What other bird would cause this kind of damage? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/hereford/worcs/7523909.stm | ||

It is still within the bounds of possibility that these birds were trained by chavs to do this. They have a lot of time on their hands. The bird man of alcatraz, anybody? Hello? He trained a stork to put his socks on for him. | ||

I blame hippies. Give nature some respect and look how she repays you. No wonder none of them want cars - all that stuff about saving the environment is a smokescreen. It's to save on expensive re-spray jobs. | ||

Hippies would be my next to blame. Who knows what their LSD urine has done to our water supplies. I bet these finches had just been having a drink of water and thought they saw a giant worm. In fact it was a car. An LSD fart can give a full grown man an embolism, if he gets it in his face and inhales fully. Yet people want to blame NAZIS and Bush for these things? I blame Jesus. | ||

Actually, it's Roy Jenkins' fault. Everything's his fault. | ||

I'm greatly relieved to find this thread doesn't concern an editor-author dispute.  | ||

You have to laugh: "The large supermarket chain ASDA has attempted to trademark the word "chav" for a new line of confectionery. A spokeswoman said: “With slogans from characters in shows such as Little Britain and the Catherine Tate Show providing us with more and more contemporary slang, our Whatever sweets — now nicknamed chav hearts — have become very popular with kids and grown-ups alike. We thought we needed to give them some respect and have decided to trademark our sweets." | ||

Just so you know: the term "chav" has absolutely, 100% not crossed over to the States. Me, I'm still more or less unclear what the hell it is you're talking about, every time I hear the term.... | ||

A chav has no job, no real purpose in life, takes delight in promising to destroy communties, and lies a lot: I guess the equivalent in the States is Hilary Clinton. | ||

Sorry, that joke was rubbish. | ||

Actually, that was pretty funny. Wait a minute... you've just described the Sasquatch! | ||

And, as everyone who lives in remote rural areas of North America knows, Sasquatch does, indeed exist. Saw the title of this thread, and thought I should take a look, as it seemed you might be being rude about my mate Finchey. Did I tell you that Paul's new collection GHOST REALM is at print, and will be available late August? Watch for a further announcement. Christopher | ||

Nobody, but nobody, is rude about Finchy. Not in a derogatory sense anyway.  Paul wrote the scariest episode I've seen (and, I'd be willing to bet, the scariest ever) of the usually mild-mannered police series THE BILL. It's hard to pin down what makes him such a powerful writer – a mix of considered scene-setting, perceptive characterisation, confident use of supernatural themes and sheer breathtaking anger. You're never in any doubt that he means it. | ||

sheer breathtaking anger. You're never in any doubt that he means it. =============== You're never in any doubt the text means it. | ||

Supernaturalism in THE BILL? Was that why Tosh's helmet was floating around the station that time? |
