I love number one and yet again you have captured the Kingfishers beautifully.

Thank you Margaret.

I am really, really envious.
I am far too slow to catch them with my camera. I think I would have to construct a hide and sit there for a couple of days to get pics like those.

Dammit, the beggar moved again.

Thinking about it, that piccy would have been perfect in the brief encounter thread!

Feel free to use the one I made with some junk I found lying around down there. It`s the first time i`ve seen it from this side, I think it might need a few more branches.

Silly season is here again, Hurrah! That marvellous Krauty celebration known as "Oktoberfest" (celebrated in September??? Yeah go figure that one out) so being the culturalist that I is, I went & got some cultural enhancement in some rather large helpings!

This is where we was (Excuse fuzziness but it was the last piccy on the night & I swear it looked just fine to me when I took it

) - Posh frocks all round - Early doors - 'Ere I've been Oompahed & Jodelled again! - On my best behaviour & small Beers (However that was due to change shortly thereafter

) - Ah the heart of the "Bier zelt - Oh deary me, the normally stolid, serious & respectable Germings! A couple more & they'll be singing the "Horst Wessel" & Marching Eastwards! (x2) - Ah! Not on my best behaviour, there's that big Beer (1ltr pot) & I'm working on that impressive beer belly (as modelled by Mr Lincoln there!).

Surely the answer is simple? It's called "Oktoberfest" because you drink gallons in September and contemplate your actions and the consequences whilst suffering a month long hangover in October.🍺

You Sir, are a legend! Good answer.

You have it in September because you have to stay sober in October.....or that's what they say on the TV advert.

Beggar the krauts, just don't try telling me that!
As someone that chooses to suffer a permanent hangover I consider that October like any other month I should drink to capacity, I could not have on my conscience the amount of unemployment I would cause if I took a day off never mind the melt down of our economy if I were to take a whole month off!

IN PICTURES: Do you remember these 20 lost pubs of Accrington? (From Lancashire Telegraph)

The above was the result of going for a day out in Blackpool, what would occur if for one twelfth of the year I was to go missing?
