I reckon if Dave Prowse had done those road safety adverts as Darth Vader they would’ve been more effective.Zapping kids with his lightsabre who run across roads without looking would get my attention as a six year old.

Took the boy for what seems like his monthly visit to Specsavers today for repairs.He goes through more glasses than a clumsy waitress.His current pair were being held together with superglue and gaffa tape.My wife said he was starting to look like a young Jack Duckworth.(One for the kids there).

Pretty sure Tufty had a cameo in Life on Mars.

I remember him from the 1970s and Willy Weasel getting knocked down when running across the road for an icecream.

Do you want this site to close down completely @catsnbirds?

Hey @hunnybunny I think the Welsh rugby team need to hastily arrange a friendly game against The Seychelles or Andorra just to get that monkey off their back before the Six Nations starts in Jan. Mind you Andorra might give you a game.

Speaking of red squirrels saw one with incredible road sense last week(forget which day it was,one of those nad freezers).It ran along the grass verge on my side of the road and I prepared to brake in case it made a sudden dart.But no,it stopped on the grass until I’d passed and as I looked at it in my rear view mirror I kid you not it looked…[Read more]

@birdleader  please accept our gratitude for the continued efforts you make to keep this great site running,don’t know where we’d be without it.If you ever decide you’ve had enough we’re stuffed.

ps hope your son’s goal keeping exploits continue apace.

Did Steve mean the hunky guys info?

I didn’t get that memo @desperate-dan obviously not part of the Glitterati but does explain current Nest turbulence.

Say hi to Leggy not heard from her in ages thought she’d gone into hibernation.

Hi @ixan57 no such problems for me but I see the Challenge has been ‘disabled’. Wonder if Nest renovations are underway?Saw yesterday that @birdleader had been awarded the Seasons Greedings 1-16 Feather Badge which I think closed years ago.
