You've successfully deflected and waffled your way out of your original stance which normalised extremely odd and disturbing behaviour.Quite happy to leave it at that to be honest:emoticon-0148-yes:

Hang on, Ric - you asked if I'd accept animals being killed in my backyard, I've answered you with examples of when I have. That's not a deflection.

I could be wrong, so apologise in advance if so, but you've written about family or friends of yours poaching around Driffield when you grew up. Taking a goose from a lake is no different.

Nope, I didn't need a tv licenze, now I do. :emoticon-0138-think


The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Nobody needs one, when the goon comes to your house revoke his right of access. I've recently done this by post since I moved house. At my last house I told him politely if he didn't leave my garden I would be launching him over the fence. They soon give up and start bullying the people who don't know that they are actually powerless to do anything if you tell them you don't watch TV. There is plenty of good advice on you tube on how to deal with them and letter templates to send them online.

Save that £100 or whatever it is and put it towards a few bevvies!

And Lo did the BBC rot and wither on the vine and verily did it die as funding became barren and, such as in a desert, did the BBC dry to a husk. And many did rejoice. And the naysayers did cry out with joy and fill the void with their vapid, spiteful bile. And from the ground did spring up gammon flavoured spittal and Trumped up bias. And there was much nashing of teeth and smiting of the vulnerable and unloved, not just of twenty persons but of hundreds and of thousands, in the streets and on the seas. And so was the Truth re-aligned; with the screaming hatred of the Fox and the incidious, unchecked nonsense of those that are Right.

It's a sort of shades of 'future legend' .

"Family badge of sapphire and cracked emerald,any day now,the year of the Diamond dogs" ....Aaaaaauuuuwwww.
 
I'm ok since I moved here, it only costs me £7-50 for the year. When they mentioned it I thought it was a monthly payment and asked if I pay by direct debit, they said no, that's it for the year.
 
This ain't Rock'n'Roll
This is Genocide.


Unfortunately, too close to the truth.
Also unfortunate that we don't get albums like that anymore,I was a huge Bowie fan(especially the earlier albums,Diamond Dogs etc).

My Granddaughter is 15 and huge on vinyl,she was round one day talking about Bowie and I sent her up to my cupboard to help herself,that was one of the ones that she took:emoticon-0148-yes:50+ years old and as relevant now as it was then,so far ahead of it's time!!!
 
She just needs more practice. Either that or she is quite clever. If I am given a job and make sure i **** it up, I am less likely to be asked again :emoticon-0102-bigsm

Ironed a sparkly top in 1985.

It melted.

Cost me around a tenner to replace.



However, I've not been allowed to pick up an iron for 40 years.

Money well spent I feel.
