Well thats knocked the stuffing out of me. R.I.P

[Kowalski]

There's no fowl play suspected.

[ampersand]

is the funeral going to be in turkey? /icandoshitpunstoo

[Cardboard Box City]

I thought he was already dead.

[rexclark]

Still nothing on the news, but i'll be trying to keep a breast of the situation.

[Paul ™]

Am sure he had a 'bootiful' life

RIP

I thought he was already dead.

[5co77ie]

He's been dead for years

[jump]

People must be flocked in the head to make jokes about someone who just died.

[sifi]

Why is this in the jokes bit?

[Paul ™]

No idea why this has been moved

[RABun]

I think it falls under the "other stupid stuff" bit.

RIP turkey twizzler dude.

Bernard Mattews dies on Thanks Giving ....that's what I call irony

RIP turkey twizzler dude.

This is no time for a celebrity 'roast'

It's on the Bernard Matthews official site that he died yesterday!

Keep it on here if you want, but I think it's a bit off tbh. I'm no fan of some of the allegations against the company, but he was someone's grand-dad. And Uncle too. In fact, possibly the same person's uncle and grand-dad, given he was from Norfolk.

[Ed209]

A family member has said he's being kept in the freezer till christmas, when he'll be cremated. Its what he would have wanted

[worm]

On thanksgiving?

How unbelievably fitting.

[5co77ie]

not because you thought he already died years ago then..?

[ampersand]

and that - and the fact that this this thread contains nothing but puns. I'm still convinced he died years ago!

[5co77ie]

you're not thinking of the mother in law guy are you?

[ampersand]

to be honest, i assumed that he was just a fictional character. or that the company had started a couple centuries ago and was obviously deid.

[loscfestivals]

I'd like to thank him for Turkey Dinosaurs

[eFestivals]

On thanksgiving?

How unbelievably fitting.

Why? Bernard is British, and there's no Thanksgiving.
