Conclusive proof that Ants - regardless of funerary arrangements such as intermant in cemanteries or cremantoria - do not STAY DEAD!

And I am covered for thread-topic-relevance-deviancy Foxy - as the above clearly states.

That's strange LadyD because I found the post quite infantile & crass.

Well said. You never know it might even extend to learning to live with humans eh?

Who has defined the "rights" of foxes and humans? I wouldn't have the right to shit in your garden at night, in fact you'd have the right to call the police and have me arrested.


You can't talk about animals and humans having the same "rights" it just doesn't make any sense.


And for the record, I've got no beef with the foxes, except the one that nicked my childhood toy which had been passed down to my daughter who left it in the garden (bitch!).

On foxes..


Well I expect someone expects me to say that I think they should all be lined-up, have their faces sandpapered off one by one - and then skewered to death up their bums with a barbed pole.


But I won't say that. Because I like the little critters. YES, I LIKE FOXES.

So humans have more of a "right" to life on Earth than any other creature? As for shitting in gardens, humans just get pissed up and urinate in doorways, puke in public, and try to kill one another after "a good night out" wonderful habits no?

Erm, no. That's not what i said at all. my point was that you can't compare the rights of a human that lives within a society with a framework of rules, to a wild animal that doesn't.

Explain why humans are more entitled to occupy the face of the Earth than other creatures. Humour me.

"Explain why humans are more entitled to occupy the face of the Earth than other creatures. Humour me."


well none obviously, but given that the rest of the animal kingdom doesn't function on any moral compass, then we can do what the fuck we like to them.

Same goes for trees, cunts!!!!

If God meant us to live in peace and harmony with foxes, why did He give us guns and dogs?


Tally ho.

foxes have a natural lifespan of around 14 years, just like dogs. in the wild they possibly manage to live this out, but urban foxes' life expectancy is only a couple of years because of urban hazards such as traffic


see http://foxes.channel4.com/features/fox-file (and any number of other references.) It has this on pets and foxes:

Q: I'm scared that a fox will eat my pet?

A. You shouldn't be. It is actually very rare for a fox to kill a pet. A study in Bristol showed that the maximum annual loss was 0.2 pets per fox (a fox ate a pet once every five years), so putting your pet in secure housing should avoid this.


As a pedant, I should point out that the helpful clarification for Mail-readers should actually say "EACH fox ate pets at the rate of one every five years" (but then if a given fox only survives for two years, the likelihood that it ever ate a pet decreases...)

    • Hi if anyone has one pm me cheers 
    • You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious. But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation. ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.
    • I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial  phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them? This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them. And if during  the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face. If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?
    • Give Labour a chance, they've only been in government for a short time, and they inherited a mess! As regards the notice boards, to the best of my recollection they were originally intended as community notice boards, and certainly not for advertising local businesses (who would decide which businesses  should have the limited space on the boards, anyway?) East Dulwich may have become more gentrified since the boards were first introduced, but that surely doesn't mean they should now be completely  taken over for the benefit of  the "middle classes", to the exclusion of everybody else? As  NewWave says, surely these people have other ways to find out about groups and events of interest to them, which the "non middle classes" may not have access to, and even if they did may not be able to afford them. Several people including myself have complained to councillors about the state of the noticeboards in the past.  I think one of the issues is that they were originally maintained by local volunteers, who may have either moved out of the area or lost interest - or given up in despair when the boards were flypostered and/or vandalised. I completely  agree that the boards should be used for information about not for profit organisations in the area, but if regular maintenance can't be provided and/or they continue to be vandalised, then I think it would be better if they were removed altogether.
