I for once agree with you VNA, I don't have a problem with culling done humanely, but do have a problem with idiots killing animals for sport/leisure. I have to question how many of these animals have to be shot with multiple rounds before they die.
Why not just cull the idiots, problem solved  :lol

It appals me too. One of twats was pictured last year after hunting a giraffe. A giraffe for fucks sake! If it s the thrill of the hunt they want, then how about hunting great white sharks armed only with a knife of the coast of the south african cape.

How does it work, do they have to pay the land owner / game keeper to "hunt" and then the kill has to be handed over to the land owner who then sells it in the farm shop.If so then great I see no problem in removing lots of money from rich Americans.

It’s a private arrangement.  However, in the highlands for the deer they’d need to be guided and the gamekeeper would select the target.  Apparently, the goats and the sheep were shot on Islay.  I get the impression they were left to it.   You don’t hunt sheep, you round em up.

No they don’t just get chopped up and sold in the estate shop (an estate shop is a rare thing)

What is it with kids today. They cant stand up. Three at the bus stop today, two sat on a blokes garden wall, the other lay down on her back with her feet up the wall. Yesterday, half way up the street, two girls sat in the middle of the pavement talking. They sit on the kerb with their legs in the road, chatting. Snowflakes

When 2 people being interviewed on a news or discussion programme, and 1 of them continually interrupts and shouts down the other person, totally ignorant and ill mannered.


It was an episode of  the BBC's 'Question Time', with I think 4 other pannelists, when Eddie Izzard excelled himself at this :z :z

I get the feeling that whoever the people are that create town council websites must have had previous jobs in puzzle shops or cut hedges to make maze's, whilst off their nut on LSD.
All i'm trying to do is report a road defect which is becoming very dangerous, and i am being sent round and round in circles ending up back where i begun, and then asks me to Log In even though i am clearly very much already Logged In.  :grumble :wall


It even says "Sign In" at the bottom of the page and "Log Out" at the top at the same time.  :look :pc

The new doctor who series focs me off tremendously. It is utter BBC PC championing shite now. It was bad enough when it went gayer than gay a few years back. im not homophobic btw but ffs, Doctor who? It was a fantasy scary sci fi when I was a kid, not whatever the hell it is now.
BTW rich yanks that love killing stuff and posting photos (particularly whole families of primates that look disturbingly human) want abducting, putting on an island, then hunting down by equally sick even richer yanks..

I've even downloaded their "Easy To Use 24/7" app, and it doesn't work either. It just opens up a map and if you touch a location nothing happens, no pin drop or anything.
No wonder the streets of Ealing Council are so ropey, nobody can report anything.  :groan

Ha ha!
That is what comes of living in Ealing, was born there and lived there in South Ealing for number of years before moving to Isleworth.
I lived at 4 North Road South Ealing just off Gunnersbury Avenue and Popes Lane, near the main gate to the park.
4 North Road disappeared many years ago when they re-developed that part of South Ealing.
I even bet the old Anderson Shelter that was in my back garden has gone along with the outside shitter.

The lights i ordered today were  touted as from London, but with a Chinese address for the seller.
I'll let you know how long they take to arrive.

That would be interesting. I sometimes think they get away with it because the uk address is the arrival port ! and not everyone scrolls all the way down to to the bottom of the listing to reveal the true address.

That's standard for journalists asking ridiculous questions, but then watching politicians debating in Parliament is no better either.

what gets my goat (not just today bit for the past two years)...MPs from every political party finding themselves unable to unite and do whats best for the country instead of bitching about all their own personal agendas and petty grievances. The UK got the Brexit vote, and it was to leave. Its a done deal. So whether its what those that run the country wanted or not, for focs sake pull together, put personal differences and pride aside, do whats best for us, our children and their children and sort it out....or at the very least (yes you blair,) shut the foc up and stick to raking in money you made of the back of dead british soldiers..

But (most politicians) are arguing about how to leave, not whether to. Unfortunately the 'great British public' had no idea on the answer to that one. Perhaps we should ask them that question?
