Morning Salty.

Morning Snorbens. Canny game yesterday although I can’t help thinking the outcome may have been different if Man u hadn’t had a lee camp trainee in goals.

Morning Johnna. Enjoy mate. Sounds like a proper dinner that marra.

Morning TVM. Not the result you wanted yesterday. Maybe next time. That’s the beauty of footy, there’s always a next time

Morning marra, you're right.

If the truth be told Slough Town aren't quite ready for the Conference Premier yet, they probably need another year or two at this level. Onwards and upwards.
 
Morning Dilli, spoke to prodigal son :rolleyes:
Not as yet mate. Still waiting on a reply. How about you?
Morning marra, you're right.

That’s the spirit mate.

Morning dilli, you back now?
 
Morning Hank. Morning Comrades. Might watch the mags get pumped. Then again might watch wolfs. Then again might not. So many decisions, so little time. Its been a nice morning so far. Hope it stays that way. Found a badger in a snare this morning. Managed to get it loose but the little bugger kept trying to bite me. It was only a young one thankfully, I’d have had to get some help if it was an adult. Jogged off seemingly none the worse for its experience. Horrible bstards that set these things. It wasn’t even a decent set up.
Ive let the farmer know and he’s going to set up a remote cctv to see if he can catch the buggers at it. My guess is kids as it didn’t look like a proper job. Dogs were as good as gold and just sat there bless them.
I hope you all have a marvellous Monday. Look after yersels, stay sensible.

Morning Your lordship.

Morning Heroes.
Well played Dili.

Morn, arl. In response, I'll hoy this up (again, I think) in praise of an unfairly maligned creature, but before I do, please let me wish ye arl a grand day, worrivva it hads fer ye. Reet, here it is, written by the much underappreciated John Clare (1793 - 1864):

The Badger


The badger grunting on his woodland track
With shaggy hide and sharp nose scrowed with black
Roots in the bushes and the woods, and makes
A great high burrow in the ferns and brakes.
With nose on ground he runs an awkward pace,
And anything will beat him in the race.
The shepherd’s dog will run him to his den
Followed and hooted by the dogs and men.
The woodman when the hunting comes about
Goes round at night to stop the foxes out
And hurrying through the bushes to the chin
Breaks the old holes, and tumbles headlong in.
When midnight comes a host of dogs and men
Go out and track the badger to his den,
And put a sack within the hole, and lie
Till the old grunting badger passes bye.
He comes and hears—they let the strongest loose.
The old fox hears the noise and drops the goose.
The poacher shoots and hurries from the cry,
And the old hare half wounded buzzes bye.
They get a forked stick to bear him down
And clap the dogs and take him to the town,
And bait him all the day with many dogs,
And laugh and shout and fright the scampering hogs.
He runs along and bites at all he meets:
They shout and hollo down the noisy streets.
He turns about to face the loud uproar
And drives the rebels to their very door.
The frequent stone is hurled where e’er they go;
When badgers fight, then every one’s a foe.
The dogs are clapt and urged to join the fray;
The badger turns and drives them all away.
Though scarcely half as big, demure and small,
He fights with dogs for bones and beats them all.
The heavy mastiff, savage in the fray,
Lies down and licks his feet and turns away.
The bulldog knows his match and waxes cold,
The badger grins and never leaves his hold.
He drives the crowd and follows at their heels
And bites them through—the drunkard swears and reels.
The frighted women take the boys away,
The blackguard laughs and hurries on the fray.
He tries to reach the woods, an awkward race,
But sticks and cudgels quickly stop the chase.
He turns again and drives the noisy crowd
And beats the many dogs in noises loud.
He drives away and beats them every one,
And then they loose them all and set them on.
He falls as dead and kicked by boys and men,
Then starts and grins and drives the crowd again;
Till kicked and torn and beaten out he lies
And leaves his hold and cackles, groans, and dies.
Some keep a baited badger tame as hog
And tame him till he follows like the dog.
They urge him on like dogs and show fair play.
He beats and scarcely wounded goes away.
Lapt up as if asleep, he scorns to fly
And seizes any dog that ventures nigh.
Clapt like a dog, he never bites the men
But worries dogs and hurries to his den.
They let him out and turn a harrow down
And there he fights the host of all the town.
He licks the patting hand, and tries to play
And never tries to bite or run away,
And runs away from the noise in hollow trees
Burnt by the boys to get a swarm of bees.

Good morning Cloughy.
Thank you.
Badgers and all forms of wildlife have as much right to be here as we have. They aren’t here for our sport. They are just trying to get on with their lives same as we are. I have previously and will to my final day protect and defend wild creatures whenever they are threatened or persecuted.
