The irony of it all is that fox hunting embraces not just the landed gentry but the entire community associated with it.

Like I said, I don't (but used to) ride with the hounds, but yes, I do shoot fox predominantly around August. 10 acre fields will yield as much as 20 brushes ... but shooting the buggers with 5 guns doesn't exactly make up for all the redundant humans hanging around, all necessary and essential to make up the hunt itself.

by PeterCS Thu 13 May 2010, 01:00

Wouldn't it be quicker just to shoot the humans and parade their arses aloft?

Just a thought.

Kill 'em all. Good idea Pete.

But I know what you mean ... I've heard Fiji or one of the many Pacific islands is the ideal place to step out of the rat race - only problem being that you'd be perilously close to a large island down in those parts ... you know the one that has people speaking with a nasally twang and whose dream is to one day, in the distant future, win back a small urn .....

Some of us have Merls - not sure you have, old son!

Somewhere on the original thread I stated that a Tory Minority Government supported by the Lib Dems would be the least worst possible outcome of the election.

Don't want to say I told you so, but fark it - I'll say it anyway - I told you so! Labour have been consigned to opposition where they will no doubt eat themselves, leaving the Tory/Lib Dems to try to sort out the unholy mess that is the UK economy.

Are they? Sounds like a lovely dream to slit your wrists by...

My apple trees are in blossom and I've seen seen a blue tit, a blackbird, a couple of wood pigeons, several starlings and my resident robin already this morning. Like I said life goes on. I might go on a bit sometimes but at least I care.

What's your Tory name?

Take the first name of your grandparent, the name of the road you were brought up in and your headmaster's name.
Mine is Daisy Henderson-Bennett Laughing

I'm just off to see the bluebells at Tehidy. What a beautiful time of year.

Lavly!

Our Magnolia tree is blossoming and there are blue tits, wood pigeons and even a wood pecker around. I like late spring, even when it should technically be early summer.

You ought to try it sometime Lever ...

It's very relaxing ... trust me!
