theres loads of them there,too many imo., i could make roast duck for tea, keep the fat for roasties and make duck stock or soup with the bones, so i wouldnt waste any?

I think the parkie would kick your bum 50inch.
Try a chippie.

get a storage tub upside down, proped up with a little bit of wood tied to string.

put some bread around, and inside the tub then one goes in , pull the string.

then use the lid to slide underneath and take it home

ill be lucky, if i only get one!.

What about swan! Oh, that's right, they belong to the queen.
Or roadkill ? Plenty of squished pheasants or rabbits and THEY wont peck you.
There is one down the road...will I put it in an envelope and send it to you? The feathers will make a nifty stickey up bit for a hat so no waste there either!

follows 50inchplasma to the park just in case...

ooh no, I bet park ducks all just taste like Sunblest. You could do that (old style) Delia test of bread on them (scrunching up in hand and then looking most disaproving of conjealed splodge of yeasty disgustingness).

No I reckon you need to snare a wild duck.

Do it like in 'about a boy' - or go buy a plastic one and swap it - no-one will notice

See the thread about the 3 bed coucil house and then step away everyone. TROLL, TROLL, TROLL. Not a very good one at that.

I'm fairly new to posting but do people really have nothing better to do than write this twaddle? Is this and the council house thing supposed to be funny? If so I must go look for my sense of humour

Sounds lovely.

Could you nip down to someone's allottment for the veg to go with it?

If you're any good with a sling, perhaps you could try roast pidgeon next week?

qjbtc - you're totally right - boredom has amazing powers.

Spuggies in blankets make a good alternative to sausage rolls!
