NJ2 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I used to have a larson trap for magpies. There was no saluting done, just good old fashioned neck breaking before dumping their remains in the compost. Fully expected this post to be fromslippery p. Make of that what you will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magpies will take 15 songbird chicks/eggs a day. They tend to come in pairs and can soon overwhelm the songbird population, especially in rural locations.

Got my renewal through from my existing company which was £60 more than last year. Did a search online and got a much cheaper quote elsewhere. Called up to cancel with existing mob and they immediately said they would match the new quote i got. I said no as they should have offered me it in the first place rather than try to shaft me. Huffy conversation continues wher they say I never gave them any proof of no claims when I joined. This was pish. Found the email i sent them with it in 2016 and forwarded it on. Onto new company and go through the procedure to sign up online, but when I put in my payment details it comes up saying I need to call. I've committed the cardinal sin of refusing their legal cover, so what should have taken 5 minutes online now takes 25 minutes on the phone as I repeatedly decline the extra legal cover they are desperate to punt me. Had this issue many times over the years with my insurer and brought it to a head last summer. I told them in advance that if I found a cheaper quote after receiving their offer I wouldn't be giving them the chance to match/beat it as they should be giving me their best offer straight off the bat. When I then checked I found their offer was the most comptetive and they kept my business. They are clearly relying on people being too lazy/uninformed to look into whether they are being ripped off, similar thing happening also with gas/electric suppliers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better start punching f**k out lions as well then, heard a lot of rumours they kill other animals...I’ve no idea about the songbird population etc. you were maybe carrying out noble work.

throbber Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 That would last you about 3 years IMO. Mind you, you would probably be dead by then. I would die the way I lived, in a bath of beer and my own urine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Our (multi-state) lottery was up to $670 million this weekend, which translates to roughly 495,873,700 Scottish Pounds. I didn't win, despite buying a ticket. Which is too bad because I could live on that for quite a long time. Even longer if Mrs. Shotgun didn't find out where I was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no lions in Cheshire because they are scared of magpies, have you ever seen a lion go near a magpie ? Kill all the magpies and they will be an issue.

NJ2 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Sausage is extra, it doesn't replace steak. Unless it’s supermarket shite. Steak pie, of course, should be bought from a reputable butcher. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 How much would she have to spend to stop looking like a po-faced cúnt? Quote Opening up on her daily routine, the former popstar confessed she splashes out a whopping £648 on skincare products, £366 on makeup, £124 on body lotions and £66 on her hair. That’s a £1,204 a day if you tot it up.

invergowrie arab Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 My missus cooks tinned soup by putting it in a pot and standing at cooker stirring it like some episode of the Flintstones. This also means there is a pot and wooden spoon to wash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
