Old Boggy Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 I've just had to sit through an episode of Tipping Point Celebrity Special which included Jonny Vegas, Linda Robson and Ann Widecombe. As this was for charity, no real criticism can be made on the concept of the programme. Jonny Vegas and Linda Robson both supported and made money for their chosen charities, which were for Cancer research/care. Both excellent and worthwhile charities as no-one would deny and good on them. However, Ann Widecombe went through to win £6700 for her chosen charity ...... SUPPORT FOR UNWANTED GOATS !!! I just couldn't believe that the audience applauded when she announced her choice. Who on earth decides which so called 'Celebs' go on these programmes and vet their chosen charities ? I'm sure that there are many on here who could relieve that particular charity of a few goats as they do make wonderful eating and would provide a welcome meal or two for some hard up families. I used to keep goats, so can vouch for them being a culinary delight. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Cabrito ...Hmmmmmmm!!! Yes I agree they are very good eating. We used to have a few goat backstraps marinated and smoked by the local meat wholesalers in Llano Texas when hunting there. Sliced thin with a glass or two, brings back fond memories. Heh! Try it with roe/muntjac backstraps, superb. People spend their money as they see fit and good old Anne, always controversial, she knows that books her for the next wage earner, who can blame her if their are such stupid people about.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 And of course the question that has to be asked............ What were you doing watching that absolutely unbelievable pile of ****? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panoma1 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 To me she's comes across as a weirdo, a strange person, who tries to be something she isn't! Awkward, an introvert who tries to be extrovert, a spinster who appears to have problems forming close relationships with people, maybe a misanthrope?.......Easier, less demanding and less complicated to form attachments to animals...........she won money, it's hers to give to whom she wishes, by giving it to an animal charity, she is probably running true to type.........it takes all sorts I suppose!.....then again, like myself, perhaps she doesn't want to give money to any charity who's chief executive (and other employees) creams off tens of thousands of pounds per year in salary and expenses out or people's charitable donations?

Scully Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 I like Anne Widdecombe; she strikes me as an intelligent, articulate woman, with a logical outlook, and she was one of the few politicians who had the nounce to declare the handgun ban for what it was.

Benthejockey Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 I’ve got 3 goats fattening at the minute. I’ll gladly take her charitable donation. They were cheap because they’re 1/2 bred dairy goats so won’t ever fatten like a proper meat breed but they’ll do us for the freezer. They’re very funny to have around if not a bit of a pain in the ****. I need the £6700 to buy more electric fence and batteries for the fence, as soon as it’s flat they’re out. They make the funniest noise when they get a whack off the fence they’re expecting to be off 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 They sell goat in a lot of Halal butchers round London and also a few trendy butchers like those in Borough Market do it too. Its not as unusual as you might think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
