I suspect there is going to come a time where I absolutely don’t tell people exactly how to get away with poaching game birds without using a shotgun.

I've read that all the people in power are gonna profit a ton from no deal brexit but I genuinely was naive enough to think they wouldn't want their legacy to be the anhilation of the UK.

The Tories have morphed into this half-Maoist sect. They're all good with the tearing down of existing institutions half of Maoism but not the other half that involves building up new stuff in their place. It's all very odd. This thread isn't really the place to discuss it but there's something profoundly malfunctioning in our society and I don't quite know what it is.

Lol grandad always said that would never work because they would cause the birds to bloat up and because they can’t fart or burp they would explode.

It involves seeds, good timing, two cars and corrugated iron,

Kids are usually pretty sound asleep at that time but yeah it would be nice to have better sound insulation between rooms. Certainly something I won't skimp on in the new place.

Roald Dahl lied to me! But I can still get away with murdering someone with a frozen leg of lamb and then roasting it and serving it to the coppers, right?

i do not think they will particularly care as they retire on the proceeds to their tax haven island surrounded by aa guns to shoot any poors that try to get near

There's a few things in Champion of the World that are exaggerated but one that isn't is that pheasants loving love raisins. If you had the patience to cut up a bunch of raisins and put tranquillisers in them I reckon it would work if you somehow knew what dose they needed. Much easier to just soak the raisins in booze and let them go at those until they're too pissed to fly. Never seen one explode.

You can also ferment grapes, pour your bucket and then scatter seeds over the area you have primed, you want to train them to stay where they are eating rather than pick up and fly off into an area where you would be trespassing.

(Edit: my grandad was literally a poacher though “it was a different time”)

They're way on brand them because neither was actual Maoism!

I'm pretty sure Cummings, Bannon and friends are just mainlining the Littlefinger chaos speech at this point.

Presumably the malfunctioning part is that all the conniving, competent talent flees the country to shadowy international asset management and only dregs remain in politics.

I found a sick pigeon in the road recently but also wasn’t brave enough to try killing it. Took it to the local vets so they could do it, at least they should know the technique.

that's the optimistic view. Others are saying to just batter yourself to death with the soup tins because if all we've got is soup that's all well ever have and who wants to eat soup? You're already dead

Driver gets the full tip after he delivers your order. Though you can now tip after the delivery which is worth doing instead so you don't have to risk tipping some dude who just steals your food.

I think you might be able to 'tip the restaurant' too but that's dumb lol

talking of deliveries I'm going to get running again. Im the fattest and probably oldest Ive ever been. Tie to turn the tide, its just going to be really awkward if theres an apocalypse and i'm really fat. If youre already thin at least its less of a n abrupt change.
