Now, calm down and 'ave some of these beauties! With your lamb Blimey Mort, they do look like spraints!! For those who do not know (and I certainly didn't!) Mr Google has the following information to offer concerning "spraints". Spraints Otter spraints (droppings) are black or dark greenish and tar-like when fresh. They are loosely held together and have a distinctive, musky/fishy odour, often described as smelling like newly mown hay or jasmine tea. With age, spraints fade to grey but retain a sweet, musky scent. They are often found in conspicuous places. By contrast, mink scats, which may be confused with otter spraints tend to be more compact and twisted, possibly contain fur and smell distinctly unpleasant. Enjoy your pots, Ants! |

What me deario, you ain't never heard of spraints? Tush, Tush, you townies don't know what it be like to track wild animals through Hundred Acre Wood do ye? I suppose Norf Lunnon don't give the same opportunities. Although, Mort, you have quite turned me off my potatoes I think I will parcel them up and send them to you!! |

I saw a dead fox in the gutter of my street in N16 last week. Hit by a car, rather than run down sportingly by the Stoke Newington and Hackney North Organic Hunt. |

I've just been trundling around TOP, a rather depressing experience  but I have brought back a small souvenir from the excursion. www.freemosquitoringtone.org/ Hope the link works  Sadly, it would appear that my auditory function is that of a 2,000 year old person  A word of caution to those with cats. My chaps started clawing and generally battering the speakers at sound levels that my puny human ears couldn't detect  Morty, I hope you read all that thread and noted that the top frequency supposedly represented is above the threshold of the sample rate that was used to try and capture it, so that file is silent anyway.  Bryn, yes I did realise it isn't exactly a clinical study but, as a bit of light entertainment for a Saturday morning I fort, what the hell!? Anna, your results confirm what I have always suspected. You are an unruly 16 year old Hoodie with a brick stuffed down your T-shirt given to loitering outside Scummerfields while thoughts of anarchy, mayhem and the destruction of civilisation compete with the insatiable desire to obtain oblivion by ODing on a KFC bucket of fries. With extra ketchup! Lord bless 'ee Mort moy love! It do say I are under 29 years of age! |

Mort, Link worked fine - seems I can hear it as a 39 year old or younger  The 8khz (for everyone) is actually painful!!! I can hear it as 30 years old or younger!!! Well that's cheered me up. |

Reminds me of when I was teaching , a Maths teacher was seen running very fast down the stairs of a high block.. he ran outside and picked up a pheasant ( dead) that had flown into the side of the building. 'That'll do nicely for dinner ' he said!!

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeapathy to things rugger-related (excepting that one time the college team were playing shirts and skins; I recall being involved in several pedestrian collisions, and observing several others, while walking past the pitch that day).

Mae Hen Wald Fy Nhadau.
Mae hen wald fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri,
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwlad garwyr tra mad,
Tros ryddid gollasant eu gwaed.
Gwlad, Gwlad, pleidiol wyf im gwlad.
Tra mor yn fur, i'r hof bau,
O bydded i'r heniaith barhau.
They will do their best hopefully

I don't understand team games at all. What on earth does it matter who wins?

I went for an interview at a public school with a very good reputation and at lunchtime all the conversation was about little boys' games - what the score was last time, who was going to play in the next, etc. What narrow lives these teachers seem to have, I thought.
At school we didn't play rugby and no one ever talked about it, including the internationals which hadn't been built up so much by television then.
