I hate

Shooting anything for ‘fun’ is fucking barbaric. Argue all you like, you’re still wrong.

I do love eating pheasant though. Especially with raisins or grapes cooked in desert wine.

Grouse are ok?

Target shooting?

#wontsomebodythinkaboutthepaper

it should go the way of fox hunting and be sabotaged

Shoots are quite often sabotaged when sab groups struggle to find a hunt or manage to get a hunt to pack up early. They're not as consistently targeted though and the police tend to crack down on it more harshly. They don't even have to pretend not to support a shoot because it's completely legal.

But yes, killing things for fun is for cunts.

More some one with issues. Killing to eat is something else.

Ah yes I may have forgotten a crucial word!

It was common to shoot them as pest control when I lived in the countryside as a kid (because otherwise they kill all the ducklings) but I never heard anyone propose eating them.

Seems odd, as the birds should be traceable and the dumping is fly tipping. So is a fineable offense.

Don't pheasant have to be hung for a while, before they are ready to eat.

Ever eaten puffin? As that does not taste great, supposedly like many an oily seabird.

Headlamps that look normal from one angle and absolutely blinding from another.

I thought this but apparently the rural crime unit were contacted and said no offence has been committed, just poor form

People involved in blood sports invariably think they're above the law. Not helped by the fact that they're usually right.

Hunting / blood sports in England is such a feudal setup, it’s almost laughable.

The only people who don’t seem to realise are those in battered Japanese 4x4s doing all the fetching and carrying.

Willing, 21st Century serfs.

The w*nkerTeslas for starters
I switch to full beam on them every time

So you intentionally full beam someone? And this helps you them or another road user, how?

Thanks for this.
I've never previously heard of the quackicidal tendencies of Moorhens.

With a bicycle light
It’s almost impossible to see when they’re approaching, especially the huge version (whatever model), in the dark
The headlights are so bright, to the detriment of every other road user
I don’t think my action is unreasonable - to be able to use the road safely in this way , then drop the lumen after - but I should have qualified the comment to be less sweepingly ignorant
But if this marks me out as a w*nker cyclist, so be it

I do understand. I used to deploy my headstock as a pedestrian stun gun when they were about to step into the road!

Fly tipping is council not police.

Unfortunately. I agree.

Have hit pheasants whilst I was on motorbike. They are incredibly stupid

Had Pickled Puffin in Iceland. A very dark fowl meat, made me think of raw Tuna.

Most Icelandic native food is like that. Just be thankful it was the pickled variety, not the "fermented" stuff. I say "fermented" as, at that point, it's just food that has rotted in the ground for a few months.
