Maybe a Haggis!

I googled Beaver, Otter and Badger but doesn't quite match.

T.Rex of eagle.

You can laugh!

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

I'd say T-rex
mind you we have no scale - based on Jurassic Park you might have noticed other signs - any locals reported missing????

 

[classic33]

Nope. I was just curious.

Still reports of cars off the road and stuck all over the place.

Approximately 2-2.5” long?

You can't say we don't get variety on here, yesterday beds, today haggis.

And bullsh1t all the time.

Haggis tend to make a mess everywhere they go. Not very good eating either that's why there are so many of the buggers around.

Nonsense. A properly matured haggis is the food of the gods. You only get synthetic ones in supermarkets with no real taste.

I googled Beaver once.

Perhaps, Mo, Flick, or Oldwheels can clarify what the plural of Haggis is? Hagisses? Haggi? Haggs?
Mrs Tenkay and I have stayed at several Scottish B+B establishments on our various walking holidays. At several places there was a veggie haggis option on the breakfast menu, I tried it a few times and it ranged from a bit bland to excellent.

There is a specialist haggis maker in Dingwall who has ones of different sizes according to what you want along with cooking instructions.

@ebikeerwidnes, see the part in bold.
The noun haggis can be countable or uncountable. In more general, commonly used, contexts, the plural form will also be haggis. However, in more specific contexts, the plural form can also be haggises e.g. in reference to various types of haggises or a collection of haggises.

Whoa!!! What do you mean a "haggis maker", you said they were real. You mean you weren't the expert I thought you were

 

[Sterlo]

OK - so maybe the plural is Haggis or Haggises

but what is the name for a group of them??

herd

flock

mob

murder (is that crows???)

just wondering - weather is rubbish so I've nothing else to do (don't mention the ironing)

Surely it must be a haggle of haggis(es)?

 

[Juan Kog]

And bullsh1t all the time.

Plus all the Bullocks

Not really they generally move around the hillside in only one direction so one leg is shorter than the other. When they accidentally get on flat ground their gait looks a bit strange.

I am the same!

Many years ago my sister watched me walking away from her and told me that I "walk like a woman"! I asked what special way a woman walks, and she explained that she meant like female catwalk models - hip wiggling...

Years later I noticed something when walking to and from my then girlfriend's house. The quiet backstreet between the 2 houses has no pavement, and a pronounced camber. Both ways I would walk on the RHS of the road and felt comfortable doing so. I discovered that if I walked on the LHS of the road I felt like the camber was toppling me to the left.

I concluded that my left leg is significantly shorter than my right.

It is pretty obvious when I am cycling that I don't sit straight and upright on the bike. (And my saddles wear down one side.)

Or when trying to stand upright... That's why I was leaning on the side of this photo!

You are therefore a female haggis and I claim my £5

Sounds like you need to run different length cranks. Someone I rode with years ago used to have to do that it was the only way he could be comfortable on the bike.
