well i woke up this morning, opened the curtains to find two ducks in my garden :D
they were there for a long time. my mum saw them at about 7:25, i woke up at 7:35. then they were still there when i went for my paper round and went about 15mins after i was gone. it was really weird :lol:

    I'm surprised they didn't eat your flowers!
    Next time, you eat them before they eat your flowers ;)
    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

    Two questions:

    1. Are you a gypsy?

    2. If so, had you parked your caravan on an airport?

  • How the fark do you lose a microlight, it's not exactly a set of car keys is it.

    Maybe the pilot fell out and the microlight crashed into the garden/airfield?

    Or maybe some drunk kids nicked it and dumped it? Joyflying teenagers!

    + marrow.

    They think we've got fish in our pond. They're wrong!

    (at leat I hope they're wrong, if we HAVE got fish in our pond, they've not been fed in 3 years)

    Ducks are not unusual round our way, mainly because there's a duck pond at the end of the street. Later in the year the Canada geese will stop by, d-lock the ducks, sexually assault the cat and sh*t all over the pavement.

    At the moment we are woken most mornings by morbidly obese wood pigeons and those little feckers that sound like distant car alarms.

    We get buzzzards, herons, moles, voles, newts, mice and the odd r-a-t too being by by a river.

    In the Summer we get the "Lesser Spotted Englander". Strange creature, always curious about Celts and stuff. Buy's lots of sheep/miners ornaments and leeks...

    I'd always thought that was purely a manx superstition.

    Do you also call them "long-tails"?

    No, the electricity and indoor toilets scare them. Also there's not nearly enough wicker men.
