DS found suitcases on slip road.

DS 20 was on an A road slip road. There were two suitcases dumped on the carriageway. Other cars were slamming on the anchors or swerving at the last minute. It was safe for him to stop so he retrieved them and brought them home.

They're both PU leather and look to be 70s vintage. The most important thing though is he opened one and saw a bundle of fur in there, 'Oh God, it's a dead animal.'

My reaction was, 'We'll have to report it if that's the case.'

I want to give him credit because he immediately took it outside to investigate. He was calm and collected when he came back with a fox fur stole, presumably the same vintage as the luggage.

Now I want to have a go at him for clearing the carriageway. His face and his actions when he saw the fur, though, made me so proud.

If, indeed, there would have been £kkk or dumped pets in there we'd be waiting here for CID.

It was probably fly tipping. There's always a story about fly tipped baby animals around Christmas. Please don't let it happen anywhere near where you live.

Maybe it was an amateur theatre co trying to get too many props into a trailer. If so I've got your fur stole and the plastic suitcases in the garden.

Lad stop swimming so much! These folks can offer 'catch of the day' battered with fries and a side of badger fried rice delivered to your door. No need for all that thrashing about in the river!

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 07/08/2019 22:41

LadyC ooops!

Shockers · 07/08/2019 22:49

I find badger too gamey- could I have water vole please? I’ll still have the rice. Could I have a small portion of crispy water boatmen to go with? They’re the perfect accompaniment. Ta v much- I’ll have the cash ready.

IamtheOA · 07/08/2019 22:50

Sure, the glamorous fur stole gets rescued.... what about all those single shoes.

People are so shallow

TheLidoOfThighs · 07/08/2019 23:01

The water bike are spatchcocked Shockers, I think you’ll enjoy them. Can I up-sell you some dragonflies? They have the edge over water boatmen.

TheLidoOfThighs · 07/08/2019 23:01

Water voles

DingleyDells · 07/08/2019 23:05

Got any of those skylark-flavoured tic-tacs? A couple of sausage rolls will do if not.

ThighThighOfthigh · 07/08/2019 23:08

I'm not eating a fur stole, even if it's battered

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 07/08/2019 23:11

Please send me some salt and pepper baby ostrich with slug fried rice and fawn crackers!!

BlueWonder · 07/08/2019 23:28

Is there any chance someone can BBQ 30-50 feral hogs?

tararabumdeay · 07/08/2019 23:33

It'll be all roade kille and/or amazon pounding at the castle gates soon.

I'd like a chip buttie and a cup of tea delivered to me in my bath, is this a service you offer?

Well. There's ALWAYS one, isn't there? One smart Alec , one DIFFICULT customer, who wants something special.

Well, thigh you'll be smiling on the other side or your bath if I come round with a CHIP BUTTIE! That's cruelty to potatoes. We do roadkill, not veg!!!!!!

If you want that* crap go to Yottam Ottolenghies or something.

nakedscientistOfThigh · 07/08/2019 23:43

Nothing odd. I'm quite hungry.

Nothing odd? Nothing odd? GET OUT OF MY PUB!

Bellasblankexpression · 07/08/2019 23:48

I wonder what happened to Natasha.
Is she somewhere out there, wearing her fox fur stole and glaring malevolently at the OP in the manner of evil Disney queen, cementing her role as daughter in law from hell?

nakedscientistOfThigh · 07/08/2019 23:48

a quiche possibly?

Just piss OFF to The Fat Duck then??????

nakedscientistOfThigh · 07/08/2019 23:51

what about all those single shoes.

Exactly, EXACTLY, think about the shoes < compassionate>, kitten heals, pussy bows..

TheLidoOfThighs · 07/08/2019 23:54

naked at last you’re here, I need some help with the feral hog roast and the others have gone to sleep.

nakedscientistOfThigh · 07/08/2019 23:55

sausage rolls will do if not.

SAUSAGE rolls, just why, why? Just flounce off to the Maze Grill, go ON.

nakedscientistOfThigh · 07/08/2019 23:57

What dies this mean? ( asking for a friend)

TheLidoOfThighs · 07/08/2019 23:58

Brexit?

TheLidoOfThighs · 07/08/2019 23:59

I suppose we are nearing Christmas too, with all the abandoned animals.

TheLidoOfThighs · 07/08/2019 23:59

Delivered by amazon.

TheLidoOfThighs · 08/08/2019 00:00

It’s the logical conclusion of rampant capitalism.

Hog roasts have always presented a problem

  1. they don't ( often) wander into the M6 and get flattened by a Corsa
  2. hog roasts are hard to eat elegantly, in your car, whilst driving at 70, talking to your tinder date on the phone and sticking an ice lolly where the sun don't shine ( wink, wink, nudge nudge)
  3. solution ( I am solution driven, going forward, from the get go) we make a Hogkibab. This is basically badgers and shoes rammed together on a spit and torched until slightly less inedible than when it started . Lots of chilli sauce and 20litres of Scrumpy Jack. Yum.

When we have a plague of them after brexit, attracted by the mounting waste piles, more might die. Perhaps we could herd them. Perhaps the OP’s son would stand on the central reservation and shake a bucket.
