  1. TC; I put my nuts in wire baskets and can't honestly say I ever remember seeing a starling on them. Now, raisins or fat cake? Hell, yeah!
  2. Trouble is, Gareth; They operate on the policy of investigating themselves ..... Brilliant, isn't it?
  3. Prepare for a bruising, Scotty. Last time I showed that one, on here? The bleeding heart " I was an abused child! " brigade f**king near had me hung, drawn and quartered ~ for having grown a set and developed an ironic sense of dry humour!
  4. I suspect, JD, what ever it is, it has a Lot to do with the passage of the time when ye mother could say: " You wait till ye father gets home! " And the kid wouldn't stand there, hands on hips, and sneer back: " Yeah? And what's he gonna f**king do? Cos I only have to ring that f**king number ....! I Know My Rights!!! "
  5. I reckon I could add a chapter to that.
  6. Not personally, mate. I just rip all the old nest material out, come November. And Yes! I Do wear all out PPE! F**k breathing That in, or having something get on me and brought indoors! Anyone wanting to though? I suggest diatomaceous earth. Takes the guess work out of it Pet starlings? Never be a favourite of mine, mate. Messy f**kers. Shit for gold. I'd Love softbills. Just smaller, more discreet shitters. What food are ye offering, mate? I offer peanuts, in wire tubes, year round. Yet to see a starling look at one. They can't eat seeds either. But, rats w
  7. You said that just like Marko, in " Taken "!
  8. JJM; It Was f**king revolting, mate. I mean, these things weren't just like moving specks of dust shit. They were like Clock Work! Big as f**king money spiders. Very clearly visible. Urgh! Malters; I don't have anything, personal, against rats either. Wild creatures can't help the wild creatures, and even diseases, that parasitise them. Anyone ever tells me they have starlings in their roof space? My first response it to offer to make them some nest boxes and block the access to their roof for next year. Wild birds can't help their parasites. But, we can help ourselves not allow
  9. That's just mental! Dear little things! God, how I long for some birds of my own.
  10. That's how many starling chicks I ringed, today. Few more broods to go yet too. It's amazing the difference just a few days can make to their leg structures. Short roll of jelly like fat, on Friday. Long, hard, thin, bony thing by Monday! That's not what I'm here for though. It was just seeing Fireman advising Spartan to ditch the old nest materials. Hell, yeah! I should say so! If ye could have seen the evil little black things that went racing up this birds leg, as I lifted it from the nest, today! Lice, I shouldn't wonder? Certainly not fleas. Too big for mites. F**king vil
  11. Don't be silly! Leopards would drag their carcasses up trees! Puma's are Mountain Lions. I'll bet there's precious few mountains round there. Clipo; Any signs of a caustic scent? Old aerosols? Unemployable chavs? If so? There's ye answer ............... Lynx!!!
  12. Yep. Came across this, independently, earlier on. Very light on the details. But, there it is. How old was he? Fifteen? So; He's learned by now that he can expect forty minutes detention and a hundred lines; " I Mustn't Kill Teachers ". Time off for fast scribbling and a Child Councillor to sit with him the whole time. Then, he can launch a tax funded suite against the school, for Not preventing him carrying a knife. And expect an all expenses (tax) paid safari holiday, to relieve the stress he's going through, waiting for his massive (tax funded) compensation pay out. Yeppers. I
  13. F**kin nutter is what he was! Just been all over google. It's not even mentioned! That's obscurity for ye!
  14. Make a nice kiddies climbing frame though!
  15. Lonsdale. Queensbury ..... I knew it was something like that! Funny how the mind works! FFS! I see moody Mark's got one. (He's become a right miserable f**ker lately!) If only we'd known the score when we were younger. We could have dreamed up a few really crap traps. Got them cobbled together by the nearest Blacksmith and bandied their existence around. Then, sat on them for forty years or so before slyly letting it be known that one was available! Nice little pension fund!
  16. OTC; What was that f**king great 'Fox Trap' called? The one like a pyramid made of steel bars? " Lonsdale ", or some bloody thing. Imagine having a few of those in the garage! Get a pic' up. Give the lads a f**king good laugh!
  17. Buy a case of those things, lads! Stick them up in the roof space and put ye grand kids names on the label. They'll be a passing flash in the pan, now. A joke. And, the first rule of Trap Club? Grab and preserve Shit! Thirty years down the line? Their very existence will have become a rumour. And examples of them will be gold dust to a new generation of Collectors!
  18. Guys ....!!! With all due respect ....! Dy's original post, here, could certainly benefit from the odd comma and full stop. Please; Before lashing up what might have appeared that way for any number of reasons, might it not help the cause if it were first punctuated? I'm afraid punctuation is a personal weak spot, with me. I can't help there. But ..... And, Dy: What can I say, mate?
  19. I never knock anyone about nest boxes, mate. They've been an obsession of mine all my life. " Bird Gardening ", they used to call it. I've got some right old books on the subject too. Ye really should get ye arse on that Group. Shit loads of information lodged there. Cutting plans and all. Oh, and this isn't looking like the earliest starting of seasons either. Ye still have time to bang some boxes up and get takers This year. Box will seldom get a taker, sat around in ye work shed.
  20. Mr Wilkes; F**k Yeah!!! North, through to East is the generally accepted preference, mate. Starlings particularly like east. House sparrows, in my experience, are buggers for the north. North facing wall, covered in ivy? Sparrow metropolis. Nest boxes get hot enough as it is. They're effectively little brooder sheds ~ and we all know what They're like! Go and hang one out in the full glare of the southern sun? Ye go from brooder to oven. So, yes, west to southerly exposure is generally to be avoided
  21. FFS, lads. I hate to disavow you lot. But, ye really All missing the whole f**king point here. Does none of ye remember what " Ditch Shitter " so often said ....? " It's Just A Cabaret! " Suggesting I'm " Ditch Shitter " is like calling Robert de Niro " Travis Bickell ", FFS! It's a role he once played! An adopted persona. Want " Ditch Shitter "? Visit his Blog. Me? I'm " Outlaw Pete " (Click that player thing below, for a clue as to the explanation ~ and a good listen anyway) I expend more of my energy, here, enthusing about ringing birds than I do trying to amuse any
  22. Max, Read it and weep. HSBC was pandering to islam over a decade ago anyway. Ye f**ked.
  23. :rofl: Oh, god all f**king mighty!!! I can't breath!!! You wait till I show my boss what they've done to us!
