#1 Giblet stock takes me back to when I was a kid and my mother made it. We fed the cooked meat to the cat and used the stock for soup.

7. Increashe the thermoschtat to 8 after 20 minutes to seal in the juices.

8. Knock back three more glasses of Whisky.

9. After half an hour, get in the oven and check the turkey's progresh.

10. Take the bottle of Whishky and schpill a glashful all over yourshelf.

11. After another half hour, schtagger over to the oven, open the oven door and burn, spurn, churn - hic! - er, put the turkey the other way round.

12. Burn your hand on the blasted oven door while trying to close the damn thing - hell's bells!!

13. Try to sit down on a son-of-a-bitch of a chair and soak up five or six Whisky of glasses, or the opposhite - dunno!
