I'm so jealous
We had lots in the garden a few years back and now I can't remember when I last saw one

Have you seen any of their reminders laying around anywhere as that is a good sign. They do seem a lot more wary than I can remember them being in the past. The 2 little ones are the first to show before dusk followed by the adults later on.
A lot of the houses here are from the 50's and have long gardens so they have plenty of room to roam about, plus there are trees and hedges.

One of my favourite drinks is a large Pernod with loads of ice but you then need to wait til the ice has melted so it's best having a pint as well, something very cold and a bit sharp like a pint of the old 'wifebeater' (Stella) or preferably 'Budvar'.

I'm just finishing a bottle of prossecco

Nope. I've got excited over hedgehog poo in the past but that is no longer in evidence either

I prefer a double espresso with a Pastis.

If you have very cold icecubes (about half a dozen) and leave it for 20-24 minutes it goes almost crystalline in texture as the alcohol 'eat's' into the ice leaving a semi liquid that is below freezing.

shave what??

I could try waxing. But should I choose a wax with carnuba in it?

 

[lutonloony]

Which is a bummer cos it works. I'm eking my supply out!

The only ones that do for me, Am going to stock up whilst I am on my pre paid certificate, and will then be selling them on the black market

I was caught in the middle of "staff wars" in a hospital tonight whilst visiting my father-in-law; one member of staff asked me to wait outside the ward due to "protected meal time", then the (self-announced) lead nurse told me I could go in, then the ward staff asked me to leave and then the lead nurse told me to go back. I told them I would wait until they sorted it out, at which the lead nurse said "please take a seat whilst I close this discussion down..."

I was afraid not to

Doesn't the water make the pasty go soggy?

I almost landed on the bonnet of a Trabant tonight which stopped at a junction as I approached and then pulled out in front of me First time I've ever seen a Trabant in real life and not a first sighting I will forget. The smell of two-stroke petrol is still lingering in my nostrils.

Typical driver of a posh German saloon

The lead nurse was in the wrong. Protected meal times are there for a reason and, unless your father in law was terminal, you should have been asked to wait.

I was asked to wait, twice.

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Well, now you know the 'lead' nurse is wrong if it happens again you know what to do.

Tell her to fark off?
