  1. FA CUP

    in General Talk

    The fact is that between these two Utd won the war (winning the title) but lost this particular battle. It was a crap game, and all that won it was one good move. Giggs wants putting out to grass, Ronaldo never turned up whilst Rooney ran himself into the ground for nowt. Somebody like Kaka from AC Milan always turns up for the big games, he doesn't hide away, and that's what Utd needed. :hmm: From a cynical point of view, no matter what happened, those players on the pitch won't have to scrimp and save for their annual holiday, or to provide a decent christmas for their family. I'll bet no one came off that pitch with less than 100k in their pocket for this weeks work! Nobody is worth that much. Did you notice the middle tier empty very quickly? All the tickets went to the corporate groups who had no interest in the game what so ever. :censored:

    Sorry Simoman, it's FOUR books not five. The first book I think is called, "Wildlife that lives in Drystone Walls north of Bury" and the second offering is, "Know your Fox Scats, a breakdown of Fox shit", both with line drawings. :icon_eek::big_boss:

  7. Blair's rural legacy.

    Very well put by Simon Hart. Just watching the television at the moment and everyone's falling over themselves to pat B-liar on the back, but, as is normal in this country, after a day or two reality will hit home and once we start to look at his legacy, the shambles he's created will be highlighted. He's a tosser amongst tossers.

  11. Badgers

    Like Wilf says, leave 'em be. Let them run amok amongst ground nesting birds, dig out young rabbits and seek Leverets in cover, dig out wild Bees hives and kill the already quite scarce Hedgehog as well as take the odd lamb or ten and finally cause massive earth damage. We're told by those that think they know better that badgers don't cause any trouble, so let them take the rap for our dwindling wildlife! I'll bet the silence will be deafening when the shit hits the fan. :no:

  13. red and roe together

    Nice photos. I got into work early yesterday morning and when I glanced over onto a reservoir embankment, I spotted a Roe. Ok, not very interesting, but this one had three legs, one of the front ones was missing. I thought at first that it was injured, what with it limping, but on putting the glasses on it, it was definately missing a leg. It's been around a while now and has been mentioned before in conversation, but it's a first for me. Had a look this morning and there was a fox on the same embankment, a big fox with a real dark brush with a large white tip on it, and at 9 o' clock in the morning too. I got a photo of the Roe but it was a good way away, so it's a real poor effort. :(

     

  16. Anyone heard the Cuckoo yet?

    in Wildlife and General Photography

    The bubbling sound is indeed made only by the female, but I doubt if many are here yet, males arrive first. The female tends to utter this noise shortly after laying her egg, it's a kind of celebratory song telling all and sundry that the deed has been done, (in the afternoon). The so called "laughing" call is what we call "Gowking" and is uttered by the males (they also "cuckoo", females don't) when they are challenging each other for territory, females or they are alarmed. I called one in last year and had it feet from my head as it came to see where the call was coming from. It was going bananas at me. Ours are due this week, normally around the 28th. I've studied them for years and could talk for hours on them. Each female Cuckoo will predate the same species of birds ALL her life and not various ones. Also, if you find an egg of the Cuckoo in say, a Meadow Pipits nest, then search locally for pipits nests, because the chances are that you will find another egg that has been predated by the same female. Her eggs will be almost identical and can be linked easily with the same female. I love 'em. Fascinating birds.

  24. Dog Lads Get Hammered

    What they're attempting to do is put digging a fox on par with digging a badger or the taking of a birds egg :o , and although no sentence was given it's supposed to and will, act as a frightener. I agree with Stabs, get yourself a good man in court who can argue the toss and wipe the floor with those animal police. Would the costs incurred go back to the arsepca and so they recuperate their loses? :angry:
