Fox, polar bear & penguin - look, In The Event, Edinburgh Zoo will be filled with people thinking 'easy frozen meals!' & discovering that the cages are there to protect the people from the animals, not quite the other way around.
My money is on the big carnivores clearing off a lot of idiots, and the unlucky animals that do get caught will probably have the last laugh as if you know what penguin liver etc looks like, you are probably overthinking this.
I'm trying to prep for an advance jump on Christmas to discover that the one person we need to have sorted (driver) is teaching all Friday & so not only do I need to prep for a family Christmas meetup with all the emotional damage limitation, presents to sort etc but I now also need to prep to teach.
I really ought to copy my teaching days into my home calendar, just they're erratic &, of course, then unexpected.
That I sent four hours I should have spent sleeping getting the car doublechecked is just one of those things, & now its done I can stop worrying about the car. Apart from swapping in two new wipers & rotating the best onto the back window. (Argh)0 -
Dunno Mar, but if you try one, whatever you do DON'T EAT THE LIVER. It contains very high levels of vitamin A, even the Inuit don't eat it - levels which are very dangerous to us humans. Other than that, I expect the meat would be rank, the meat of carnivores usually is.
Dog liver will also bring you to a nasty end for the same reasons. Many a polar explorer met their fate by munching on their huskies.LBM 11/06/2010: DFD 30/04/2013Total repaid: £10,490.310 -

But you could make the cutest hat out of the pelt! Davy Crockett stylee.
Talk of stocking up is getting me twitchy and I feel some cans coming into my life soonish. The weather here is just typical Nov - bit chilly, bit rainy, mucho cloudy. Meh. At least last weekend was gloriously sunny and relatively warm, I banked 5 hours of solar radiation out on the lottie on Sunday alone. And burned some things, because you have to make ashes while the sun shines.
Ahem. That might not quite be the proverb but you know what I mean.Every increased possession loads us with a new weariness.

Munching on your huskies sounds painful.0 -
Maybe not as bad as not paying attention to road conditions. Whomever is being extracted from the rolled car after misjudging the icy roads may be reckoning that munching a husky seems preferable.
As for the policefolk stood, eyeing the commuter traffic to ensure noone tries anything really bonus points stupid, at least they are dressed for this, layered & then covered in hivis. Makes them look a bit built by Lego, but I presume they are safe & warm.0 -
I've always thought a bulky jacket with hi-viz and dark coloured trousers and perhaps a black fleece beanie would be the perfect Grey Man ensemble.
Seriously. We tend to discount what we see often. Blokes in hi-viz, perhaps with an unlettered big van, would just be assumed to be working for a utility, the highway authority, whoever. And imagine if they were crims, trying to get witnesses to give a description; bloke in a hi-viz jacket, how many people is that, and how easy to doff said jacket and blend in.:rotfl:Every increased possession loads us with a new weariness.

I saw a policeman (brandishing a sub machine gun) outside Windsor castle in this morning's frost in only a short sleeved shirt, and stab vest.
I guess he's 'well 'ard'.0 -

I guess he's 'well 'ard'.He works out at the gym and has his own Instagr@m account. He's hoping to be spotted by a model agent and get made an offer he can't refuse. Or he's on the pull.
Just sayin'....... :rotfl:Every increased possession loads us with a new weariness.
