Most likely we’ll enjoy the seaside novelty and stay for a few seasons. Are you expecting Dunfermline to get promoted or relegated? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ2 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Are you expecting Dunfermline to get promoted or relegated?I’m hoping we get promoted after one season in the fun house league. I’d be happy enough if Dunfermline followed us up though. Premiership bridies? Aye! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either/both sides finishing the season without going tits up would be an achievement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Man Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Magpies are vicious little b*****ds during nesting season over here. It's referred to as swooping season as they attack anyone walking in the vicinity of their nests. Kids run out of schools with their bags over their heads and cyclists go about with cable ties sticking from the top of their helmets to scare them off. I was unaware of this and went cycling last year only to hear the swoosh of a magpie and either it's claws or beak on my helmet ( @Jacksgranda there's a tap-in). Could've been a lot worse though, I could have been blinded by one like this little guy last year: https://7news.com.au/lifestyle/health-wellbeing/swooping-magpie-blinds-little-boy-family-pleads-for-awareness-c-436878 -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate told me today that he'd heard from a pest controller that the wee buggers hate mothballs as they can't get the smell of the mothballs off their fur. So all you need is a catapult and a careful aim... Spoiler I always wonder how moths fly with balls that big... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could possibly drill a hole through the bedroom wall into the fireplace and fire in a few bags of stinky balls (woof woof). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy to know that it was actually chicken I'm eating, though KFC is shite 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I count magpies when I see them but saluting and talking to them is oddball behaviour of the first order. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Squirrels and magpies are surprisingly evenly matched. I used to watch them fight each other regularly and it would go on for ages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I lived in Glasgow and worked nightshift the little c***s kept waking me up all day, and from the limited research I did at the time I'm sure it is legal to kill the fuckers in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 There's something called a Larsen trap which is a bit like a lobster pot where a decoy bird is put in a cage and magpies are attracted and get trapped. You can use the same thing for those pesky Celtic fans- put a Swedish striker in a cage and trap them. That is a Henrik Larsen trap. Badumm, tish. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
