I used to work in the spare parts sales for a Fiat main dealer. Our assistant manager was a great practical joker, the best of which was the Xmas decorations for the retail counter. Some of these were tied to long pieces of fishing line which could be undone and the decoration moved up and down in full view of the customer, but not the poor sod trying to serve them. The perpetrater could view what was going on from behind the display. You would get looks of disbelief then nudges to the partner (if they came with one), perhaps the odd customer might make a comment. But, all good clean fun and no-one got hurt! Other tricks were parts boxes attatched to the bins with elastic, parts replaced with bricks so they weighed too much, or heavy things removed from boxes etc. etc.
We also sent an apprentice across the road for some empty boxes ........ the place he was sent to was the funeral directers ..............

If fox’s are left alone and nothing done they will breed and spread (along with the diseases they carry) as they don’t have a natural enemy any more, for year’s humans hunted them and that has controlled the population.
Surely the number of animals in an area is dictated by the availability of food. If an area can only support 2 foxes when they breed their offspring have to leave the area or face starvation.
If an area can support 30 foxes and only 25 live there then they will be joined by 5 more. If 2 are killed then 2 more will replace them.
Natural predators are also controled by the number of prey. The more prey the more predators the fewer the prey the fewer the predators.
Hunting is a very short term solution and has very little long term effect. For hunting to be effective it has to be a cull. Every fox in an area. It is the availability of food that is the most important factor in survival.

All I can say is 'farmers, get a better fence'!!!
Now, what do you all make of the following?
I know a man who will trap a magpie, in order to attract more magpies to it so that he can kill them.
I'm not sure how he kills them, but he does it because the magpies 'kill the small hedge birds'
I cannot possibly understand why he would play with nature, even if magpies actually do kill other birds (does anyone know if this is true?) then what right does he have to interfere?
I whole heartedly believe in survival of the fittest, if one animal has killed another animal, then the prey that died was not fit to pass on its genes- it was too slow to survive, just as if the predator is too slow to catch the prey, then it starves and should die and not pass on its poor attacking genes!
If we get involved, then we are upsetting this natural balance....
Why does this man think magpies are his problem to deal with?
And, does he know that magpies mate for life?!
:x :x :xHas been said before, but if farmers have to put up beteer fences to keep out predeters from their assets which is, after all what the free range chicken are, then costs will have to be passed on to the consumer, pure buisness.
Now magpies. Yes, magpies do hunt smaller birds and they will even kill their own. I witness the former serveral times a day where I live. I used to see loads of sparrows, starlings black birds etc. but these all but dissapeared but have started to make a bit of a come back since our local hunting/shooting fan trapped and killed 13 magpies from the local farmyard last year. I haven`t seen any thrushes for several years and I didn`t see any long tailed tits in my garden this year either.
Only time I go to the fair is at the Great Dorset Steam Fair. A great mix of vintage and mordern travelling rides, Wall of Death and other side shows. Dont go on the rides myself, but I love standing and watching the idiots scaring th s*it out of themselves while I have a pint of scrump and a burger. Saw one very patient and compassionate side show owner help a disabled boy "win" some prizes on his cork gun stall, so they aren`t all rip-off merchants.

Three times I tried to reply to this and every time I wrote summat, then clicked on an emoticon, my text dissappeared :scared:
Will say that the one who pinches your bottom has got good taste :rascal: :rascal: so dont be surprised if "he" follows you to a munch!
Seriously, I am open minded about this, and while a tv programme does nothing to help the non believers, my view is and will always be prove that they cannot exist, as life outside this planet may exsist, ableight not in a form that we may recognise.

Big thanks to Minxy for a great evening out. Not going to do the naming (and shaming?) bit, so I`ll just say hi to the usual suspects and a big hello to people who I met for the first time!
Now I picked up a black jacket that I think belongs to Devondelight, but if I am mistaken, please PM me with the details and I will foward it on, no ransom fee is required!
Edit - the owner of the jacket has now been traced
ops: :oops:

The vehicle I have in mind is a 4x4, pulls up 20 tons with ease, does 50 mph and attracts ZERO rated tax. Its downside is that it only has one seat and does around 8 mpg. Its size means that you have to take up four parking spaces in Tescos and it definately wont go into a multi-story car park.
Yes, people who know me will know what I`m talking about ....... a tractor, more specifically a JCB Fastrac ........ :giggle:

I remember when we had three cats. My parents went away on holiday for thr first time without myself or my sister. We knew when my parents were due to arrive home as the cats assembled themselves outside the front gate and sat down until my parents arrived. When my parents car turned into our road, all of the cats stood up! How did they know?!
