    I have pheasants. They are safe though, as I can't be !!!!!d to pluck them.

    When I was a student, a pheasant dropped out of the sky and fell on the Principal's lawn while I was riding home from a lecture. They were holding a shoot on the land next door. My mate lept off the back of the motorbike, seized the pheasant and we rode off.

    The bird hung in my wardrobe for a good few days, but eventually I got down to plucking it, and discovered....well, not that much really. It just wasn't a meal for four blokes. A real let down after filling my room with feathers! In the end, I chopped it up and made pheasant stew. :(

    It was OK, but nothing to rave about. Since then, I've always driven around the silly birds.

    I'll eat it, IMO, stew is the best use for it, but like you.....I think its ok, nothing to get over excited about...unless its free!

    We get pheasants nesting here though, that I love. We also had a cochin who fell in love with a pheasant !!!!.

    It is Friday evening. :)
    I don't have to set an alarm for tomorrow morning. :)
    I don't have to make lunchboxes tonight or set out children's uniforms for tomorrow. :)
    Tomorrow morning I will not have to drag any kids out of bed or try to get them to school on time. :j
    There is no chocolate in the house (other than cocoa powder in a tin). :(
    My kids have just made chocolate buns and they are due to come out of the oven in 10 minutes. :T

    Have a great weekend everyone, and sympathies to anyone with the kind of job that means they'll be working this weekend.

    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    It's Friday night, it's 5 past nine, and it's Crackerj... oh no, bit late.

    Do any of you know what I'm talking about, or am I just showing my age? :p

    No choccie here either :( - and 3 children still roaming freely, whilst OH attempts strumming on his Xmas-pressie ukelele. Quite a nice noise actually (since he tuned it :).)
