According to the Pommy papers, Andy Murray is a Brit when he wins, but a Scot when he loses

It's more than headlines Red!

Articles can be misleading, biased, unnecessarily emotive etc. etc.

The Hun was once a decent paper and The Rage was pretty good. Now The Hun make a good chip wrap or mulch while The Rage is only marginally better.

I am not going to spoil my chips by wrapping them in the Hun!

My new Demon Chickens!

I realise this is a footy forum and not a chook forum but it’s off-season so I hope nobody minds. 

Besides, the four little bundles of feathery cuteness (below) are all named after current Dees players (my three fave players… plus Fritta 🙃) so this isn’t entirely off-topic. 

Footnote: I tragically lost my last clutch of bantams to a brazen fox who clearly didn’t get the memo re being nocturnal, nor that my backyard is in the middle of suburbia. So these lil guys are living in the house until they’re old enough to move into their outdoor accommodation… “Chook Manor” a nod to @Bitter but optimistic😁

Left to right: Langers, Fritta, Melksy and Harmesy. ❤️💙

I wouldn’t even line my chicken coop with that newspaper.

WJ is in hospital with knee problems, so best wishes Jack from all of us on your favourite DL thread, for a speedy recovery.

Uhm if you’re gonna regard my precious babies as a menu item, at least get their breed right. They’re  Bearded Belgian D’Anvers. 😠

Geez OD, Jack’s only got knee issues, shouldn’t be so quick to wanna replace him.

Replacement?

Possible quadriceps tendon tear. Hopefully only partial and not full.

Don’t think he will be kicking any goals soon,  but I am sure we will see a lot of him on DL, as he recovers.

Well now ..... there's a question that, being both a gourmandizer and a man with a penchant for variety, deserves some consideration.

The breast, obviously,  is foremost for tenderness and texture but the thigh has its distinctive attractions. These are visual, through its generally darker hue and also, on the palate, as its flavour tends to be far more robust.

Some would argue that there is also an olfactory attraction relating to the thigh - but I am unconvinced.

In the end one's choice often depends on the occasion and, naturally, the accompanying libation.

PS: happy birthday Ed.

I’m almost in this photo. I usually sit directly in front of the girl in the foreground.

Should have leaned back.
