Buy some quality sliced bread, I prefer brown wholemeal Buy some decent butter and. cover three slices. Slap, slap, slap Buy some Norwegian smoked salmon slices from Lidl, half the price of anywhere else Schlaop, schlaop, schlaop. Buy a jar of decent powerful horseradish sauce and some Creme Fraiche and mix the two according to taste. spleayed, spleayed, spleayed Put the three lids on to complete thunk thunk thunk and Robert's yer mother's brother

Down with hot pants and up with mini skirts!

Here''s one for all you stump grinders!

Another version. I did like the country pickin at the start, not sure about the rest

Better start eating those beefburgers Stubby!

Totally agree with that. I saw a buzzard pick up a leveret for a bout 50 yards, it was screaming and the buzzard dropped it and settled in a tree nearby. Out of nowhere the mother hare came, I thought to comfort the apparently, little harmed leveret but instead she just jumped over it three times and then went off. I stayed around with the tractor until dark and there was no sign of a dead leveret the next day I have heard adult hares scream when wounded, which in fact stopped me ever shooting them again and that was when I was in my teens Vixens scream as has been said, Blood curdling! Munjac bark could be nearly a scream but not quite. Never heard a hedgehog scream or ever seen any evidence around the farm in 50 years of a badger killing one. The old gamekeepers used to suck the back of their hands to imitate a rabbit screaming to lure stoats and weasels out into the open to shoot them, as they were said to take young game or eggs. I have done this when I have seen a weasel disappear into a hedge, not to shoot it but just to see if it worked and it does. I have heard and read but only second hand that a stoat will pursue a rabbit for several hours. The rabbit will behave eventually in a very disorientated manner and can be seen lolloping through a field full of other rabbits pursued slowly by the stoat. The other rabbits take no notice as they know they are not on the menu but evntually the pursued rabbit stops and starts screaming even before being attacked as it knows there is no hope. Nature raw in tooth and............ Barn owls and Tawnys can make blood curdling sounds Last year my wife and I were awoken by a terrible screaming, which we thought in the end was a pair of Greylag geese seeing off a fox but in the morning we found a dead roe deer on the road which had been hit by a car which had badly broken its back leg. It was very upsetting to feel that the animal had suffered all that time when we thought that it was something else. Certainly the most distressing sound I have heard and do not wish to hear again

Cannot work out which one I prefer. You obviously need to eat a lot of hamburgers to play like these two. Kingfish is only 17

The single beat and single key reminded me of the "Pick a Bale of Cotton" song from "The Jerk" with Stave Martin.

Should help to solve the population and housing crisis in years to come.

I thought that you were taking the PPPproverbial but it seems not! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Magic-Salt-®-Himalayan-Fine/dp/B01BHTPFA2/ref=sr_1_6_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1530540989&sr=8-6&keywords=organic+salt

Eivor again maybe in the Faroes

That was a great link and has linked me with this lot, basically an old Scandinavian mixture. Eivor is from the Faroes and there is another one of her performing Trollabundin (meaning Spellbound) in a place that looks like the Faroes Heilung has over six million hits i could imagine many on arbtalk wanting to join in! Sounds a bit like the New Zealand rugby Haka at 6.20

Couldn't agree more Here is a link describing the Himalayan Rock salt https://draxe.com/pink-himalayan-salt/

All this seems to be the current medical theory but I cannot help wondering how our ancestors manged to survive a whole Winter eating hams that had been soaked in saltpetre , potassium nitrate. Maybe we need a little potassium as well as sodium and maybe that is what is in either the sea salt or the Himalayan rock salt that I have been using this week. The trouble is by going on a fresh food diet I was not putting in the salt that is automatically added to processed foods like bread and butter. It will be very interesting to hear the results from those of you who are trying just a little more. The recommendation is about a teaspoonful a day for a healthy adult.

Was it the sex , the drugs or the rock 'n roll??

Yes Salt was a driving force in the Roman Empire and I believe soldiers were paid in salt. "Worth your weight in salt" etc. The other thing I heard was that there were a couple more reasons why the Romans bothered to invade Britain. Firstly there may have been a global warming spell which meant that the crops in Southern Europe were burnt off and they had an Empire to feed. There was a bread basket here on the East Coast hence Lincoln and Norfolk being much more important than they are today the clue is in the Roman roads Secondly there is not much of a tide in the Med which means that it is not so easy to fill basins as the tide comes in and then let them evaporate to find the salt. We have many salt names in Lincolnshire, Saltfleetby, psalter road etc and they used the massive tides here and in Norfolk to their advantage. I just feel that there is a lot more to salt than just simple sodium chloride. It is a very delicate balance. Too much will kill you and too little will also kill you . So do not overdo it!

About five years ago, I was too fat and made a giant resolution to lose weight on a long term healthy diet. Cut out bread and beer. Omlette with vine tomatoes, spinach and mushrooms for breakfast and a pint of whole milk. Smoked salmon and fruit made up rest of diet. Certainly lost the weight, over 40 lbs in all. Coupled with exercise regime, daily bike ride and swim on top of farm/wood work. Giant halo now floating above my head! Started to gradually feel more tired more easily, legs feeling heavy, strength not quite what it was. Old age creeping on I thought as I approach 65. Suddenly became apparent that I actually may not be having enough salt in the diet. It says on the web that smoked salmon is 60% salt but on the Lidl packet it says 27% salt. Then I wondered if a lot of that is lost in the washing/smoking process. I never add salt to any meal except chips and I do not eat them any more either. I started to have bad leg cramps in the morning and looking on the web found that salt deficiency could be a cause. Anyway, I started putting a teaspoonful of salt in the omlette at the beginning of this week together with a twist of rock salt and the result seems quite stunning. Not only have all my cramps gone away but I do not notice the 1 in 7 hill on the bike ride and feel full of vital energy. There may just have been a sodium deficiency or perhaps iodine imbalance or even some other element that I needed hidden in the sea salt or Himalayan rock salt. I mentioned this to the old shepherd and he said that when he came in from lambing, completely knackered and exhausted, he used to go for the bread in a big way and thought that the salt in it gave him the boost he needed to go back to work. Just thought this may be of use to some of you sweating away in the tree tops in this heat. I know that most of us know to drink a lot of water in these conditions, but too much water can also make you salt deficient.

I am afraid that this sounds contrived compared to BB in his younger days where he gives it everything he's got.
