If Liz ******* from class 5C at my school logs on there, they're going to need several terabytes of free server space...

Just at the weekends, or full time these days?

RSPCA kitten huggers are, without exception, complete cunts and utterly powerless unless accompanied by plod. They'd swiftly be told to go fuck themselves, whether legit or not, by me.

Channon was still a decent player when at Norwich, even though he was at the arse end of his career. It went downhill after that tho. There's always some excitement at the end of every season for Norwich. Beats mid-table mediocrity.

I have something to say. It's better to burn out than to fade away!

Cunt. Hic.

There are still plenty of denuded wetlands... On Xhamster.

Anyway, fuck this shite SP. The sooner heather [Mills] is extinct, the better. 7-0 to the mighty Canaries last night. The bubbly is in the fridge ready for the now inevitable promotion back to the promised land where they'll be torn a new arsehole every week.

No so for upland heather moorland, and as you point out, the lowlands heaths are lost largely due to reasons unrelated to shooting. In fact, shooting is one of the few economic reasons for maintaining them.

This time of year it's very easy to find pheasant and partridge (red legged, not too many Greys here compared to North Norfolk) nests in the hedgerows, if you know how. It just takes a very keen eye and lots and lots of practice. I found a pleasant nest this morning. Lowland gamekeeping practices are unrecognisable now from what they were a few generations ago, but this is driven by economics, not the arguments you've presented. Historically, tenant farmers would not have shooting rights (except for pests) these were retained by the landlords. Formerly, gamekeeping practices depended on the very labour intensive killing of every predator in sight in order to enhance the wild population (much as still happens on the Holkham estate in North Norfolk where grey partridges still thrive), whereas now the practice is to introduce excess numbers and accept the losses. Ultimately the latter is much cheaper way of producing a 'harvestable surplus'. Neither approach is perfect though.

I actually don't disagree with some of what you've written here, but there's a reason why the UK has 75% of the world's upland heather moorland. It's a rare and fragile habitat that, as you allude to, would vanish without intense management. Yes, the management practices are implemented largely to benefit the endemic Red Grouse, but the benefit to a huge array of species, particularly many waders, not to mention a good number of raptor species, is almost incalculable. I'd be amazed if the hypocrites at the RSPB [spit on the cunts] advocated for the abandonment of these moorland management practices en masse. If management for shooting were prohibited no one would step in to fill the void. Any human management plan will produce winners and losers and like most things in life it's about finding a delicate balance. The problem is, where is the incentive to manage these areas without the income that landowners derive from shooting? I don't see governments stepping in to fund their management. Who gives a fuck about jocks and northerners getting flooded occasionally.

I can't agree with everything you've written here. I don't doubt for a second that some gamekeepers are lawless, conscienceless cunts, but the reality is that the majority are not as you portray them. You're tarring with a very broad brush. I've also no doubt that reds were treated harshly in the past, because at that time they were just common-or-garden 'pests'. However, it's not disputed that competition from and disease spread by greys sent them into catastrophic decline. Gamekeepers do far more to manage our landscape to the benefit of far, far more than just game birds, than all the do-gooder charities combined. Their employers, on the other hand, I could happily live without.

Please do. Send a thousand. They'll be made into slippers and sold on ebay.

Was his poodle called Ming?

Really? Chris Packham, the BBC wildlife presenter, has described those who seek to eradicate greys as "a small band of lunatics" who are "blinded by sentimental racism". The bloke is a fucking idiot. Unfortunately, long gone are the days of placing bounties on the heads of undesirables in this country.
-
True enough. Everyone should be encouraged to kill the little bastards though rather than feeding the pox ridden cunts and cooing when Chris Packham is bringing himself to orgasm after they complete his latest challenge.

That could get very messy. People in the queue would be beating each other to death just to marginally increase their chance of being able to swing a driver into his noggin before he drew his last.

What do you call 800 dead grey squirrels? A fucking good start. Plague ridden tree rats.

It got 'a bit' boring months ago.

Did somebody say something?

Yeah, looks like St Peter Mancroft to me.

Let's try to avoid any discussion of the inappropriate use of colons though.

Halfendage?

What a pity that absolutely no one else shares your sentiment. Do try a little harder to fit in and be a little more relevant, you very strange, disturbed, idiot.
