Then it may be beneficial for you to articulate your point better.
Highlighting the word sweatbox quoted from a female poster, then putting nothing but a smiley face in your post comes across as nothing short of juvenile.
If I took you up wrong then I apologies, but it came across as crass.0 -

Ah source will you stop, you read into that WAY too much! I was laughing at the way she referred to the bus she was on as a sweatbox!
But yes, I can see how you might have seen it now, truly that's not the way it was intended, nor anything like it, but I take your point and certainly I'll keep it in mind for future reference!

From the Shannon Bridge to the Coonagh roundabout I passed 5 and there was 1 dead on the road.I drive daily on the Condell Road and I have seen quite a lot of them recently, but I don't know if they were always the same 2-3 or if there's an ongoing invasion :-)
I also often run there early morning, and I once passed one which didn't seem too afraid. It just stayed there watching me. I assumed I was safe and these things won't attack people?
Saw another two of the little things last night. One hiding behind a tree around the corner from Salesians, the other in an awful condition in the cycle lane a hundred yards further out the road.
My own theory is that they've started to move towards the Condell Road since the tunnel and the roads around it were built up.
Also, any opportunity to plug my poems! This one seems relevant.0 -

What you are seeing is this year's kits. The ones born later in the season will be a bit gangly legged to look at and skinnier in build to an adult fox. In a few months those that survive will be adult sized.
Fox mortality in that side of town has become very high since all the changes came in with the roads/tunnel etc and as a result the litter sizes of the foxes have increased to cope with the higher mortality rate. Foxes will, within a breeding season or two, go from regular sized litters to much larger litters to combat the effect of areas that see more kits die from outside factors like predators, vehicles etc.
Nice poem btw, I like the stanza lay out as it created a nice flow. The lack of a finishing couplet worked also.0 -
