what about tinned tuna ... brine or whatever else it comes with ... surely everyone just opens and drains all that shite out by pushing the opened lid down anyway .... dont they ?

Of course.

BTW, Have you ever accidentally had it in oil instead of brine (I can't believe anyone ever buys it on purpose) Yuk Yuk YUK!!

Good quality tuna in good olive oil is heavenly mmmmm

Weirdo!

Here's something for those many folk on her that know much more about birds (feathered) than I do.

I went up to Wollaton park to hit some golf balls on the practice ground today and saw something which I have never seen in nearly twenty years in that location. I saw a heron flying across the practice ground persued and then picked on by at first one crow and then two, and then a couple more. They seemed to have forced it to ground and I was about to go over the 200 yards or so to investigate when the crows seemed to have lost interest so I resumed hitting golf balls.

So are herons and crows territorial ? That area does sort of "belong" to the crows as sometimes they get mischievious and start to steal golf balls there, but although there is a lake on the far side of the course I've never ever seen a heron in Wollaton park.

Q: Why did the crows attack a buzzard?



A: This behaviour is known as mobbing. It is a defence response to a perceived threat from a predatory bird.

Crows have few predators in the UK but are aggressive birds that are fiercely territorial. The buzzard is seen as a potential threat to the crow, its young and territory and they can often be seen interacting in this way.

Mobbing usually involves more than one bird in pursuit and the targets are usually birds of prey, buzzards in particular but also owls. Even herons can be on the receiving end of hostile attention.

Is the heron a member of the buzzard family then ?

Laxie - bring a tin of Red, & a tin of Pink, to bB6 - we'll give Red the Red Test.

Oh, & put misleading labels on the tins - that curve-ball trick gets through quite often.......

No. (See final sentence)

".....I thought Blacking Brush was going to have a fit. He made a noise like a klaxon, and his bowler hat actually flew several inches into the air. He had to grab it by the brim and pull it back down....."

Why does that remind me of the drumnmer in one of the early Gorillaz Videos? (That's a sort of cartoon pop-group, Tom.....)

Tom, you are back to your Peggy Shitter Story-Writing best - the detail in that Grinding Story is amongst the best you've ever wroted. Writed-ed. Writted. Even "stub of a pencil" evokes the imagination, the picture in the mind.

Lovely, lovely, writing. It must have taken hours of honing.

How will that work? I'll just say I can't tell the difference. Do keep up.

Bugger. I've had a seriously numpty day......I did something really like really, stupid today.

You mean you would lie? I am disappointed in you Tom Mcready. An important scientific test and you would influence the results by lying? Have you ever thought about politics?

[tikay]

Is the heron a member of the buzzard family then ?

I've only ever seen a few Herons close up, "in the flesh". Always near water, on golf courses, & once at Tom's place.

Driving down the M1 today (for the third time today, sigh....) a heron crossed the M1 - flying very low. I thought they'd keep away from such areas.

Yes, yes, got him! Good spot Trace. That was my thinking, too.

Was it carrying a sign saying 'Don't forget your laptop numpty?'
