How stupid of me. Going down the tree head first is a giveaway. Unless you’ve mounted it upside down.
badgerx16 Posted April 5 Posted April 5 Random questions; there is a Raptor rescue based near Blackburn, where they look after and display owls, hawks, and eagles. They were visited by a DEFRA official to check on their bird flu precautions. They were a bit puzzled by the question "Do you get much trouble with porcupines ?"
Turkish Posted April 18 Posted April 18 Reruns of top of the pops from the 90s. Women were so much hotter back then. Far less fakery. Even Jo Wiley looks hot presenting it, I forgot she was quite a sort back then

badgerx16 Posted April 26 Posted April 26 (edited) Stories like this; Apparently, having just been elected Pope, Francis rang home to Argentina to tell his family. The phone was answered by one of his nephews, "Who is this ?" the nephew asked, "It's your uncle, you knob-head" came the Pontiff's reply. Edited April 26 by badgerx16 1

I don’t believe in Catholicism but he seems the best in my lifetime and seems to have made an impact on everyone he met. Probably should’ve posted on the religion thread but that seems to be clogged with desperate back and forths with no discussion whatsoever
badgerx16 Posted May 7 Posted May 7 Pope Francis created a large number of new Cardinals during his Papacy, and obviously this is their first Conclave. It has been reported that a number of them have been watching the Ralph Fiennes movie to find out what happens.

Weston Super Saint Posted May 19 Posted May 19 Gary Lineker finally leaving the BBC. Will now finally be safe to tune in to BBC coverage - can't stand the man. 1

Will now finally be safe to tune in to BBC coverage - can't stand the man. Never really got people's dislike for him. Good footballer in his day. Pretty articulate and intelligent (for a former footballer). Seems to stand up for what he feels is morally right. Is clearly well liked by people he works with. Yes, he's well paid and perhaps comes across a little smug at times (I probably would too in his shoes), but on balance I'd say he's definitely one of the top pundits on TV and a shame to lose from MoTD. His 'rat' post was very obviously just a silly mistake which clearly had zero intention of causing offence, and something he immediately retracted and fully (and genuinely) apologised for once he'd realised. Anyway, back to the little things that bring me joy. I slept through the night last night without having to get up and do a wee (until 6am at least). A small win in life these days. 1

Lighthouse Posted May 20 Posted May 20 37 minutes ago, Stripey McStripe Shirt said: Never really got people's dislike for him. For me it was his ignorant, patronising comments following the just stop oil protests at Silverstone a few years ago, when he basically implied he didn't care about putting lives in danger because it was for the greater good. Don't care what his opinions on Israel are.

skintsaint Posted June 7 Posted June 7 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2qxd1e1pyo Not that he has been suspended as I do not watch either show, but using the word 'Mongoloid' to describe the people of Blackpool. I hadn't heard that term in ages, and I'm glad it's still around.
