Free sugar

Hi guys,

I've just been watching BBC1 and I've just seen a great way to get free sugar.

Simply look for a sap-sucking moth on the bark of a local tree, creep up behind it in the dead of night, extend your proboscis directly behind its spring-loaded spatula and the discarded sugar is yours to keep!

Top savings! :money:

    Don’t know about this one. Don’t fancy creeping around my local park with my proboscis extended in this weather. It might freeze and snap off.
    GONE ENGLAND

    just be aware, sneaking round parks at night, loitering by trees.... you might get mistaken for partaking in a somewhat different activity... !
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.

    Which is more fun when you're over 8

  • Please Note: Any man extending his proboscis behind anything in a park at night - may be considered illegal.:o

    Let's hope you don't go to the park wearing a dirty mac.
    You might get arrested by mistake!:rotfl:
    Imagine the situation.

    It's true officer! - I was only looking for a "little" bit of sugar!!
