You call that an addiction already?
Stop trolling & grow up
Hey Dave, Rusty is our well respected poster, he is part of who we
are, urg, he doesn't and wouldn't troll. He has a sense of humour,
don't you often natter over the garden fence with your neighbours and
share a joke, a smile, I do, I wish Rusty was my neighbour.

Well, I *did* until I read the bit about shooting rooks. We're very fond of
'our' rooks! ;-)
I'd rather do a regular limited cull of fledgelings with a good air
rifle than watch the owner missing and/or wounding scores of adult
rooks.
I like rooks too, but they have their drawbacks where farm livestock and
arable crops are concerened. They are positively good for some crops,
generally neutral for others, but can be really harmful to some
germinating seeds.
So, if I can bag a number every year and keep the rookery in equilibrium
so it doesn't provoke the farmer into an irregular spat of flying
feathers, I count that as
a) ethical
b) pie
c) ethical pie
d) not as good as sqrl pie...
