See now what you've done!


I am too.... ahem..."working" from home in the back garden.......but curious now as to which threads tempted the "Sean" ish....?


Is it possible (in theory) to take gardening leave, from gardening leave ? If so I think I'm doing It...ahh..



W***

I'm not working from home - I'm on genuine holiday! No abroad for me this year me , so less of thing wink-wink


But as to *Bob*'s OP - yes it is hot, yes beer is lovely and that spicy chicken dish I just cobbled together hit the spot nicely after some tennis. Now if only I had some lovely open-air gig to go to, my day would be made..


oh wait...

Seeing as this looks the place for inconsequential chatter, perhaps you could put your beer-enhanced brains to this.


I was just getting into someone else's conversation on the train and it went exactly like this:


"Yeah, it's going down all the time isn't it. We can buy New York."


Pause.


"I put a bid in at 4:45 and to be sixty over we need 16.75. That's still valid until tomorrow morning."


Then I had to get off. Apart from learning that someone thought you could by New York for 4:45, I have no idea what was going on here. Anyone have a clue what this could have been about? I must know.

Cheers Citizen. All sorted now. My attention was distracted by a woman down the carriage fanning herself with a black lace fan - an unusual site on the 15:03 to Peckham Rye. She slightly spoiled the effect by visibly exhaling a gasping "F'kinell", but all the same, full marks for the fan.

    • Watching my cats over the years with foxes, I've found that foxes have totally ignored them. One exception was when a young fox hadn't seen my cat and found himself eye to eye with my cat at a distance of 1 metre. There was a stand off but the fox blinked first and my cat chased him out of the garden. So proud of her. I believe when foxes have attacked cats, the cat has been vulnerable  - old, young, ill wounded.
    • It's also possible that someone is hand feeding foxes and encouraging them by this to approach others. I have heard of foxes attacking young children (if only anecdotally) but not adults. They do seem to attack cats. 
    • I've noticed the foxes are very frisky at the moment, it's mating season. Perhaps it was a male fox who saw you as a danger to his vixen and wanted to see you off.
    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
