Is the procedure the same for weasels? What about the stoats, who are generally regarded as contrary so unlikely to agree to a procedure that ferrets and weasels use, no matter how efficacious it may be in expelling the worms when one is plump with unborn young.

Yes but not because I'm afraid of offending anyone.Some people get offended if they can't find something to be offended by :roll:
I was going to start a thread last week to gauge the difference,if any,between the replies here and those on the topic on another forum I use.I didn't start the threads on this matter on the other forum btw and decided against it here as I didn't think it would end well.

The use of more than one forum in any year indicates that the user has insufficient proper activities to employ them. Or that they may be a-one o' them narcissies, looking for agreement and approval on, oh, every little belief and habit they have, even motorbike hooning!

Of course, multiple forum use, especially if the blatherer is also a twatterer and inclined to go on that faecespuke, is probably undiscussable as those of the habit are likely to get offended; or even unhappy. (They're only happy when they're unhappy, as well as offended if they can't get offended).

Life really would be boring if one stuck to one forum and one hobby :wink:

I occasionally use another forum in connection with my other hobby, and there the mods are “all over” the equivalent of the tea shop, because it descends into seriously crazy and seriously nasty stuff once religion, politics, etc raise their heads.

I also follow the Gravel Bikes Facebook page, but the atmosphere on that is totally different due to a younger average demographic, no politics, no religion, but the young blokes sometimes get a bucket of cold water poured over them for getting too “frisky”.

Get a bidet. It might be a Frenchy idea but a good squoit of your ejector is a lot cleaner than using them paper muck spreaders! Get a fancy Japanese one that plays music, has perfumed warm water and dries you with a pleasant nether-zephyr. Some even give you directions in a pleasant Japanese fashion. I'd like one that rubs in the chammy cream after its done everyfink else.

Of course you should, but exactly what are you intending to use it for ?

My passionate undiscussable is gender ideology.

It might be safer to alight upon stoats.

You called?

Spotted in front of my house a number of years ago. We weren't best pleased, as they have a taste for our favourite fauna.

This is stoatally not on.

Speaking of quantum mechanics, it was Werner Heisenberg's birthday last week. Here he is shown torturing Herr Schrödinger's cat,

said cat fortunately being out of shot to spare delicate sensibilities.
