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.

Yes to pikelets! Anyone who calls them "crumpets" is a thinly veiled sexist.

HairyDogsOfThigh · 08/08/2019 10:25

Hear, hear, naked, some people are just heathens.
Marmalade from oranges, huh!

nakedscientistOfThigh · 08/08/2019 10:26

Well I'm hopping mad.

LadyCarolinePooterVonThigh · 08/08/2019 10:26

Naked I worship at your feet. Just that.

HairyDogsOfThigh · 08/08/2019 10:27

They'll all be queuing up post brexit, thats what i say. I've started stockpiling earwigs ready for the onslaught.

LadyCarolinePooterVonThigh · 08/08/2019 10:30

Psst dog, there's room in my storage unit. First come first served.

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 08/08/2019 10:35

I'd rather scoff at the roadside cafe than at the omens!

Jus' sayin'

Have you tried a mirror Grin

nakedscientistOfThigh · 08/08/2019 12:02

Have you tried a mirror grin

Funnily enough, I have actually tried mirror! It is a great delicacy in my native province, but sadly so many majestic creatures have been sacrificed for just the wing-mirror, I can't see that its ethical.

The taste is unique, smooth, delicate, crunchy. But, beware, if prepared incorrectly, it can be fatal! As in the great fugu chefs of Japan, mirr-or ( as its correctly pronounced) chefs have to be trained for many years to remove the deadly glass-gland and make it into one of THE finest delicacies that you could ever pace into your bouche.

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 08/08/2019 12:10

Naked can I add salt and pepper wing mirr-ors to my buffet order please?

Can you prepare them all correctly, except one (and put that one in a separate box labelled with skull and crossbones ta!

ThighThighOfthigh · 08/08/2019 12:29

I'm looking for an unfurled Cumberland ring.

Please stop sprinkling brick dust on my dogs.

LadyCarolinePooterVonThigh · 08/08/2019 12:30

naked is it true that woks were discovered during the search for a perfect hub cap?

WombleishThigh · 08/08/2019 12:46

I can supply a large quantity of dehydrated heron, if that's anyone's thing? Nice and crunchy, your dehydrated heron, eaten as-is. Rehydrated they're a bit tough, but lovely for soup.

WombleishThigh · 08/08/2019 12:53

This thread has triggered me. With triggerist things. Just general triggering, in general.

WombleishThigh · 08/08/2019 12:54

In fact, I'm so triggered, I can't remember what my trigger is. It's not badgers, I'm quite sure of that.

LadyCarolinePooterVonThigh · 08/08/2019 12:55

Yes. I thought this was a safe space. There was no trigger warning.

Hellocanyouhear · 08/08/2019 12:57

Lol please continue. I don’t know about others but I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your musings lol

ThighThighOfthigh · 08/08/2019 13:15

Can i have a fresh polyglot musing please.

WombleishThigh · 08/08/2019 13:28

You want chips and mushy peas with that, Thigh?

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 08/08/2019 13:28

No fresh musing left I tried to order, but they do have 'gone off' musing!

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 08/08/2019 13:29

Triggered!! Shock

nakedscientistOfThigh · 08/08/2019 14:32

Yes, you may

ThighThighOfthigh · 08/08/2019 16:20

Why thank you. How about a straight sausage, nothing odd, nothing fancy. Just a nice, plump sausage. Hold the herbs.

TheLidoOfThighs · 08/08/2019 16:54

No sausage for you. You can have a stuffed eel.
