Was just reading up about Terry Waite's cousin who was one of the samples on Little Fluffy Clouds and found this article on the BBC website about oor Tel:

Dude is a right bad ass Rambo muthafucka, what do they teach at the Anglican church? 

I bet someone working at the BBC in 2005 still chuckles to themselves about that one. 

[Remspoor]

Also read the replies. More of these machines live then I thought.

He comes out of his yard, and walks up and down for 5 minutes checking nobody is watching him first.

[twosmoke300]

No , you are right - not obsessive at all 😂

I'm always interested when m11 pops up on the movement detected feed, he's a dodgy bastard and was a previous obsession for his habit of taking the dogs for a walk* by opening the door and letting them shit on everyone else's property. Got him nobbled by the council 5 times for dog shitting but he still does it.

Growing up as a kid and hearing the news on the radio, I thought the name of the place was Wartern-Bayroot. Sounded like somewhere out on the Fens.

To my surprise, they must have twinned with Wartern-Bosnia a few years later.

 

The Beeb loves "war-torn" as a prefix.

Got woke up this morning by a loud clonk on the bedroom window.

I wonder if he'd been out on the sherry last night.

Speaking of the dizzying height of professionalism from BBC reporters:

I would refrain from reminding her about them or Harrods, Libertys, Harvy Nick's, Heals or Selfridges etc. How often does she look at this forum? 😃

Covered walkway between buildings at a college I attended a few years back; there was a lovely imprint of a fairly plump pigeon in the dirt on the outside of the window, they were obviously economising on window cleaning as it stayed there the full 3 months of the course.
