Chickens are not fierce. Geese are fierce.

I am watching and cringing a bit as I spent a good few years livin' the dream of self sufficiency, John Seymour bible and all. So half of me is shouting at their crapness and half is flinching in embarassment at the memories of my own mistakes.

Giles is nice, as it happens.

Giles Coren is a bit of a twat, but very entertaining.

I don't want him to be my best friend, but I do want him to get a friend of a friend who I see at parties occassionally (preferably after I've had a drink of two)

I wonder if he self-googles...

If he's scared of chickens because they make unexpected noise and might poo, how is he goin to cope with a baby?

It's the shirt. Lord knows I'm a sucker for a farmer but I could even fancy the Ex again in one of those shirts. Thank goodness I sent them all to Oxfam....

Our chickens were mean. They used to beat up the cats.

Sue just doesn't appreciate Giles' finer points - not in the same way as I would anyhow Grin

I can't imagine them having a baby! I thought Sue was gay?

You have to wrangle them right SoH. Be the Master. Chicken Master.

Mine fight with the rabbit but ignore the squirrel.

Getting a bit cross with their planting out of plug plants and obviously not having planted 90% of the garden tho. I was hoping to be fooled into believing it was real.

Not a Giles fan so generally clueless about his RL! Having said that I'm surprised he isn't gay, or is he?

I was pleased that Sue said 'I can't actually be expected to live with Giles' so they were just learning some skills not pretending that they would be living together for a whole summer.
