T'is a "greasy" meat, with very little on them.

Shoot two, one apiece.

Needs cooking on a rack same as duck

If I see the chef again, I'll pass that onto him.

Since it were he that shot them, and his gun was nearby, I wasn't going to argue.

I don't like greasy meat.

Compared to chicken for instance.

I'm not here yet

How to book booster jab for 2 people ??
Myself and MrsD have been invited to have them.
As she must be in a wheelchair we want them at the same time/same place.
We can phone 119 or go online.
Which is best ?
If I phone 119 do I get to speak to a real person ?

No idea. The rules and phone numbers and protocols are probably different here in Wales

119 will get you a real person, you'll even be given the chance to opt for an English speaking person!

One of my pals' wife has MS, and, is in a wheelchair, much of the time, he was able to book booster by phoning 119, he spoke to a "real" person, and was able to make consecutive appointments at a venue convenient to him. The only thing I would say, based on his experience is.. research the possible vaccination venues before hand, the person on the phone has access to the list, but, they have "as the crow flies" distance data, not actual driving distance etc. So, in my Pals case, he was able to choose a venue which was not closest (as the crow flies), but, which he knew was easy to get to, and, had adequate parking.

Also, as I understand it, in my area at least (Tyne-Wear), some if not all vaccination centres are doing "walk-ins" (who qualify within the criteria, age etc) ie, no appointment.

Good luck.

Well if I can't help with a simple enquiry like that, I'd not be much use.

I somehow feel insulted by that

I knew the answer to your question, if I can't give you that answer I'd not be much use.

Any better?
