Who knows anything about tents?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I wish to place a hide in a field for bird-watching. My plan is to put up a tent and cover it in camo netting. The trouble is that I'm not to assemble and disassmble the ******* all the time - how long can I leave a tent up before it rots away?

[Snin]

or such like imo

I saw some of these people in action yesterday. Thermos flasks, meat paste sandwiches, tripods and a lot of cagoules. If there was one of them who wasn't on the sex offenders' register, I'd be very surprised.

You do not want to be one of them.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I can't be arsing around with concrete slabs.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

She's mad for it. Always has heen. I've been out in the bush mesmerised by a pack of very rare African Hunting Dogs while she's getting all excited about a white-browed sparrow weaver.

Mental.

On the other hand, i really, really want to sleep in a tent in that field.

Careful, though, because there's a smelly man in there. :-(

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

They're so... outdoorsy.

[Berni]

Chucks up alarming, he does.

You want this sort of thing, yes?

I'll need a birdwatching area, a reading area, a bedroom and, naturally, shower facilities.

I don't like the idea of you having a sex tent in your back paddock. It's a short step from there to dogging imo.

retro and you can pronounce 'off' as 'orf' for additional comic effect.

Even then for a music festival I would recommend a camper van with a shower.

Bird watching indeed.

You filthy f**king pervert.

Several herons in residence, jays, woodpeckers and owls - and on the mammal front, a healthy population of rabbits, foxes and even the occasional badger.

You're welcome to join me in my hide for a weekend if you would like.

Casually leaning back, giving an air of cool and almost suggesting attitude.

Yet there he is, in his 'shorts', with his socks fully extended, left arm covered in badges which shows despite his attempt to sneer he actually likes scouting.

Filthy f**king pervert.

Odds on he 'bird watches'.

[Berni]

Actually, the story attached to that pic is even weirder than the pic itself.

It's a large field you see with various animals grazing. Foxes move at will among them.

Sadly there is plans submitted with the local council to turn this idyll into 297 residences, but *we* will fight it to the end.

In general if I want to look at wildlife, which I don't, I google them.

[Berni]

gives you a sexual frisson, doesn't it?

[Berni]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Birds especially.

[Pat Vegas]

Didn't see many in the summer but lately everyday.

Plus they love running in front of my car.

[Berni]

yourself gives you sexual gratification. You'll be peering in ladies' windows next.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I like that about you.

[Pat Vegas]

is smashing their heads in with a brick.

And the proprietor is going to invite you down to his basement to see his collection of N.azi* memorabilia.


*Seriously, this particular substitution is even more f**king annoying than all the others.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Berni]

I think we both know there's going to be an ocean of wrongness going on in Collector's Corner, don't we? :-(

Also, it's in Dartford, so it's mostly going to be full of people who think you need to wear camouflage gear to catch tench.
