.
Fantastic!

First result on Google for “turkey egg” says:
“Since turkey producers have a low rate of egg production per bird, most of the turkey eggs are used for hatching more turkeys, so they are seldom available to the consumer except in some specialty markets.”
It took a while to figure out what you meant about colouring in the names of the football clubs… and I eventually figured out what you meant….and…. dude… errm, WHY DID YOU KNOW THAT?!?
While I am a staunch Bristol Rovers girl, (I was born on the gas side of Bristol) I still hope City get up into the prem. I will probably be smothered to death in my sleep by my family for saying that seeing as the rivalry between the two teams is pretty vicious and they all hate city with a passion.
I just think it’ll be good for Bristol as a whole to be up in the premirship, not to mention I get to go and see my first love (man u) at Aston gate easily.
Mate, that is like 400m from the house, if that!
Turkeys are never left to lay unfertilized eggs. They are too precious as table birds and they do not lay eggs the way that hens do.
You can get ostrich eggs now! Jonathan Ross had one on his show! It was weird!
ahh smelly useless buses! When they go through west gate towers I breathe in!
I always root for teams that have never been in the premiership. That is always exciting.
