    I was just taking a pi$$ and I had this brilliant idea: rubber lamp posts.

    Oh yeah - I remember that.

    The problem with Zebra crossings is that the Button is too high for Hedgehogs.

    Only problem I have with rabbit is that there's not much on them and it is a bit streaky. Hare is delicious.

    When I was a kid we had shops with rabbit, pheasant etc. hanging up outside but I guess the EU food safety Gestapo put an end to that. Had a proper fishmonger too, now only see them in a few markets or supermarkets.

    Nothing to do with the EU. I think you were closer with the bit in bold. Plus you get a lot more meat per carcass with chicken.
    Everything is the EU's fault, don't you know that yet? JRM will have us peasants back eating rabbit soon (as long as we don't take it from the squire's land).

    In normal sports, a death or a serious injury facilitates change or at least a discussion on how to change things.

    It's remarkable this sport does not seem to want to do that.

    Imagine 5 deaths in a single TDF

    Well, that's another issue: the button is too small for Zebra Hoofs.

    I think you're talking about pelicans crossing... zebras don't have buttons to press...

    Or puffin or toucan (no 'imaginative' person at the DfT / TRL or whoever comes up with these has found a suitable bird based acronym for a couple of decades now). Ironically, if riding a zebra you wouldn't be allowed to use a zebra crossing, you would need a Pegasus crossing so you would have to get off and lead it across.

    Toucan isn't an acronym, i'm not sure what you would call it - possibly some kind of pun?

    I would be very careful crossing a zebra crossing with a zebra - they wouldn't be very visible to cars, but probably quite safe from lion attacks.

    That would require a risk assessment dependent on geography.
    If the Zebra crossing was in the middle of Wolverhampton then the risk of being hit by un unsuspecting car is greater than the risk of lion attack.
    Whereas, if the crossing was in the middle of the Serengeti...

    ....... then the risk of being hit by a Supersport TT doing 150mph is greater than the risk of lion attack... ;)


    Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

    Squirrels should be banned from using the roads. There's a very high number that are suicidal, and the suicide season for them seems to have arrived early this year.

    They're experts at using telephone wires and electricity cables so should stick to their high wire acts, and stay away from the tarmac.

    Yeah Toucan was just desperation to keep the bird theme going (two can cross). I couldn't think of a suitable phrase either (other than shite).

    I love the way they can't decide which safe route to take and after scurrying around in various directions eventually opt for running under the wheels

    Since we're on squirrels and cats, in various places... this is a slow burn, but the dénouement is worth it.

    Is being high on the herb and eating horse a Lib Dem thing?

    Does that mean Tories eat herbs while high on horse?

    Right, gen up eyebrows.

    Why do people eat horse and not donkey or mule?

    Surely they will taste the same.

    And why is it socially acceptable to eat pork, lamb and beef and not otter?

    All are plentiful, all are meaty.

    Otters would be tricky to catch I reckon.

    Google says otter is a Native American delicacy and tastes like roast pork, but they're nowhere near plentiful enough in this country to be a reliable food source.

    Donkey burgers are popular in China.

    Grazie anche a lei!

    But if you farmed otters it may be a winner: tasty, i'm presuming nutritious, small so you can get loads in a field so not enviromentally unfriendly like farming beef cattle but still give them loads of room to hang out and chill........

    Why don’t we eat humans, there’s plenty around that if they were used for food. They then might have actually contributed something for the good of society.
