    Whenever I've had the computer scam , I've managed to string them along for about an hour before I go " oh , you mean I have to turn the computer on ".

    I've had them on for several hours . I'd tell them that I'm taking the call on the toilet , and tell them that I'm constipated and make straining noises , and I've even told them that I'm laying in the bath, and I'm touching myself. They're so desperate to scam you out of money , that they'll just keep talking to you. I used to get really fed up of them , until I joined the 419baiters site , and learned how to play them . The way I look at it is , it's great entertainment, and it's free , and while they're making me chuckle , they aren't scamming an old person out of their life s

    Noooooo, be nice to them. It's great fun. I had the first one for ages this morning. I managed to string him along for about half an hour before I told him that I'd died in the crash that they wanted to help me claim for . Apparently I'm a "bloody barsteward "
  5. Yes but they didn't have feathers and a beak
  6. I'll have a go at most things, but feck that for a game .
  7. I've saved you a very special one ( it's actually a giant otter ).
  8. Thankyou for the eeeerrrr plug . Fresh Christmas hamsters ( ready oiled with tincture of ginger) , will be on sale in all good pet stores from the 17th .
  9. You must be joking , he's the richest man in Norfolk. He owns , three turnips, a goat , a Morris minor , and a january 1968 edition of razzle ( the one with May West and the pop up boobies).

    I used to have a ball as well. I've used allsorts over the years . I've no idea why , because it's never actually frozen .

    I'm guessing that would be very difficult to do . Just bolt them together with a large plastic flange in each ibc , and cut the hole out . That's another one to add to the project list.

    I could set up something like that in my woodland, with water running in from the shed roof. I'd always have fresh trout for the bbq

    I like the sound of that as well . I wonder if trout could be grown on in a set up like that .

    That just made me think about one of the farms that I shoot on . All of the cattle drinkers around the fields had goldfish in them.

    Depending on how big your pond is , you can get pond heaters . The one I used to use , was like a fish tank heater , only inside a stainless steel tube , and with a polystyrene collar , so that it floated on the surface of the pond , and keeps the water just above freezing . My pond isn't that big ,10' x 10' , so a bigger pond might be much harder to stop freezing.
  18. It's weird, but I quite like the idea of a sky burial .
  19. You good ol Norfolk boys have a culture all of your own .
  20. I seem to remember one culture that smokes the dead to cure them , and keeps them on show . Again , that would seem insane to most of us , but cultures can be vastly different, and full respect to them if it brings them comfort .
  21. That sounds absolutely horrific, but we're very sheltered from death in this country . To those people, it's just the way it is I suppose.
  22. I think it was the same documentary that showed the burning of bodies on the banks of the ganges . Poorer people couldn't always afford enough wood to fully burn the body of a loved one , so half burned bodies were just thrown into the ganges .
  23. That's true. Our lives would seem insane to them . It's hard to believe that human beings could live such different lives , yet still thrive.
  24. It seems freakishly macabre to us , but if they have the belief that God created everything , so everything is OK, it must be a unbelievably stress free way to live your life . I would imagine it could get quite lonely though , as they walk away from family , and everything they previously knew.
