+++Pheasant update Pheasant update Pheasant update+++

The Pheasant is now an ex-pheasant. I went down the “skin it without plucking it” route, which was pretty easy and not so messy. Removing the guts was also pretty easy, though “sticking your hand UP its bum” is not really how I’d describe it. It’s more “inside the abdomen”. And as for “Hope you have a small appetite”, I think Milan’s right. You must have had a pigeon. 1 pheasant was more than enough as a meal for 2. Even got some leftovers for tea tonight.

Thanks.

Definitely a pheasant. It was taking off at right angles to me and was just at number plate height when I heard the thump.

A deer would have been a different matter. One did jump across the road in front of me one morning. That was truly impressive - it came over a wall and with a single leap cleared the 5 foot wall on the other side of the road.

Gone before I could even think about touching the brakes.

how are you anyway ?

Thanks for asking.

Fine, but now on the bench and taking a bit of time out to recover from the living hell the last place had become. Gawd it was depressing there at the end.

But established some records:

1. Longer than any permie job I ever had.
2. Longest time at the same desk in the same office, despite the usual reorganizations.
3. No living out of a suitcase for extended periods.

ok, with you,

'Definitely a pheasant. It was taking off at right angles to me and was just at number plate height when I heard the thump.',

my guidance was assuming the bird is walking across the road, granted the symptoms your car endured are commonly related to hitting a bird in flight.


Having a rest very nice, I'm gonna do that too, but hopefully not for a few years yet, too much .Net to do and too many plans for the proceeds - fingers crossed eh.

Aren't you in DE, probably not far from me these days.

Milan.

I clipped a pheasant on "The Isle of Skye Road" just over't th'ill from where I live. I was doing about seventy as it glanced off the front pillar - the daft bastard was chasing the female that took off before it.

I stopped, reversed and put the bugger in the car and sold it to one of the regulars in't pub. Sorted!
