    I think that's how he managed to start his SFP by keeping bullocks

    There certainly was a method in his madness so .

    Have a common visitor to a garden most nights. Martins are supposed to be timid but this one is so cheeky he comes up to about a metre in front of the door to where there is cat food spilled. Can even open the door and he won't scamper off in a hurry!:eek:

    Of course! Reggie I get it off a Donegal man every week :)

    Their heads make the oddest noise when you pull them off.
    Squid that is, I don't go around killing Donegal men.

    Anybody else getting an image of the type of thing a health inspector looking in the freezer of a dodgy eating establishment might see.
    That type of place might want to stuff him too.

    As a small child (long time ago) one year, all the Holly was covered in berries in October. thinking ahead, bagged up a big bunch and left in the freezer for Christmas. the mother was reaching in some time later, and ran a holly spine up under her fingernail. I was very lucky that I was fast at the oul running, when I was younger!

    Some pull with this lad yesterday out of a springer. Legs still a little sore. Mother only took to him there an hour ago when I brought the dog into the pen with me.
