Why should I spend more time in the English Countryside?

[RedRider]

No because, overshadowed by Charlotte Coleman's death as it is, it is too sad.

I've made a faux pas as we urban sophisticates say.

@User1314. Yes dragons are indeed magic. Especially this one, thats why I cant tell you what Im holding. Wink wink.

Just so long as you put up with our right to point in fear at the strange metal box thing you're pootling along in then throw our pitchforks at it

Here is what it is like for you city boys and gals



Probably best to stay away.

Anyone else see the similarity between the banjo playing inbred and the cheating scum Lance Armstrong?

Unfortunately, yes. He looked a bit, er, not right!

 

[Maverick Goose]

Comparing Lance A-H@#$ to banjo playing inbreds is surely an insult to banjo playing inbreds!

...Oh yeah and just because it's rural don't think there are birdies everywhere, I built a new bird table two weeks ago and so far only one sodding robin, ungrateful gits.

Bird table update; worth sticking with, we're awash with garden birds now, all sorts, new arrival yesterday was a chaffinch.

I'll see your chaffinch and I'll raise you one greater spotted woodpecker.

Curse you!

Curse you!

Actually it's three greater spotted woodpeckers with ideas above their station.

They are picky eaters and will only eat Waitrose bird fat thingies. They shun the RSPB stuff and will deign to eat sunflower seeds in preference to it.

Did my first proper country road cycle the other week and a peacock darted out in front of me nearly making me crash before gracefully flouncing off. Don't think I'd see that in the city.

We're doing quite well for variety: house sparrows, blue tits, robins, blackbirds, chaffinch and I believe a songthrush. And pigeons. Ours have standards, we tried a cheap bird food mix found once and they weren't interested.

We've got all of those plus, nuthatches, siskins, bull finches, green finches, chaffinches coal tits, magpies, a sparrowhawk responsible for the death of two pigeons, collared doves, nesting wrens, jays and starlings.
