OT: Costa customers and reading?

Does that mean driving a car or riding a bike totally natural for a human?

You may care to note, Fox poo has pointed ends.

Bags on branches has tailed off here. Possibly many more eyes about. I accept a percentage are deliberately left in a prominent place on the basis that Dogs poo on the outward journey. The owner fully intends to collect on the return but gets distracted or goes home a different way.

Clearing up a fallen Ash yesterday, I was entertained by the number of walkers struggling along a very muddy path wearing trainers! The path is muddy because use has quadrupled and my grazing tenant has fenced the line of the path. Otherwise, this year it would have broadened to 20m or so as users like to think they are entitled to walk on dry ground:-) Stupidly there is a dryish bridleway in parallel which they seem unable to use.

(Oh, that moron troll 'Spike' is still here then?)

Oh, I needn't have picked up (and took home) after ours when walking round Mr Lambs estate then? ;-)

And where the term 'sticks like ... ' came from, along with cat mess (frustrating when it's in your own back garden and you don't own a cat). Mind you, since we have been having daughters terrier now and again there don't seem to be any cats in our back garden. ;-)

Actually it's the anti-social attitude of cat owners who truly believe that they can just push their pets outside to s*it anywhere and then have no responsibility of clearing up the s*it.

(Not sure if this was posted yesterday, but it is not showing on my newsreader)

As a matter of interest, why do you consider that coffee drinkers should be expected to take their waste home but dog owners should not? If they had recycling bins but no dog waste bins, I wonder what the dog owners would do :-)

And if they take their dog turds home, Burt, there?ll be less of it ending up posted through your letterbox. The local kids would have to go back to simply snapping your car aerial off.

I'm sure Scott was asking an honest question but maybe without the wider understanding of the whole situation (as opposed to 'Spike' who is still a d*****ad with no life of his own).

I believe the dog waste bins round here are collected and sent to incineration along with any other non-recyclable waste that can be burnt to generate energy, not sold for recycling like the plastic bottles and can etc.

So, as you say, maybe 'Spike' could take the job of sifting the recyclable waste from the dog poo, because like wrestling a pig ...

Our dog bin loos have a mobile phone number to ring and ask for it to be emptied.

Well, T i m m y - b o y, one should never take lessons of morality from someone who, for the first 65 years of their life, ate meat and squandered other resources, then when his family go on a vegan diet appears forced to do so himself, and then, followed by a spasm of cognitive dissonance and outpouring of virtue-signalling driven by by some Post-Truth Marxism, won't stop telling others how to run their lives. You had your fun, now it's others turn...and you don't like it. Suck it up, sunshine.

Gotten to. Poor Old Burt.

It is unfortunate that there are those in this NG who have picked up the abuse of the uk.radio.amateur nonces and have continued with it, and thereby have become indistinguishable from those same nonces.

You and I have crossed swords on Usenet in the past and no doubt would continue to disagree were those disputed topics raised again, but in this NG you shine as a lighthouse of logic and acuity against those who present themselves as escapees from the kindergarten when they spit feathers.

Kinky.

So it seems.

Yup, Spike / Burk or how ever many other socks the troll hides behind.

Sad eh. ;-(

Cheers, T i m

Gareth's doing all he can to get a bit of Burt, fair play.

I wouldn't have thought so, Gareth; Burt hasn't spoken to you since it became blindingly obvious that you really are every bit as mentally and emotionally unstable as you appear to be.

Just looked it up, Old Bean, and Burt says that he hasn't spoken to you since 2005:

Perhaps he?s buttering him up for a bit of slap and tickle for when he figures out where Burt lives and heads for Torquay?

Is Burt a giver?

Perhaps, but I've got a bit of a suspicion that Burt really isn't terribly keen on Gareth.

Poor Old Gareth.

If that?s the case, it might be a bit awkward when Gareth susses out where Burt lives and turns up on his doorstep. I hope the police recording of the aftermath finds its way online eventually.
