Cyclists waste petrol

You'll find no rust on the 12 year old Getzs you find there too.

[Rod Speed]

It doesn't, it works on their noses and legs.

That's more polite than 'Fuck you and your GDPR, Eurotrash!'

Doesn't work a damn with elk... They just plow through and drag about 50 yards of fence wire with them. Not much will stop an elk that smells a field of nice fresh alfalfa.

[rbowman]

That's what I said...

[rbowman]

There is that...

It was a decent movie although there were some strange juxtapositions. One guy spent a lot of time on his cell phone whining to his mother about how badly a sheep camp sucked.

The city had a brainstorm to have a sound, ecological approach to weed control on one of the mountains bordering the city so they had a local graze his sheep on it. Very scenic, old fashioned sheep wagon and all, and you could see the woolies cavorting from downtown. Unfortunately, the sheep everything except the leafy spurge, the invasive species the were supposed to eat. They were corralled at night to protect them from the town dogs looking for a snack and reduced that area to mineral soil.

After the photos were taken and the sheep went home, they hosed the area down with Tordon. Mission accomplished.

It wasn't exactly 'The Sundowners'.

No, you can turn cattle out in the forest in the spring and expect to find most of them in the fall, minus the few that walk off cliffs etc. Try that with sheep and the first thing they will do is find something poisonous to eat. Then the survivors will find a fence line to pile up against and smother half of them. The remnant will then try to drown themselves in a creek. The hardy few survivors will get eaten by the bears, wolves, mountain lions, and coyotes.

We do have wild bighorn sheep that can fend for themselves but centuries of breeding have dumbed down the domestic version.

Besides, sheep are an excuse for blue heelers.

I seldom bother with it but occasionally I'll get a bill with the stamp on it and record it on the website.

Stores give smaller notes back in change, and larger ones in cashback fo= r debit cards, so a lot of notes go back to a customer.

Anyway, I've never had a used note from a bank. Of course that may be b= ecause I usually use a cash machine, and perhaps they always give those = new notes to prevent jamming.

[Jimmy Wilkinson Knife]

They've always been as bad.

[Jimmy Wilkinson Knife]

Maybe they should let the stupid sheep all die off, then the next generation will be more sensible.

All the GDPR seems to have done for me is cause 150 companies I've used over the past decade or so to email me asking permission to keep emailing me, which they weren't before GDPR. It annoyed me so much I added "GDPR" to my killfile, now anyone mentioning it in an email won't reach me.

[Jimmy Wilkinson Knife]

Are they as scared of them as my neighbour's dog?

[Jimmy Wilkinson Knife]

Don't Clydesdales have noses?

[Jimmy Wilkinson Knife]

The only slang term in use for a denomination is "quid".

I have rust on my 16 year old Renault. Although to be fair it's not significant. Why did it take them until now to work out how to stop steel rusting? Cars used to rust after 5 years.

[Rod Speed]

But not enough do to ensure that the bank never sees the battered notes.
