...to help stamp out London's pigeon menace (or something...)



Clicky

Oh god, I read that in the paper this morning! Poor little bugger.

I'd like to see Mr. Pelican try and make a meal of my Quentin, though This is the bird who once faced off with a sparrowhawk in my back garden... and won!

Amatures!.

He's a very strange man.

In 18 months he'll be gone anyway.
James Whale (yep, the offensive late night radio/talk show legend) is going to run for Mayor Of London. He will get in. All hail The Whale.

I like pigeons.

But what I really wanna know is why on earth did Noah bring pigs with him on the ark?

So, you'd rather have a Pigeon Piece than a Bacon Piece in the morning?

Plus, he he didn't bring "Pigs", who would we think Jade Goodie looked like ?

Because after 40 days and nights cooped up with your wife, kids, and in-laws, the wife complaining that, "Ok, Mr. I Talk To God - you got us into this mess, now explain to me what your high-and-mighty god is going to do to get us out of it. Let him try living in a wooden boat for a month with no washing machine, then come talk to me about us being saved. You think these doodie stains are going to come out of my best dress on their own, do you?", what you really want is a fry-up with crispy bacon, sausages, and black pudding

Bloody rats of the air!

s**t all over every town's lovely buildings to bring them to the verge of destruction.

Didn't we have someone around here to deal with that?

pigs and pigeons taste nice, when cooked, obviously apart from pigeon scratchings which are a culinary monstrocity

No, that's Seagulls.

Pigeons are groovy and cool.

car 1 is a 1966 LWB pick up thats currently in for its MOT and has not been used for over a year.
car 2 is a range rover which although it has a V8 3.5L lump, its booked in for an LPG gas conversion which is one of the cleanest fuels for both the enviroment and the cars own engine!
Why 4x4'S? coz they're great toys in the mud and offer significant safety margins when dealing with some of the fcukwits that infest london's roads!
also, last year i had a terrible accident, i rolled my discovery at 80+mph on the M6 near Carlisle, the car was a mess but the wife and i both walked away from the wreakage!

Check red ken's previous attempts to drive a dual carriageway through Oxleas woods and Jack woods on Shooters Hill, SE london. both woods in excess of 8000 years old!
as much as i love driving (and riding motorbikes) i for one would fight tooth and nail to stop this scumbag destroying a piece of ancient woodland in london, god knows, there's little enough greenery around here!

I first read that as rats and pigeons

Pigs and pigeons obviously do

We don't seem to get seagulls around here So as pigeons are a bigger plague, they remain the rats, let's find another qualification for those other buggars

Apparently rats do to in some cultures....obviously. Though I would not try one....I guess...

I was particularly confused by "No, you can't have a St George's day parade, don't be ridiculous, he didn't exist. By the way, here's London taxpayers money for a St Patrick's day one"..Yes Kenneth. The 1980's called, and you're welcome to join us in the here and now anytime you like..

Aye! LPG is a fine stuff, but don´t do like I did and go ONLY on LPG. After starting the engine, it has to warm up on gas before you can use LPG.
LPG burns much hotter than gas does, The engine will warm up in no time at all, but most engine blocks are made of cast iron while the cylinder heads are made of aluminium. These two matereials have different coefficients of expansion, which causes them to grind of the cylinder head seal during the warm up period. The faster that is, the worse the effect gets. I ruined the engine of a Volvo 340 once by not taking care of that. The head was bent banana-style, when I took it off, the car a case for the scrapyard. (By the way, you also have to watch the tappet clearance more closely, the valve seats tend to burn away, especially outlet valve seats. An engine with the hardened valve seats for the use of unleaded gas isn´t that touchy here.) Sadly so, I love the 340 for it´s reliability and nice handling. Like I love the 240 for its massive bumper. Mine killed six other cars which didn´t have brakes as good as my Volvo has..

I once saw a picture of a black Honda CRX with a nice big head and star log in the rear window. It was on a website either from belgium or the netherlands.
Could that possibly have been an older incarnation of the FGG site?

Could it have been a Toyota Corolla? I will post some pics of that one one of these days, as I will take leave from this fine car in a couple of weeks

Bought meself a brand new Corolla Sport Line 1.4

I don´t like front wheel driven cars. I think it is depressing that the Corolla dosesn´t fit into my scheme of FWD=crap.
bleedin´ brilliant cars, them..
