    Talking Ok you lot, its nearly April....so own up!!!

    A while ago, some joker put an article about luring rabbits using carrot mash etc.

    He called himself F.Barti poos (ONO ...my memory aint what it was sonny).

    Either way, I feel sure a few tried it. I gave it thought untill I worked out the anogarms

    So, just out of interest, any of you lot going to admit to it...or better still, grass on yer mates

    Come on, how thick must you be to fall for that? Only the offspring of a gunpower owner and a sun reader would fall for it

    I don't agree with things like that, this is a serious forum and should be treated as such .

    I went out and looked for one....
    Your work is both good and original. Unfortunately where it is good it is not original, and where it is original it is not good.
