I went over the entire joint TWICE with a hoover (Dyson) today. Nearly killed me..... I haven't exercised that much for years.... I actually broke into a sweat hoovering and thought the exertion / chest pains required immediate attention. Thought it a good idea to visit my Doctor: He said 'I'd like you to lie on the couch' I said 'What for?' He said 'I'd like to hoover the floor, the spiders have been freaking the patients out" erm..... I'll get my coat

Nesting platform with people viewing them? No wonder "nature" is going pear shaped and dying out at a rapid rate of knots.... we need a WW3 to cull the amount of "human" animals that are destroying planet earth (the most destructive animal of all being the so called "human") if things continue on their present course the world's lungs (rain forest) and almost every imaginable "non human" animal will become extinct, it's only a matter of time. In a fair world I should have been put on trial for murder the other night, after killing the spider. I killed it in cold blood and I killed it with intent. I "killed" a fellow creature of the earth but it's fine because it wasn't a "human" animal...... if I had killed a totally worthless, scrounging, waste of space "human" animal I would now be in custody awaiting trial. Humans are self appointed "Kings of the jungle" and anything that can't retaliate with a gun is considered fair game...... taking out an entire elephant population for their tusks was considered fair game when Great Britain owned the world, wiping out Whale colonies was another lucrative "earner", shooting tigers and lions for "sport" was great fun. The British, single handedly, wiped out 90% of "wildlife" and classed it as "sport" Things are not getting any better.... The rainforest is being chopped down at a rate which equates to 1 football pitch per SECOND!!!! That is seriously bad shit. A lot of people just think about the trees BUT what about all the wildlife that live in that vast forest? www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/rainforest/Animals.shtmlWhen it's gone it's gone...... no more trees. Total wipeout of trees and total (MASS) genocide of wildlife. Nobody gives a shit! 50% off at "Oakland" is more interesting to them www.oakfurnitureland.co.uk/The solution is quite simple..... ban new wood from being sold...... same as they did with Ivory (when they realised they had wiped out 90% of the elephant population)...... we don't NEED wood in 2016 (and annoying bastards hammering it into place on a nice day, annoying the fekk out of you...... bang, bang, bang, bang, bang etc.)........ why not build new homes with a different material? It's 2016 after all

By the way....... Nothing more annoying (on the one or two good days of summer you get) than some bastard giving it large with a hammer! Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.......... The bastard doesn't even take a break for a cup of tea...... bang, bang, bang, bang bang...... he goes on all day long! They always seem to come out in the good weather "hammer time!" they are more annoying than wasps. There's a bloke hammering like mad on a roof (100 yards from me) as we speak and if he doesn't stop in the next five minutes I'll ram his hammer up his arse........... We can ALL relate to that scenario

i would have loved to witness the Jungles of the world before the brits killed 90% of the animals (and the Chinese now decking all of the trees)....... mass genocide called "sport" / "Profit".
No wonder we are held in such low esteem by our colonial cousins.

If you can shoot 880 yards there's nothing wrong with you in "that" department mate The best I ever achieved was shooting on the ceiling (and that was WAY back in the day)...... Mike.

The bird isn't the pretty type, but it helps clean up various droppings (mostly food) from the local park, and it deserves an elegant pose for the interested photographer. The butterfly (or moth if applicable) isn't the usual macro, but was taken from about 20 feet away on full 960 mm zoom. While it's not ideally crisp, at least it's fully in focus. Canon SX720, f6.9, 1/200 handheld, ISO 80. Canon SX720, f6.9, 1/200 handheld, ISO 80. We could do with poo eating birds over here

Tell me about it! ooh err, nudge nudge, say no more But when they're running away, in those tight things, umm.... video is best. Being able to catch up with them is best..... it's known as "being fit". Video (with zoom) is OK but nothing beats the old school "do you come here often" (can I sniff your panties) approach......it always pays dividends to act like a gentleman

Sorry to lower the "quality" but here is a photo I took this morning of Henry MKll when he was eating his breakfast..... Have a look at his beak, pretty standard beak, but what is that spike sticking out of his head? I've seen plenty of pheasants but none of them have that spike above their beaks..... it'll certainly come in handy when he's fighting the other male pheasants (and he does a lot of that!)..... he's quite a character, the other day I was in the kitchen and heard this tapping sound...... I turned round and he was up on the window ledge tapping the window with his beak! I nearly shit myself!! he must have heard me in the kitchen and flown up onto the window ledge for a look He has also come into the kitchen a few times....... I'll sometimes leave the door open and the next thing I know Henry is wandering about in the kitchen looking for me! His favourite is sunflower seeds (black sunflower seeds) but he's also partial to peanuts, sweetcorn, oatmeal and fresh garden peas! It's going like a fair out there at the moment.... the regulars are almost bankrupting me, the amount of seed they are going through is astonishing.... they are going through about 10 kilos a week!!!
