We need a cull One stat I heard was something along the lines of "enough solar energy hits the earth in a day to power the planet for a year". Quote

Apart from the millions of flying ants currently invading the fylde coast An article on bbc1 shortly about flying ants! I remember sitting by my pond once, watching the ants landing on the surface and the fish rising slowly and gulping them down. Unfortunately the heron turned the tables sometime later. Quote

DazBob Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 Why do the homeless and the traffic light beggars always keep their big coats on when it's roasting? Quote

Just a guess, but I think it would be hard work to pull a wardrobe around behind them, and it would just block the junction as well. Quote
DazBob Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 They could at least tie them around their waists or put them over their shoulders to give them a slight more debonair look. If I was desperate, hungry and thirsty I'd not want the added inconvenience of being fucking roasting too. Quote

I’ll mention it at the next lights I stop at. ”Take your coat off and I’ll give you 50p mate” Wonder what they’d do for a tenner… Quote

Tonge moor green jacket Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 Currently in Nicola land. Hot Sunday, but a pleasant temp around 20 degrees. But the bloody flies- no insect shortage up here. Take the hounds anywhere and there's a cloud of clegs around your head instantly. Quote

There used to be a guy who sat outside the Coop near the printworks with a cup of cash in front of him and he was better turned out than half of the workers getting off the metro at Victoria. Quote

The police have no facility to look after the dog if they arrest the beggar. Quote

Plus, they're probably more likely to get some loose change than if they were on their own. And, maybe I'm a bit naive, their existence must be pretty shit so I'd image having a companion/friend at their side must be good for their mental health. Edited July 14, 2022 by DazBob Quote

Presumably they're having one down south so they've fucked off the weather for the rest of the country like they do when there's a light dusting of snow down there. Quote
