I believe that the offence of failing to pick and and dispose appropriately of dog crap comes under the control of the local authority, many have specific Dog Wardens to deal with the problem. Try contacting them

That doesn't apply to cats also does it?. I'm sick of other people's pussy's dumping in my garden :'(

Sadly, no it doesn't, we have the same problem with them here. Oh, and foccin Wood Pigeons shitting everywhere, absolutely everywhere. In the bird bath, on the patio table and chairs, the pavements under most lamp posts, telegraph poles and trees are covered in the stuff, and I believe it can pass a virus onto humans. They appear to have vacated the woods and become Street Pigeons. I started shooting them some years back (along with the grey tree rats) but shot that many I was having trouble disposing of all the bodies

...just waiting for someone to mention Spinal Tap :guitar

I heard a story once (it might be apocryphal) that it was actually based on real life.

If you were playing alongside Lemmy from Motorhead, it didn't matter what guitar and amp you had, somehow he was *always* louder, so apparently the joke was that your amp might go up to 10, but his went up to 11 !

Did you read that the reintroduction of pine martens is culling grey squirrels? Red squirrels are genetically aware that pine martens are to be avoided, but the grey has no prior knowledge

Motörhead headlined the first Bol d’Or at Magny Cours in 2000. Yep, they were loud :lol :thumbup

Birds currently nesting in my chimney pot. If you thought Motorhead were loud and irritating.....

One of the most genuine rock stars that ever lived

As someone whose teenage listening included Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, Motorhead were.... so so

Was he? That explains a lot.
Never was a fan of that 'prog rock' stuff
It had to be the blues

No I didn't. But that could the case. I recall on holiday on the Scilly Isles perhaps 10 years ago, sat on a beach eating a picnic, a song thrush suddenly appeared right next to, then jumped onto my hand and started to eat whatever it was I was holding. The wife sprinkled a few crumbs onto my other palm, and the bird swapped hands and tucked in. The same happened with some House Sparrows. Apparently, its common there, because the birds have no natural predator on the islands

Turn 70 towards the end of this year, so the DVLA has notified me that I need to renew my licence. You can do it easily on line, but if you wish to retain all of your categories, then you need to send off for the forms. Renewing on line means you loose C1 and D1 entitlement. That means a medical examination and an eye test in order for those two to be able to sign the forms. The Opticians charged me £10 for the privilege, the Doctor is charging £180  :eek

[robbo]

£180 for your medical isn’t bad. Mine was going to be £250 :eek  , and that was 5 years ago. Needless to say I don’t have those categories anymore.

Its the daftest things that set me off.

Guardian new item: French Fishers blockade ports.

Sky News item: French Fishermen blockade ports.

A batsman has become a batter, no doubt Third Man has disappeared too, and no one will be bowling a Chinaman anytime soon I'd guess. Will Humans just become Hu, and how long before some jobsworth asks me how I identify?

[mtread]

Because the Guardian report includes Fisherwomen, and the Sky one doesn't?  :b

[Captain Haddock]

And there's only one name for a fisherwoman, Annette.

:lol
