    Made me think of this.

    Worst job - worked in a slaughterhouse in Guildford when I was a teenager. I was given a sledgehammer and told to crack the cow's skulls with it. When I asked about bolt guns they laughed and said they didn't have anything so modern. All morning I killed cows. If you didn't swing the sledgehammer hard enough, the cow went fuckin' nuts and tried to break the crush. Hit the thing too hard and the sledgehammer smashed the skull and you got covered in brains. By lunchtime I was knackered, but when I got to the canteen everybody stood up and applauded. Turned out they were having a laugh with the new guy and I could have been using a bolt gun. I walked out and never went back. Didn't even ask for wages.

    That's why they had to put in cctv  in slaughterhouses in England, not sure if they have to in Scotland.

    I worked on a poultry farm for a short time and it used to make me feel sick the way the birds were treated , from live day old chicks being put in a grinder to the old ones being rammed into transport boxes, their wings and legs being broken in the process.

    The words 'fair weather' do come to mind...

    They had their lowest crowd in 44 years last season,they also had a few games under 5 thousand with a some of those closer to 4 thousand.United fans always turn out for the big games when they're confident of a win.

    They sold 28000 tickets for the 2010 final,won the cup and 6500 turned up for the first home game after the final.
