Yes... tomorrow is the start of the start of the grouse shooting season.

I am not green welly brigade as the nearest I've come to grouse is having a springer spaniel as a pet. :o

Some football fans may call today the glorious 11th, not so sure about that anyway.Football in England represents exactly what life is like there in that unless you are fluent in Hungarian , Polish, Croatian , Romanian or Slovakian, you will feel left out.

How many footballers in the EPL can speak English.

By way of celebrating, or keeping in touch with our English roots, my wife and I bought four Balinese ducks today.

They should enjoy our fish ponds, so log as they don't squabble with the chickens, and don't eat the fish.

I doubt they'll leave the fish alone, although I believe ducks are divided into vegetarian ducks and omnivorous ducks. We had some Khaki Campbells once to keep the snails down. The big white ducks, the Muscovies, are vegetarian and subsequently better eating themselves. Ducks, unlike turkeys, usually get along with chickens.

I hope you've take notes, you'll be tested on this tomorrow.

On a pedantic note, the title of this thread is a mite confused. Oscar Wilde's epithet was aimed at foxhunters, whose season starts much later, and I don't think grouse have ever been described as uneatable. But the mention of Grouse stirs in me a strong desire for a nip of the Famous which I will have to indulge a bit later on.

I suppose I will now get ragged by Bendix or somebody for being off topic, as I haven't noticed any grouse moors in Thailand.

It isn't much of a topic anyway

Go to your nearest offy and ask for a bottle of Grouse. :o
