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.

There's half a bee on the road here. I'll call him E and hope the other be bit can survive the trauma of being a half a bee.

A pigeon met its end on my nephew’s drive earlier. I think it was natural causes- will it be ok done in the slow cooker?

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 08/08/2019 23:47

Yes will be fine, please sell on to previous contacts!

LynetteScavo · 09/08/2019 09:06

They sound like the kind of cases which are strapped to the back of vintage cars....I'd imagine the strap broke and they fell off.

Ideally he would have informed the police, but if it was genuinely safe for him stop and retrieve them, then fine...it was an Abroad not the M6

like hell I'd have stopped

To those saying he could have killed someone, by ignoring the situation, driving into them or swerving he could have killed someone.

Shockers you'll probably want to caramelise the feathers separately.

Sorry full context, full context

TheLidoOfThighs · 09/08/2019 09:59

I suppose cat-kill is out, naked?

HairyDogsOfThigh · 09/08/2019 10:19

I think the semantics are important here. Was it a natural consequence of the pigeon standing in front of the forward travelling car, that caused it's demise? Or was it was natural causes? Perhaps the pigeon was scared to death by the car passing too close to it? Either way, slow cooked pigeon is delicious.

ThighThighOfthigh · 09/08/2019 10:47

I'm curious about this pigeon, if it was natural causes it could have been DISEASE. I think road kill would be preferable. To keep costs up autopsies should be performed before food production.

Thigh, I don't like you posting on other threads, you're the wrong colour Sad

Hellocanyouhear · 09/08/2019 13:24

Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? I am calling from the other side

TheLidoOfThighs · 09/08/2019 14:21

Are you road kill?

HairyDogsOfThigh · 09/08/2019 14:26

Hello, be careful how you cross. You may end up on the menu.

TheLidoOfThighs · 09/08/2019 14:36

Oh, the other side of the road. I though you were dead already.
