Remember OT mad old woman syndrome and bird flu

Probably not feral urban pigeons. Round here, they (and rats, mangy foxes, etc..) mostly feed on fast food discarded by chavs.

[The Natural Philosopher]

Well then they are performing a valuable recycling exercise.

Are you comparing humanity to a disease?

[Bob Eager]

It'd be better if they fed on the chavs....! :-)

[Aidan]

Turn chavs into s**te? Yes, that would be an improvement.

Would it be possible to breed transgenic killer pigeons that would attack on sight of Burberry?

I'm hoping the 'flu pandemic (when it comes) will do that.

An elephant, a lion and a chicken were walking through the jungle discussing who was the hardest animal, the elephant said ' I only have to trumpet and everybody begins to shake', the lion said 'I only have to roar and people run away', the chicken said ' I only have to sneeze and everyone s***s themselves' !

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember marble saying something like:

Best way of looking at 'em.

Planet of my dreams, my arse.

When I kept bees I tried to explain to neighbours that I was far more likely to be stung than they were. They knew better of course.

Now that I have a couple of bantams (no bees) who I handle daily I try to explain that if they become infected I'm far more likely to be infected than the neighbours - assuming a bird-human transmittable form. They know better. of course.

Oh PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!
