Ah, Oscar the ferret. A few years ago one of the P.W breathren had a fert called Oscar, who it was discovered had a kind of pulling power over crows. By exercising Oscar in the open, while keeping an eye on him from the hedgerow, it was possible to draw the corvids who didn't much go on the idea of sharing their patch with him. Of course, if Oz was being guarded by a 12g the crows could be dispatched. He became something of a hero (at least in my eyes) and was often mentioned in posts that had little or no relevance to the noble sport of ferreting. Surely somebody else remembers him, and hopefully someone will come back and tell me Oscar is still amongst us.

Can't remember my original number, I had to change my user name from MAJ when my computer melted down. I can remember Oscar the ferret.

When you consider John Stonehouse was given seven years for TAX EVASION.

At one point the guy was seen to hang up what appeared to be a cotton wool ball on a stick. I would assume that was some kind of an attraction to the foxes, but how does it work?

Like it says in the title, Thame, Oxon.

Local farmer just asked me if I know anybody who would help him out with his bunnies. Ferreting only, no guns as there are shared boundaries. P.M me your details and I'll pass them on.

But I bet you can't eat a fruit pastille without chewing.

Looking at it, I would say it has definitely been hand finished.

Perusing Fleabay yesterday, as one does, I caught the end of a lot which knocked me sideways. Four (4) Magpie tail feathers - £24 plus. Out with the Larsen.

Don't tell me, I bet her old man had two jags, one SP 1 T, and the other SWA 110 W.

Poor lamb. Broken nose, teeth loosened, bruises, all in a matter of seconds. Luckily the wardens stepped in and saved him from further harm.

Outside the Abbey Road studios I saw MU51CAL. No idea who it was.

Many years ago a coach load from my local went to France for a weekend booze cruise. On arrival at Dover, we all had to disembark (in those days they actually checked your passports). One of the women in the party said in a really loud voice "What happens to the coach now? Does it drive round to meet us the other side"? Her old man never lived it down.
