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.

Oh yes, a hurumph of feral hogs, throwing themselves into the road rather than queue for a visa.

TheLidoOfThighs · 08/08/2019 00:28

Well you know what the Europeans are like with queuing naked.

Young men of his age have a degree of risk programmed in them. Luckily, they do grow out of it.

Do you do breakfast deliveries? Have woken up craving Whirligig Beetles muesli and batwing crepes.

ThighThighOfthigh · 08/08/2019 06:42

These aren't accidents they're throwing themselves into the road to escape all this hideousness. Throw yourselves into the road darling.

Up yours granddad.

@tararabumdeay , you are the first human I've encountered who shares a name with a rag doll I loved about 70 years ago. I used to add a few more rararas, and chuck her up in the air when I got to the boom.
My grandma sang me the song.

This thread is being deleted due to piss takers taking the piss.

LadyCarolinePooterVonThigh · 08/08/2019 09:49

And cultural appropriation which is thinly veiled racism.

I am more sad than angry.

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 08/08/2019 09:55

Och!

ThighThighOfthigh · 08/08/2019 10:07

I'm more disappointed than sad.

ThighThighOfthigh · 08/08/2019 10:08

Could I have some toast please with marmalade made from oranges rather than wildlife?

HairyDogsOfThigh · 08/08/2019 10:13

No, try the jellyfish jam, it's delicious.

LadyCarolinePooterVonThigh · 08/08/2019 10:16

Thigh I'm far more disappointed than you are.

ThighThighOfthigh · 08/08/2019 10:17

NO! I've got rights you know.

nakedscientistOfThigh · 08/08/2019 10:18

with marmalade made from oranges rather than wildlife?

Here we go AGAIN! Go and demand a table at the IVY if you want this kind of thing. We are a.road.side.cafe.

Our great founder and inspiration, known as TararaDS the great, found a sacred case at the very spot we began. He parted the Red Sea of brake lights and miraculously obtained the holy stole. At his righthand was the lord's mother, Tarara who bravely worshiped and on the left hand was TararaDSGF who nobly received the sole for safe keeping at the most sacred time of the year.
These are portentous, scoff at the omens if you will but BEWARE. Requests for marmalade will not be tolerated.

ThighThighOfthigh · 08/08/2019 10:18

I'm more devastated than disappointed.

ThighThighOfthigh · 08/08/2019 10:21

Could i have a pre peeled banana 🍌 and some plain yoghurt please. I don't want anything startling, I'm quite tired. Maybe a pikelet.

LadyCarolinePooterVonThigh · 08/08/2019 10:21

I'm more incredulous than devastated. I am still quite sad though.
