Nearly as Bad as Ducks

[Wirefox]

One-legged plastic flamingos from the local garden centre don't count...

They can count to one!

from 8 ducks a night to a quick (ahem) Phalacrocorax aristotelis... So sad

I know but I keep my woodpecker up and think of England.

Which reminds me of a great little anecdote concerning Winston Churchill...I think I heard this from Stephen Fry on a QI show.

Back in the day of stiff upper lips and starched collars. A minister called on Churchill who was sat in bed puffing alway on his cigar. The agitated minister had come to warn the Prime Minister that an indiscretion had arisen that night in which a member of the Government had been found in a compromising position with a Guardsmen in Hyde park and the press had knowledge of the incident. Churchill did not bat an eyelid and enquired "it was bloody cold last night?", The Minister replied "yes Prime Minister - below freezing". Churchill carried on puffing away at his cigar and said "makes you proud to be British"

What really makes me laugh is imagining what the present day response would be and how many people it would take to orchestrate the press release.

Well it seems tulips are the new ducks on CiC. I thought I best get this one in before I start slagging off the tulip ticklers. I believe my name is mud in duck circles I can't pass a duck pond without being quacked at - and thats just the gentlemen who wrap their white lenses in cute little camo jackets - god knows what the ducks think. I am as popular as Elmer D Fudd down the local reservoir.

Never ever will any flower be as messy as a Duck, Goose, or Flamingo.
