I can't pinpoint the exact the origins of this perniciously infectious means of agreeing with someone else's post and - as you know - I'm not one to wilfully put my head above the parapet, but I'd just like to suggest that it carries with it all the style of catching sight of your uncle dancing at a wedding (with a tie on his head) just at the moment that he raises his eyebrows as far up as they go, puts two thumbs up (at 45 degree angles) and says 'skill' with a gormless expression on his face.


Please make it stop. You know who you are.

I think you'll find* that I identified 'The Keef Convention: saying "What X said" in agreement to a previous post' in my very brilliant but under-responded-to thread Conventions of the EDF in About This Forum.


So ner, it's official, and I'm going to keep doing it. And just look at these super-spiffing persons all upping their thumbs, what a marvellously positive and cheering activity it is! Many of them seem as though they could be uncles, and hurrah for them.

*Isn't 'I think you'll find' an incredibly aggressive and unpleasant way to say a perfectly ordinary thing? It should never be used by persons of taste.

    • Using the smart CCTV cameras is your best strategy - particularly if they have adequate infra-red capability. Setting them to be triggered by line crossing or areas of intrusion is worthwhile setting up as is linking them to a PIR sensor. The PIR could also be used to activate a sounder but that might upset your other neighbours. I have a few cameras around our property and I enjoy reviewing the recordings and apart from foxes and birds, I catch the occasional opportunistic thief on camera - like this one last Tuesday. If you need any help, please drop me a PM. S7.mp4
    • Not in Ed, but I was in NE England over the weekend and saw an otter in the wild! Never seen one before, it was quite lovely.
    • Well unless the heron got them later, there were the  two cootlets. I think some others of this year's babies must have escaped the heron. Many years ago (and possibly still, though I never see them any more) there was a whole heron family on the island  - mum, dad and youngster. I don't know how long herons live. Maybe this one is the grown up youngster.
