As this seems a topic that serves you great distress, I will put forth the utmost dilegence to release a chuckle that will warm the cockles of yer heart:thumb:

Waste of time, beneath that cold exterior beats a swinging brick.

I'm just chuffed someone with a US military bacjground can read and write, helps me sleep a teensy bit easier ;)

Ireland and Iraq/Iran sound a little too simillar for confort.

Don't worry, as long as your country helps police its Afgan border, I'm sure all will be fine:thumb:

Whilst not rare, as such, I did see a geezer fingering his burd right outside Liverpool Street station around 11pm last Thursday night as I was making my way home after Hooky.

I mean, we've all done nawty things in public in our time, but this was dead public, and these weren't a couple of youngsters - they were a pair of 30 somethings, suited and booted, proper City types.

He was giving her the up and under at a bus stop on Bishopsgate. What made matters worse was that she was wearing white pants below black tights so it brought extra attention to the spectacle as she had her skirt hitched up somewhere around chest level!

There was loads of people wandering past around that time too, the dirty beggars.

It's not summat you see every day in the City! :nonono:

In the space of three hours in Manchester on Saturday I saw two fights, one between a pensioner and two rail employees and one between gang members outside Johnny Roadhouse. Then my son and I had to jump out of the way of a skidding car which had gone the wrong way down Grosvenor St. then attempted a high-speed u-turn.

Manchester: dodging the rain and the bullets

And the Vauxhall Astras :nod:

Rare for England but saw a snake the other week.Was out cycling in the countryside and it, erm , snaked across the road right in front of me.Not a big snake obviously.Must have been an Adder or grass snake i guess.Then a few days later saw another snake squashed and flattened on the road a few miles away from the first snake.2 different snakes i would have thought unless they travel up to a few miles?

Ireland and Iraq also both have people of the same religion killing each other over trivialities such as how to pray, and other such petty ecclesiastical fine points which most of them probably don't even understand.

Nice one Mick, if theres a little pool in the river with no overhang you can push a branch into the bank for them to sit on,they'll probably go for it. Don't do it too close to the nest site though!

No we sat on the BANK opposite for a few minutes only.My girlfriend is CLUED up as to what to do and she has made this a LIFELONG quest.The animals i track by FOLLOWING their CRAP would make your EYES water.The latest sightings a few weeks back are 3 BUZZARDS which until recently i'd never seen around CHORLEY.:lol:

Used her tracking skills to find you? Plenty of old buzzards around Chorley I'd imagine?

Really? Kingfishers aren't considered rare yet, are they? That would be a crying shame.

I went up the Lodge in Sandy when I should've been in Barca. Not the sort of place you'd expect a Kingfisher anyways cos it's more geared towards heathland but the bird populus was utterly dire that day. Endless amount of Crows, and one Lesser Spotted Woodpecker. And nothing else at all. Not a sparrow, nor even a pigeon! You get more bids in my back-garden!

I've always wanted to see an Osprey. An actual Osprey divebombing a lake fishing prey from the water. That would be a dream come true.

Saw an Osprey yesterday on our way back fom Scotland, stopped off at Coldstream and one flew overhead at tree top height. Sadly it wasn't fishing and just flew south.

If you want to see one Al go to Rutland water just north of Shug, they've been introduced there as an attempt to get a breeding English population.

Kingfishers aren't in danger at the moment.

Kingfishers are just a bastard to spot. Just a flash, normally down the path of a waterway, and they're gone, leaving you feeling excited for the rest of the day.

I saw a fucking massive whale in the Caribbean and I didn't feel as excited as the odd few times I've glimpsed a kingfisher.

The beer's alright too :thumb:
