About 4 nights ago, the foxes were 'at it' again in the streets around North Cross Road at about 5am. As usual I was woken from a deep sleep thinking that there were murders taking place outside. To my surprise, I then heard 'pop, pop, pop'. I can only assume that someone with more gumption/less patience than I has purchased a BB gun or similar. The screeching stopped & I am eternally grateful to my well armed neighbour. I assume no harm was done to the animals, but the noise drove them to someone else's street....

May I ask that when people give threads ambiguous titles like this they add the caveat 'the animal kind' or somesuch.

I opened this one expecting a discussion about the relative merits ofGirls Aloud and The Pussycat Dolls.

Second time I've been misled this week, that Stray Cats one had nothing to do with the elaborately coiffed popabilly band.

Play the game, a chap can only stand so much disappointment.

No apology necessary Miss P, and not pathetic in the least.

But I reckon that a thread titled 'Horny Canidae' or 'Sexy Canids' could run to a four or five pager.

Just a thought.

Foxes are vermin. For heaven's sake. There was no fox blood, so I think they were scared off by the noise as opposed to shot through the head. I don't like having rats or mice scuttling around my skirting boards at night, should I avoid disturbing them, too? I'm not that fond of spiders either, but at least they're nice and quiet.

you need a bloke (with testicles, eunuchs don't work) to wee where they come into your garden. its a scent thing - early morning pee is best as its stronger, not after the pub, and you need to go in the same spot a few times to make it work


the fox population has increased this year because of the mild summer and the increasing amount of food waste left around.


part of the racket is now no longer due to mating but fighting as the adults kick this year's litter out and they encounter other foxes territories - this is all the barking, running around and chasing in the middle of the night - and also demonstrates there are too many foxes for too little space, but winter, roads and mange will thin out the weak ones and the population will regulate itself.

Well I don't mind the noise, I think it's great we have animals living in a city, and it's better than the noise of screaming creatures being carried off by owls I used to get when I lived in the country.


I have a young fox asleep in my garden as I type, and I think it's great.


Live and let live unless they're actually harming you, that's what I say.


Edited to add: And if someone was shooting at them intending to hit them, I think that's bloody disgraceful, frankly.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
