Beef Embargo

Yeah an embargo on the escargot cargo about the time of Fargo.

Was busy watching argo with margot in Mar-a-lago

We went to Dublin for the weekend and had to go through some sort of industrial fumigation chamber.

Remember the fuel protests in 2000?

This reminded me of being at school at a time when a load of French exchange students visiting. One of the older boys was trying to get us to all chant ā€˜mangez bouef Anglaisā€™ at them. Awful times.

I remember my dad dropping the house key off at school for me, because he was going out to queue for petrol.

My mum still doesnā€™t buy beef to this day on account of the 90ā€™s beef embargo.

Went on a school trip to Ullswater for the week while that was onā€¦ most of the activities we shouldā€™ve been doing were cancelled and we had to go through a sheep dip every time we went in or out of the hostel place we were staying at.

remember solemnly eating some beef meal, being told that it would be the last beef we ate for a while.

This is quite poetic if you pronounce ā€œmealā€ like ā€œmileā€

Remember Clara Peller?
