By the way, what sport are you blokes going on about?
Is this cricket or badmitten?
In the meantime, I've had my fill of cold and snow and it isn't any better back home!
I'm ready to go trippin on the beach:

Italy are defenitely getting better. The Scottish scrum were approximately one stone heavier than the French but their technique completely nullified our weight advantage. The French expansive game should light up the World Cup.Originally Posted by The Atheist

Never mind Gilliatt Superbowl tomorrow. Last year was a disaster as Soundo stole my snakeskin boots and ten gallon hat.
Enjoyed the video, it is a bit worrying to think all that girls are grannies now. All we need now is a Carmen Miranda download.

Ahhh...I believe I figured it out; rugby.
Say Jocky, what ever became of Helmet, your pigeon?
I was reminded of him as I watched hordes of his kin beginning to roost on our new building under construction.

Croquet. The sport of gentlemen.
As long as they don't light it up by beating us, that will be fine. Just as they did in 1987, beating Aussie then losing to us in the final will be fine.
We're drawn to meet them again this time.

Unfortunately, alot of the lads from Chippendales played for the wrong team, and, no doubt, filled the wrong niches...I mean, from a ladies point of view
I think it's time to bring out the Lady Gaga outfit and run to the girls stripclub, Pip. I think both you and the dancer may be pleasantly surprised
It might be a nice change to get some Kiwis up here anyway; I've noticed that most of the male strippers I've seen are shorter than I am and look as if they haven't seen water in a while...
Yeah, 20 dollars for 5 minutes work; if it wasn't for having to put up with the drooling customers
Thanks Gilliatt, I loved that SNL
What a clever woman...did she tell you what happened after the shorts dropped from the excess weight of the coinsI am so glad that it wisnae me that downloaded the Chippendales video. What an embarassment !
Unfortunately Old Helmet has departed this vale of tears for the great pigeon loft in the sky. Not to worry, I have created a new breed by crossing a Hungarian Giant with a German Nun ( believe me it took a lot of doing ) The result is a male who I have named Bartok. He has an eight foot wing span and a thoroughly nasty demeanour. He will only eat his maize if it is mixed in goulash and his water has to be consecrated by a priest before he will drink it. I really must see about a bigger loft.

Haha !! funny.
Please keep the species over there!
I shudder to think of the mess Bartok and his progeny will leave behind!
City budgets will be depleted in no time!

I would pay good money to own one of these.
Racing pigeons, I can understand, but what I don't get are towns that allow - and even encourage - huge flocks of pigeons to live and defecate all over the place.
Keeps car groomers in business, I guess, but I think I'm going to have to wait for a global outbreak of H1N1 avian 'flu to take hold before someone realises that pigeons are not our friends.
You have a great line in hulking male avatars!

I suppose I had better make some sort of defence of pigeons.
All wild pigeons, apart from ring necked doves and wood pigeons, are descended from domesticated birds. In medieval times they were a vital resource hence the vast amount of dovecots. The birds were used for food and the feathers for bedding. The eggs were not only used for food but also a vital ingredient in mortar. Most of our magnificent Cathederals and Castles are held together with pigeon eggs. Technology eventually replaced the use of their eggs and improving food resources made their consumption redundant.
The result, they were released and became feral.
The principal reason they live in cities is the propensity of a large percentage of the population to feed them. That is why ring necked doves and wood pigeons are descending on the towns in increasing numbers. When advocating a mass cull it would be well to remember that with food resources coming under pressure, the ' rat with wings ' may become a vital staple once more.
Any more carping and I will set Bartok on you.
" There are few more impressive sights in the world than a Scotsman on the make. "
Alas, The Lord of the Manor would have the dovecote and the peasants were not allowed to catch them. It was the original steath tax, the pigeons would feed on the peasants corn, and his Lordship would feed on the pigeons.
Which kind of reinforces my point. Breeding pigeons is an aristocratic pastime and not for the serfs and villeins.

I like the idea of them being used as food thanks to rising prices. Bloody easy to catch!
Cheaper than chicken! Get your roast pigeon here.

Leave it to Jocky to raise a stoic religious group of pigeons; the ones around here have no appreciation for sensibilities, make love in flight...in traffic. We all start watching the birds...forget the car in front of usUnfortunately Old Helmet has departed this vale of tears for the great pigeon loft in the sky.

I had one blind pigeon nest in my roof a few years ago...the smell was around for two years during the summer...ghastly. I don't know if healthy pigeons like the roof, though...I have a few screens down and they don't seem to bother other than to dare each other to try to make it in one jump.
In America, we've trained our pigeons to hang out on the steps of government buildings and dive at the bald heads of unpopular officials
I'm always taking pity on the poor creatures, throw cat food to them; unfortunately, the cats are willing to share if it means a bit of bird meat later
