Only had this once, it was an Owl. Always thought they were cleverer than pigeons, not on this occasion

1. If you had a proper, fast Elgrand i.e. a G30 you would have knocked the pigeon into the back of next week before it had chance to shit itself
2. Pigeons are thick as fcuk and have a death wish lol

Maybe Pete should start a new line of 'scratch and sniff' artwork 
A pigeon flying into something at high speed has around the same impact energy as a .22LR bullet at 100 yards range. They do seem to take a lot more chances during spring and summer like a dog around a bitch in heat, many have flown full speed into my mum's living room window over the years leaving a near perfect dust impression of a spread eagle (spread pigeon) on the window. One a few years ago laimed itself doing this, blood coming out of it's beak and clearly had a broken wing.

Yeah , it’s silly season alright , the amount of roadkill I saw in such a relatively short distance was surprisingMaybe Pete should start a new line of 'scratch and sniff' artwork

The “old” deer’s are prominent just now too.
10 points for a zimmer frame , 20 for single walking stick and if you catch one that’s still fairly sprightly your allowed to celebrate as though you hit a nine darter

whaaaaat?! An Elgrand is class 4 because of a "parking mirror"?! What the actual chuff. I measured height at the front axle and it's 122cm, 8cm below their 130cm class definition. They're just making it up.

Does your Elgrand seem to get 4 or 5 scrape/scratch marks running the length of the car after you've had it in the garage?

Land Rovers are also robbed by the toll road, it’s because of he height of the bonnet, not the height of the car I recall. I have no idea why. I think you can argue with them at the exit or you could, I haven’t used it for many years.

I once hit a pigeon on a motorbike, (me on the bike not the pigeon) at 50ish, hit my shoulder and nearly knocked me off the bike, I think if it had hit my helmet it would have been game over.

This last few weeks has been taken over by our oldest dog Oscar.
What started out with a couple of overnight accidents and a gradual change in toilet habits has led to a terminal diagnosis of a particularly aggressive cancer. Although the type has been identified it's location is not certain, his prostate is enlarged and has some growths in it and there's blood in his urine.
A CT scan could be done to pinpoint the location(s) but with an estimated cost of £2,500 to £3,800 and the lack of a cure won't be doing a scan, we have opted for the palliative care option.
The prognosis is weeks rather than months but it's unfortunately one of those how long is a length of string things.
Picture for cuteness.

Sorry to hear that, they do let you know when they have had enough but its very hard to let them go, just know you have given them the best life you can.
