    Aestivation is the correct term for dormancy in summer and/or hot weather

    Not a lot of people know that either, but I know a little bit about a lot of things: dangerous :yes:

    Ronnie was rocketing today. Will the Welsh Open be held in Troon? :wacko:

    Pure coincidence but a Chris Packham programme today was all about bears. Said that Polar Bears actually hibernate in the summer but remain alert and mobile so they can still catch food if they come across it ( bit like me, really).But he also said that Giant Pandas don’t eat meat at all, which is wrong, because their keeper at Edinburgh said if a bird gets into their pen they will eat it. Quiz night on BBC tonight: the highlight of our week.

    Packham upsets a lot of the hunting fraternity. Set the hounds on him!

    Can’t stand Chris Packham myself get the impression that he believes in depopulation.

    The best things in life are free.
    But you can give them to the birds and bees.

    We met him when he gave a talk at Mikes son’s school a few years ago. I do like him in many ways and really admire him for the way he deals with his Asperger’s and I enjoy the programmes he makes. But he is far too extreme (imo) in many of his ideas. For one thing, we are very much in favour of HS2 (we’re a railway family) and, much as I don’t really like the idea of hunting and certainly wouldn’t do it myself a lot of areas where they raise birds for shooting are wildlife havens, so there are always opposing views.

    I quite like Packham too despite his enviromentalist tendencies.

    Woman..

    “Which cat ?”

    Both laugh at the thought.

    Man..

    “Not a witch’s cat !”

    Louder laughter..

    BB News

    A man armed with an “offensive weapon” has been arrested in the grounds of Windsor Castle on Christmas Day.

    Our reporters are always first on the scene – the offensive weapon was none other than a large microphone to pick up staff reaction to the large fish tank being secretly removed through the back door of the castle.

    Our trusted, resolute, but small band of dedicated BB reporters are prepared to put their thin extendable necks on the line daily; they will travel through ravaged war zones, resist raging rivers full of babbling eco warriors, and even expose themselves to disease and pestilence from war torn Sudan to the filled in bunkers in Kazakhstan in their undaunted search to bring you, Joe Public, facts and opinions from around the globe and put them bang on your kitchen table next to the salt cellar every day, every year, in every which way.

    Reptilian retaliation and death threats are the trifles and order of the day. We have our secret microphones placed in some your homes and private places to bring you ordinary conversations of an unusual and revealing kind.

    A box in bankbrokeciti the morning after the night before.

    Pretendy woman clearing the table….

    ” Oh we forgot to take a picture of the table ”

    Man in reply

    ” I don’t think the table will particularly mind “

    While one of our reporters is battling with the mental health acts we have the remnants of a juicy little story hot off the press.

    It was to the west of bankbrokeciti in one of the popular boroughs for people who cannot afford the smoke that we reported this cat tale two weeks prior.

    A man heard a commotion outside his front door in the earlies. He opened the door unwisely and was almost set upon by two ferocious dogs, the foaming mouths and size of which he had never seen before, and which could have bounded easily into the set of the Omen.

    Gregory Peck – ‘I am not working with those two !’

    Director… “Who let the beasts out ? I wanted Gregory to have a drink first !”

    Anyway the man was literally barricaded in his house and legged it upstairs for safety’s sake, but as he peered down from a high window there was gloom and fog about and he saw next to nowt.
    After a fitful night it was the morning sun that presented to him the full horror of what had gone on that terrible night, as he opened the door to see his Tibby’s body parts spread out in disordered fashion in a four metre square area of the bloodied lawn. He tearfully picked up the small cat’s guts and put them back inside him, and placed him as respectfully as possible, in a green plastic garden bag.
    The two dogs had gone on the rampage to further terrorise ordinary Joes who were going about there business then scarpered.

    BB reporters can now, and before all other news channels have even a sniff of this snuff story, bring early news of the happy end of this grisly tale of outer borough woe.

    Tibby is joyfully back, reunited with his master, to enjoy Xmas happily together, and him sat in pride of place, right next to the crouching menace, in a beautifully handcrafted glass box.
