[qbman1]

We still talking about bodies ?

[towny44]

Overcast and drizzling here, time for a compo claim methinks.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Sun in the south northlands

[qbman1]

Bloody hot for the Chosen Ones. Well into the twenties already and there are still loads of strange people wandering about outside in overcoats - not oldies either. Does no one watch the weather forecast these days ?

[Stephen]

Probably terrorists

[qbman1]

Japanese language students, mostly

[Manoverboard]

They should have a ' Weather ' App .... just saying

[qbman1]

We see a lot of Japanese around here and, almost without exception, they have the most peculiar dress "sense" - it's like a constant fancy dress party !

[Mervyn and Trish]

That's the students at end of term

[Stephen]

Probably celebrating the year of the rabbit

[towny44]

It's the Rooster this year, I bet Cubie doesn't shoo them away, at least not until they have laid.

[qbman1]

Point of order - aren't roosters male ?!

[Stephen]

Might be a tranny

[qbman1]

How do you tell ?

How come my edit has been deleted, I changed it after reading it back last night and realising Stephen or Cubie would pounce on it, and I got the update, so which Modplod changed it back?

[qbman1]

Probably received a complaint from the Rooster Appreciation Society

[Mervyn and Trish]

Or the Cock Rooster Appreciation Party

[qbman1]

Not sure whether we spotted a rat or a particularly fat mouse at the allotment last night

[Mervyn and Trish]

Probably a fat mouse if it's been nibbling your veg

[qbman1]

Everything's getting fat except me !

[Stephen]

Or the Cock Rooster Appreciation Party

or Rooster Cockburn.......nasty

Sounds like a right busy old Rooster.

Merv as our resident BBC expert can you advise me why they continue to swap around sports coverage on both Beeb 1 and 2.
In the old days when we had both analogue and digital tv's, or even earlier when initially only beeb 2 had 625 lines, there was a genuine reason, but now when everyone can access freeview it all seems a bit pointless.

Nearly cabbage-planting time

I have no idea since I left before digital TV was the norm. In fact almost before TV was invented. But for once I share your view Towny. It's nonsense. The original reason was actually that at one time national coverage of BBC1 was greater than BBC2. But now that is not so it makes no sense at all.
