Jumpy is close enough....we actually get trained monkeys to rip it off for us

it's a simple enough process, the following one is for the 'billy bear' product.

The 'meat' is a combination of offal, meat, whatever is lying on the floor in other factories and some spices. it's all combined together and put through a mixer until it becomes a paste. It is then put in big steel wheely bins.

These bins are emptied into hoppers that feed the machine making the product. The worker takes a mold (it's made of metal and has a hollow cylinder shape in the middle.

A steel (mouth and eye, ear) shaped thing is placed inside the mould so that when the worker injects the cylinder mold with meat, this part will be left hollow.

these molds are then frozen in a brine solution for about 7 mins,

they are then taken out the other side of the solution and the steel inserts get warm water flushed up into them and are removed from the meat.

another slightly thinner version of the steel piece that was just removed is placed into the holes of the (now frozen) meat. and more meat paste (of a different colour) is filled around the small gaps left.

again they are frozen, and then the inserts are removed with warm water.

Finally the 3rd colour of meat to make the inside of the eyes is injected, the then get a lid put on them and are placed on a shelf on a moveable steel cabinet type thing.

They are then put in an industrial freezer until they are ready to be cooked in an oven for a number of hours and finally they are sliced are sliced.


the versions of the smiley face or pokemon etc have a step less than that. They only take two different coloured meats so they have one metal insert to make the shape, get frozen, then they get filled up and cooked.

• Strawberry picker - I'm from Wexford, wouldn't you know! Worst job ever as the fields are full of spiders which i'm afraid of, and the pay is crap if you're as slow at it as I was. Perk of the job= eating as much strawberries as you are able to.
• Gate Keeper for a castle in Wexford, basically sat in a hut all day listening to the radio, was very up on current affairs from hearing the news on the hour every hour. And got 7 quid an hour-Woohoo!

• Housekeeping in a hotel- was fired (or let go, as they kindly put it) after 3 weeks for being crap at tidying!
• Waitress (In a hotel for functions, in a bar/restaurant, in a greasy spoon with a cnut of a manager
• SNA (subbing and worked in a summer camp for kids with autism for the last 6 years)

Have a look at this thread, you will see why you haven't a hope of offering a poll broad enough to cope with the range of boardsie employment history.
