I have no problem with them listening to their own programs. (providing all the housework etc, has been done).
They can sometimes get a pretty raw deal, bless 'em, so if they want to sit around the wireless listening to patronising guff then I say good luck to them. It'll save their pretty little heads from having to think about anything of real importance. (like parallel parking, map reading, the off-side rule, why on earth Chelsea bought Torres, and Skyrim) |

QUOTE (stewiegriffin @ Jan 23 2013, 07:32 PM) I heard it on the BBC. I think the Telegraph did something on the news too. Um, are you saying that members of this forum should be guided in their deliberations by something you say you heard? Yeah, 'bout right. |

QUOTE (x2lls @ Jan 2 2013, 08:59 PM) Do foxes climb trees as well as squirrels? No, they stand on each others shoulders wearing a large trench coat and a big hat, and wait at the bottom. QUOTE (spartacus @ Jan 2 2013, 08:57 PM) A 3 mile stretch of sea (which may have been far less in previous centuries) has forever thwarted an animal as cunning as a fox yet animals have supposedly crossed vast oceans to populate Pacific Islands and suchlike? How odd........ Don't shoot the messenger. They are also absent from the Scilly Isles, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands and all the Scottish islands except Skye and Harris. |

QUOTE (NORTHENDER @ Jan 2 2013, 03:49 PM) Yes and when lovely cuddly mister fox leaves he leave dozens and sometime hundreds dead. No-one said he was "lovely, cuddly," I'm just curious as to why the Hunt imported him to somewhere that he wasn't. If the Fox is a pest, and that's the reason for hunting him, then why breed cubs and release them to do more damage and harm? Simple question. |

QUOTE (NORTHENDER @ Jan 2 2013, 11:04 AM) Doubt if you have ever seen a poultry farm that has been visited by Mr fox have you No, I haven't seen one either, but I do know of one that got a visit from Brer Fox, and apparently it was a real nasty mess after he'd been through it. Cousin of mine, smallholding (inc. Rabbits and Chickens) near Freshwater, Isle of Wight. Cost him a fortune. Of course, the Fox is not indigenous to the Island, so fox cubs were imported there some years ago to give the Medina based hunt something to do. If the Hunt were truly concerned about damage to peoples property, pets and livelihoods, they wouldn't have bred the fox cubs in the first place would they? But once that red mist of blood-lust covers the eyes.... So, please, no more about "we only do it to keep Foxes down" or "Foxes are a pest which need to be controlled". The actions of the hunting brigade (importing Foxes where there are none) gives the lie to those statements doesn't it? |

No, no, no, what you actually said was: QUOTE (motormad @ Nov 20 2012, 08:40 PM) But I do not want a bunch of immigrants coming over and then claiming benefits for them and their 18 kids. You did not qualify it at all. Don't try to weasel out of it. There are those on this thread who will know that you've got economic migrants, Immigrants and probably Asylum-Seekers all confused into one. You probably won't like this, but here is the Tier system that prospective Immigrants must satisfy: Not quite as easy as the Tabloids make out |
