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.

Crows egg? I wanted creme egg.

HairyDogsOfThigh · 10/08/2019 09:38

These roadside cafes have gone quite upmarket since their inception, sautéing in wild garlic butter indeed.

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 10/08/2019 17:40

Could I get pan fried baby squirrel with a side of seared newts on a bed of al-dente nettles garnished with a smoked water rat jus please? (Served on a tree branch?)

LadyCarolinePooterVonThigh · 10/08/2019 18:27

Newts are off. I could do you some seared dormouse? Or scared. Up to you.

WombleofThighlandCommon · 10/08/2019 18:49

DH has just popped out to the local Chinese takeaway. I'm having the seagull chow mein with beetle fried rice.

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 10/08/2019 18:53

Seared or scared dormouse both sound a fair substitute Caroline!

Also do you have any of those chocolate toads someone was on about?

Womble that's good! Carry on reducing the seagull population, they are evil birds!

In fact can I have a whole deep fried sea-gull to go as well for tomorrow's lunch?

ThighThighOfthigh · 10/08/2019 21:16

Are seagulls still demanding lipstick 💄

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 10/08/2019 22:21

They might be we need to ask @TractorTartofThigh about seagulls

LovelyCocksReg · 10/08/2019 22:22

I’m by the sea right now. There are a few dead crabs and some worms and a few rabbits but very little actual alive sea life. I can open a food truck, it’s very up-and-coming round here (it isn’t). The house also smells peculiar, which I think can only count in my favour.

WombleofThighlandCommon · 10/08/2019 22:23

The seagulls I ate were beyond asking for lipstick. Soy sauce, maybe.

LovelyCocksReg · 10/08/2019 22:38

I haven’t got any soy sauce. Could I interest them in some beetrooty piss? They could use it as lipstick, should they be going out seducin’.

Happysummer2020 · 10/08/2019 23:55

It's like the plot lines are there but they don't connect with each other....

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 10/08/2019 23:57

I think since seagulls are all a la mode I am going to run away from service for now

DerektheWonderdog · 11/08/2019 00:14

I go away for 8 months and 9 days and look what happens? Chips in baths? Pigeons on driveways? (No diagram I see).

I had so much money from selling roadkill in shoes I felt compelled to go and spend it to help poor, starving hog warts in Another country (location deleted by Mumsnet). They're all fine and dandy now, I'm pleased to say. My roadside caravan on the A21, however, has blown away. I'm sitting in the services at Maidstone staring at a reflection of myself in the window.

TheDogAteMySock · 11/08/2019 00:52

Yay Derek, you came back!
I'm sorry to hear about your caravan blowing away.
I too, travelled the world spreading roadkill delicacies far and wide, but i kept true to our roots and stuck with good ol' fashioned, traditional dishes. None of this fancy 'jus' and 'foam' and 'sautéing'. I don't know what these cafes have become now. They seem to serve up anything!

TractorTartofThigh · 11/08/2019 07:50

Well I didn't realise you'd all moved in over here! I'll have to do a quick scan read of what's happening. The seagulls are silent right now, they tend to shout at each other (or me) at 5ish then settle down.

YoTheGinPussyOnThigh · 11/08/2019 07:55

One packet of chocolate toads coming up Dangly.

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 11/08/2019 08:47

Oh wonderful thanks Yo

Cheers

Yuck, toads. I'd like one cube of beetroot please, I'm dieting.

TheLidoOfThighs · 11/08/2019 11:15

Would you like to on a bed of cottage cheese, Thigh, on a lettuce leaf?

Well the answer is no. When in Rome you will do as the Romans. It's badger for you.

LovelyCocksReg · 11/08/2019 11:17

I done us a art

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 11/08/2019 11:41

Oh super branding Reg

I must place an order, I haven't since earlier this morning!

Please may I have a small steamed rutting pig and bark chips (the paprika flavour) and a curried leg of fox-cub and goat fried rice and a side of deep fried grass, many thanks .

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 11/08/2019 11:46

Oh and a cat cock! No wait ... hold the cat cock, I've got one already!

TheWhoreOfStMawes · 11/08/2019 12:10

Been fishing again Lovers. Today is Starfish Specials. Brittle Star Bisque or Black Brittle Stew. I can also do you Seahorse snouts on a bed of barnacles. Beadlet Anemone mousse for afters with wastepipe effluent.

All must go, YumYum, down the hatch quick Lovers.
