    What will you kill them with?

    Are you forgetting the old adage Golfie? "There's no such thing as a bad biscuit...".

    (Agree about dark/milk digestives and bourbons being preferable though).

    For anyone interested in WW2, Ive just added this little lot to my SOE and POW collection.
    Silk RAF escape map. A section of wing spar from a crashed Mk1 Spitfire, SOE dynamo torch, various SOE concealed thumb knives.
    Pilots fighting knife (it did 30 bombing missions in Lancs) Stalag Luft 3 POW dog tags, and a piece of the floor of the famous cooler of Stalag Luft 3 (The Great Escape Camp). Also there is a 50 Ffenig coin with a razor for cutting bindings, issued to SOE agents in WW2. Yep this little lot please's me.

    My son sat a gcse English paper this morning. I asked him how it went and he said, "Fine, the second question was about football finance, so I gave them the full Duchatelet".

    So, if he passes we'll have the first known incidence of a Charlton fan with something to be grateful to Roly about.

    After a shit week on and off, culminating in a bit of an anxiety attack this morning at about 4am, keeping an eye on the brood of Yellow Wagtails in the flower pot has been a bit of a generally pleasing thing each morning. Got this photo this morning and happy to say that all 6 have made it so far and all looking really healthy.

    Not long now... -

    Had jays sniffing round the proximity of this nest the other evening and the Mr & Mrs Wagtail were going mad. I know it's nature, but my paternal instinct nearly came out....

    Do you mean air rifle? Must be able to take Jays out with that.

    Not in France mate, hunting with air rifles is completely outlawed here, but like I said it's nature, so i will definitely chuck a stobe at em to shoo em off. Although jays and magpies are on the general licence in the UK (well they were when I last looked) and are perfect quary for an air gun for pest control purposes.
