That photo is a shoo-in for Viz's up the arse corner.

Doesnt really matter, but spring is probably good because if youre going to make up a pen yourself as that would be easier in dry weather. Also they tend to lay more in the summer than the cold weather so you'll be maximising your first years egg yield.

can we get back to elton john, and what a c*nt he is? That was far more fun than this.

Agree with that, Pekins are great and very friendly, (we had 5 of them til they croaked,) except if Durley wants them for the eggs they really are a bit too tiny to be of much use? Orpingtons are massive and a similar temperament, and the eggs are a lot more useful. And also agree about the eglu, but its easy to knock up a pen yourself and surround it with paving slabs or dig the wire a foot below ground.

^what johnny said, plus a sack of layers pellets and a sack of mixed corn will cost about a fiver each at woodington feeds. They also do a bale of compressed sawdust for bedding for six quid, that lot will do for about 4 months if you have half a dozen beaks

They are easy to keep, we have a few. The things to bear in mind are that you need a secure foxproof coop for overnight, and they will probably get chicken mites in hot weather. That is a nightmare if you handle them and get the mites on yourself. Its worthwhile tho and simple to do, get simething like warrens or rhode islands for eggs, and orpingtons for the cute factor.

sorry solent, youve set me off on womens ankles now, cant concentrate on much else dune would also probably be able to tell you that the victorians used to cover the legs of grand pianos with fabric in case the sight of them inflamed mens senses. true story

mmmmmmmmmm, ankles........[drools]

research from university of Southampton. No need to worry then;)

I demand a recount

16 year old nipper asks his dad what a vagina looks like. "Well", says the father knowingly, "it has 2 different looks son. Before sex it looks like a beautiful rose with delicate pink folds". What about after sex? asks the kid. "Well" says dad, "have you ever seen a bulldog eating porridge?"

I agree entirely. I was saying that what Turkish suggested in an earlier post, ie that who can tell given the massive changes over recent history as to whats acceptable and whats not whether paedophilia might be considered acceptable in 70 years time, (Im paraphrasing, couldnt be arsed to find it and paste,) is not unreasonable. We are constantly being told about the ever-younger sexualisation of children so who knows what the situation will be 70 years from now? Doesnt make it right, but that doesnt mean it wont happen. I bet if you stepped back to 1930 and told everyone that in 80 years time, not only would homosexuality be legal but that homosexual 'marriage' between two members of the same sex would carry the same legal force as a conventional marriage you would have been laughed out of court or lynched.

how Divine.

It wasnt meant to be relevant to the wider discussion, I was addressing the point Lighthouse made about paedophilia having no prospect of becoming morally acceptable. It obviously was in Pitcairn until the NZ government stepped in.

Tell that to the Pitcairn islanders

They are very likely to get the plss ripped out of them at school, for starters. Then again, having an idiotic christian name would probably have a similar effect..

I dont doubt it...

tbh mate, I just cant be bothered to trawl through it all. This threads like my cooking, overdone and tasteless. Far as I can tell it boils down to "Matty was a great player and a Saints legend, but may have an agenda due to his Pinnacle connection and therefore planted a story in the daily mail", or "Cortese is a ruthless bastard who happens to be the person in charge of our current money supply and isnt overly fond of Pinnacle". I imagine theres a grain of truth in both of those, and if nobodys agreed on it after 10 pages of waffle then they arent likely to.

I bet Turks has flipped over a few ladyboys in his time on those holidays in thailand. No harm in admitting it

10 pages and counting, ffs

+1. Well said.

am I missing something, is this meant to be ironic?
