Notice to newcomers - part 5

I have heard of people doing daft things like turning onto railway tracks just because the satnav told them to. Wonder how the RAC managed to rescue him? Did they get their shovels out to widen the path?

Never trust a sat nav..always trust your own eyes and a good map..that way you won't end up driving down really narrow lanes going nowhere:rolleyes:

Just found the following article, which some might find amusing:

I hasten to add - it wasn't me. :rotfl: :rotfl:

Good afternoon everyone. Forecast is for lots of wind and rain later so am considering kitting out the chickens in plastic macs and wellies as they insist on patrolling the garden in the filthiest of weathers and end up looking a total mess.

Afternoon all,
Rog - love the article, some people seem to leave their brains at home when they have a satnav and think it can make all the decisions for them - what an idiot, bet he got some stick from the RAC!!!

Nargle - the idea of chickens in wellies and plastic macs is brilliant. Maybe you could set up a business making them as so many people have free-range chickens nowadays?? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hope everyone is well today - just for once it isn't raining here :j:j:j

Mind you - with the wages that ASDA pay people could be excused for 'leaving their brains at home' :rotfl:

You're right - and it wasn't meant to be a dig at delivery drivers, honest, just at recreational drivers who end up trying to cross rivers and fields to get somewhere !!!!

A blank post from Tixy .... not speaking to us then? Or is it your computer playing silly beggars?

Solventsoon - wellies for chickens would have to be a funny shape for the toe sticking out at the back, and their macs would have to be more like Sherlock Holmes capes......the mind boggles!

Quite a few DFWIDs out there (DFWs in distress), sign of the times I suppose....

:eek: :eek: - Don't let my wife hear you suggest that, NB. It's bad enough that she has dotted umbrellas all over the garden, so that our chicks can 'shelter' from the rain. :rolleyes:
Needless to say, the chickens ignore the umbrellas, with a vengeance, and they (the umbrellas) usually end up by either being blown inside out, or in the neighbours' gardens. :rolleyes2
As for our cats - they can turn 180 degrees in mid air when they see the rain. :rotfl:
