There was a racing pigeon wandering around my road this morning. I tried to catch it but then remembered these are living things and very precious to their owners (Mike Tyson is a big bird fancier) so tried to take a photo of ring around its ankle. Photo didn't come out and the ird ran away and I dislike handling live birds so the neighbours just saw me chase a pigeon around and take a photo of it so thank God we are leaving.

Can be expensive too if they're from proven stock.

My granddad was a pigeon fancier, well known in racing circles, and invented a method (something to do with wing joint distance or the like) that basically predicts a birds ability to fly long distance. Pigeon fanciers still use it as part of their selection criteria. #randomfacts

I was hoping to play them on my BBC ‘B’ ..... oh, I had to give that back to the office.

I love the way I can ask these questions and get them answered.

Warhead · Noob as of 6/8/10

Lemme see if that works for me.

What laptop should I buy?

Yeserday, realising I am merely borrowing the world, I became carbon neutral and I made a solar oven to cook a sausage. What did you do, you monsters?

Trooper · **Joined:** 4th Mar, 2010 **Posts:** 22270

It's still cooking I assume.

Warhead · Noob as of 6/8/10

It looks a bit underdone.

On Friday night I took a reusable shopping bag to the chippy, so they wouldn’t have to give me a plastic one that would have gone straight in the bin.

You know you live in a small town when someone you don't even know asks you if you've settled in yet, and then adds "because you live next door to [person]" (who you also don't actually know).

What has [person] been saying about me/us....

Is a suit of armour for the porch in the new place tacky?

Only if freshly painted.

Definitely not.

House warming party? As you're "only around the corner" I can come.

markg · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 16560

Definitely a classy touch, it would complement the Rover perfectly.

Is it pink? Are there LEDs? Is it wired up with simple mechanisms to greet visitors and take their hats?

Does it have a massive codpiece? Then you can waggishly introduce it as your "suit d'amour" to your guests.

Trooper · **Joined:** 4th Mar, 2010 **Posts:** 22270

Depends what it is made to fit. If it's a suit of armour for a horse, it might be tricky to get in the house,

As a kid, I only ever took home the multi-coloured rubbers from National Trust properties.

Potentially NSFW

Like this?

Kern · **Posted:** Thu Jul 05, 2018 15:32

No.
There's always a silhouette of the house or an oak leaf too.

I'm never buying a National Trust rubber again! #boycott.

Yes one street away

How likely are you to bump into a friend at a music festival?

Stupid Question. Surely it depends on whether you're standing next to them and how much pressure there is from the surrounding crowd.

I went to see Beyonce the other week with the GF and I literally saw three people I know there, no prior arrangement to meet or anything it was weird.

GazChap · **Posted:** Fri Jul 06, 2018 14:29

I randomly bumped into Kern in the middle of London once.
