Blythe will not be learning anything except to use  theirsystems, and I doubt it will an enjoyable experience in such a male oriented enviroment but ...... Someone has to do financial services and I do enjoy helping my clients and something I have done for a long time now.

BTW I don't have a chip on my shoulder about teachers, though I do seem to have had bad experiences with them (the last one excluded in that comment by the way). For what its worth I don't hunt  any more (due to a knee injury) but has been a big part of my life and I will be happy to put forward my experiences and research to letting people understand more, their views are irellivant if they debate it and keep an open mind. I have given talks / debates in 6th form colleges all over Yorkshire and the womens prison just outside York - Askham Bryan I think - I did win the debate and my opponent (if that is the right word) was a prisoner in prison for arson on a butchers shop for animal rights beliefs.

Life is too short to fall out with people, please do pass that on to our mutual friend, we did share some very pleasurable times and it is so silly to not be friends anymore, as long as we are both at a place we can do that, which I certainly am now.

Or maybe you sounded as ridiculous as you do here and now and your 'opponent' just decided to shut up and let you show how pathetic your 'argument' is. If that story is even true.

Vile. Utterly vile.

And I thought this thread was going to be about preventing a fox from digging in the garden

[Old Brock]

I did give information on preventing badgers digging up the garden....

But if it was me, I think I would just let the garden be dug up by badgers, foxes or moles, and enjoy their company. Grow things in pots instead.

[Heretic]

I cannot understand the idea that there might be two sides to this argument. On one side you have the brutal slaughter of animals for sport. On the other...

No. That's it.

[flora poste]

Grow things in pots instead.

They rummage in the pots too! Dug up all my sweet peas. Or that might have been squirrels.

I like foxes - I think they're very pretty animals and I love the amount of wildlife I get in zone 2. I certainly don't want to harm them and I don't mind sharing my space with them at all. But actually, it is my space too, and I don't want them destroying it. I live near heaps of open spaces - Hilly Fields, Blackheath, Greenwich Park etc - so it's not like I'm forcing them out of the final corner of Eden. It's hardly a concrete jungle round my ends, although even if it were the foxes seem to manage very well in that kind of environment.

Anyway, I took the very fine advice offered in this thread, and since putting down netting and letting the fish, blood & bone rot down a bit, I've had very little trouble. I have no plans to get the hunt in.

FP, if you did get the Hunt in they would RUIN your borders.

If I was your ex I would be very p1ssed off that you keep making references to me in your posts!  Have you considered your ex's feelings at all?!

There is an international fox sexing convention going on in my street at the moment. If, after sorting out the garden-trashing problem, you lot could turn your minds to ways I might deter them from their disturbingly shrill nocturnal activities, I'd be very grateful, please and thank you.

ps I love foxes, despite them having eaten two rabbits and one guinea pig of ours over the years. Fox poo stinks, but not as much as fox-hunters' arguments.

I heard a story about a fox that got into the stairwell of the Shard in London when it was being built. And that it just kept going up and up the stairs over a period of weeks, nicking food from the workmen's tuck boxes as it went. Don't know if it survived, was evicted or is still going up and down. Is this an urban myth?

They emptied the building out of people and got animal control to herd her/him into a lift, then released the Shard Fox into the wilderness...and by 'wilderness' i mean South Bermondsey...

[MzB]

^ So pleased it was true. And that the fox went back into the 'wild'.

[Blythe]

Are we sure it was a fox and not George Galloway pretending to be one?
