ah Nige, make something up, yours was one of the ones i was actually looking forward to hearing
When I was in 4th class in school, our teacher took us on a tour of Granby's sausage factory in the centre of Dublin. When we arrived, the owner of the factory, Mr Granby, greeted us and introduced us to his son, Nigel, who was to show us around the factory and give us an insight into how sausages were made.
Now, the tour was fascinating, loads of gleaming machines, squealing pigs and menacing churning noises. As we finished the tour, Nigel leaned against the balcony over the vast sausage pumping machine and began asking us whether we'd enjoyed our little trip. As we readily affirmed our approbation, poor Nigel fell foul of the shoddy safety regulations rampant in mid 1980s Ireland. The railing he was leaning on gave way and he tumbled headlong into the sausage pumping machine. The result was predictably gory, and it has lived with me to this day.
My handle is a tribute to that brave, brave sausage making man. I still believe that he is happy wherever he is, because he left this world in the form of the one thing he truly loved - the humble sausage.
