As a personal friend of Leslie Walters, I can confirm rumour number 1.

hey, anyone see the pope on the news last night? Bobbing along in his little 'popemobile' and then he's dodging bullets, brilliant! ...(wonder where his 3ft bulletproof plexiglass bubble was) It was all Bill Hicks and JFK and, hey, wait a minute, is theBat still on holiday?? mmmmm

I don't believe in all this pope business. I mean, when the last pope got shot, did they cart him off to Lourde's to be instantly cured?? NOooooooo, it was the best surgeons money could buy wasn't it? And why does he drive around in that little pope buggy thingy when he could just levitate across the crowds waving??

Denzlepop If you read the 'HERO OR PSYCHO?' thread you will read that I have been ousted from the clocktower (temporarily I hope as I left the iron on.

Pity the Abuse a Member thread has been archived. Thought it was going well myself.

Don't be so small minded Dragon. Most travelling families have more morals and standards than the rest of us, and are a very proud and stigmatised part of society. I welcome them.

Sorry to hear Ms Foote has had bad luck with her husband but the lady did her self no favours by saying that a four bed house wud be no where near big enough.Afraid that if you are up the creek without a paddle you take anything u can get.Three beds wud be plenty even if you have to have a bed settee in sitting room.The only time you can choose the size of house is if you have the dosh to buy.Have been in same position so can empathise.

I declare I find myself agreeing with you again Carlito. However you missed out the ""man saves monkey"" and ""man jumps off cliff"". And I look forward to the traditional headlines in Sept of; ""best ever carnival"" (not) ""West Bay traders takings down"" (lie - can only afford 3 weeks in Australia instead of usual 4) ""traffic chaos, Lib Dems call for car parking at Askers Meadow"" (why not walk) ""park and ride a success say Lib Dems"" (thought there was traffic chaos) ""Make Askers Meadow a Nature Reserve call Lib dems"" (thought you wanted car parks) ""Conservative Cllrs do the most for the town, they are just great"" (policy statement of View from Bridport freebee) any more....

Why, when we all put our glass botles out for recycling, does the concil not provide facilities for the bars in town to put all their bottles out for recycling? They just get thrown in the normal bins and put in landfills.

Residents of West Bay Road that are too bone idle to get up in the morning to put their rubbish out, they put it out the night before and whinge when its strewn everywhere the next morning.

so you get up at seven to put out your rubbish astra? i would rather be in the arms of Morpheus.

I agree with mrplanet, although some places are so caring they actually pay extra for their bottles to be recycled by some company (presumably not the council). As for no wheely bins - all the residential complexes etc (and there's more than a few of them around here) have no option but to lump all the rubbish into landfill because THEY say that THEY can't accommodate the things. Aren't the bin lorries rented/hired?

The worst offender for not recycling is West Dorset District Council. If they EVER bring in fines for not recycling properly I will be out with my camera and protesting all over the shop! They would do well to adhere to the old bible quote 'let he who is without sin cast the first stone'but the motto for DCC seems to be more like 'don't do as I do,do as I say!'

What's the point with all this talk about re-cycling. It is just the same old stuff going round and round, which I suppose is the point.

Am I the last to see this - my missus certainly spotted it afore me. Dr Colin Dawes seems to have a good thing going: 7 quid for a fossil hunt and if you don't find one he will give you one !! It's there in black and white. Ooooh Matron !!

Right. I have a mystery. I would ask Dr. Malicious for his advice but this is actually a real problem and not something I made up for a riproaring response from Dr M.
Some arse is snipping small holes into my chicken run.
They've been escaping for a while now, and I couldn't see how! Then I noticed a small hole in the run. It is a large wire fence rather than classic chicken wire, so it only takes about 4 snips to create a hole big enough. I patched this one up...and a week later ANOTHER hole has appeared.
Unless my chickens have plyers for beaks, then something destinctly fishy is afoot.
I wouldn't have thought it's a neighbour, as that would be a very SILLY thing to do. There are no animal welfare people around where I live as they all have those F**K WESTMINSTER bumper stickers...and besides, they have a 8X12 Foot run which is plenty for 4 small hens and a cock.
So what could be the motivation? Who is it? Is there a pattern to them doing it? DO my chickens have wire-cutting beaks??? Shall I phone the guinness book of records?
Thanks in advance for your help...A very mystified Carlito...
P.S. - A dozen eggs to anyone who catches the swine!
