Old Frightful

Bloody awful news, he seemed like a top geezer and so passionate about RL. Reading the thread from Craig's link over on AOB's obituary thread filled me with emotion. People with a terminal illness can show such amazing courage, especially Simon considering he was only 46 and had a 4 year old daughter. Heartbreaking. RIP fella.

Like snapski you mean?

Am I the only one who visualised an episode of Top Cat from the aforementioned characters?

Dome

That must be me then.

Isn't nature wonderful, with their impressive camouflage, I can only see two...

Time to redress the balance, if only slightly...

Do you know for sure the pigeon was the victim of the cat? I only ask this as it may have been the prey of a sparrowhawk. I doubt a pigeon would survive a cat attack but I have seen pigeons survive sparrowhawk attacks when the bird of prey was spooked by a homeowner. And I'm not sure but I would say sparrowhawks spread more of it's victims feathers about than a moggie might. In my garden today I noticed a female goldfinch flying with the local sparrow gang, is this summat that smaller birds do occasonally? Is it mainly safety in numbers or are sparrows cooler to hang around with?

With respect. I doubt that very much. Kelly is an outstanding talent, not too many like him around.

Searched for the previous Kelly topic but couldn't find it. Anyhoos... https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/albert-kelly-leaving-hull-fc-4215536?fbclid=IwAR0zBBHRQC_d8x3SJ3z4PPw8kZ_2yPl2VbYN_Yn2btfDBb5kw9-Xp_-TkF8 Massive boots to fill.

Ooof! A thread suggesting Wigan might have been a ref's favourites...I doubt we have enough time left of lockdown for this thread. This ain't gonna end well.

Bang on the money as usual mate.

For all Luke fans on here, I'm pleased to update that all is well and I spotted him again yesterday.

I can collect and post it for you as it's a local auction house to me and I don't know if their charges are a bit on the pricey side. You could always ask.
