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.

Mince magpies?

DerekTheWonderdog · 10/12/2018 23:51

Mince magpie pies? Chocolate badger balls? Squirrel stuffing?

Pffft. I am already doing a roaring trade in Robin Red Breast pasties.

Or ‘Robin in a Monkey Boot’ as I style them. They’re (not literally) flying off the shelves of my mobile lay-by cafe on the A3.

With some icing sugar on top they’ll be ‘North Pole Avian Breakfasts’ come Christmas Day.

DerekTheWonderdog · 14/12/2018 09:39

Kissing!!!! Are you killing all the poor little robins??? 🐦🐦🐦🐦

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 07/08/2019 16:19

Hello! Can I get a quote for Robin Red Breast pasties please?

Also can you cater a party of 30 guests?

I'm thinking of badger and rice main, buffet style with some robin pasties set out artistically to nibble.

What deserts do you do?

LadyCarolinePooterVonThigh · 07/08/2019 17:01

It had better not be for a wedding, they'll put the price up. Just say it's to feed a travelling choir.

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 07/08/2019 17:15

It's to feed a travelling choir!!

LadyCarolinePooterVonThigh · 07/08/2019 17:36

Dear Catering People,

I am looking for a company willing to supply a large quantity of canned badger'n'rice before October.

Many thanks,

Lady Caroline Pooter

Ps Discretion is of the UTMOST importance. Delivery to be made under cover of darkness.

Sometimes when a thread is on multiple pages I read the first page, then skip to the last to see how things have gone. In this case (no pun intended) it’s clearly gone batshit. I think I’ll just close it and step away, forever leaving how it went from lost suitcases on a slip road to minced magpies and canned otter a mystery.

@BarkandCheese GrinGrinGrin

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 07/08/2019 17:48

Bark WAIT!!! Are you saying they do otter??

Well I'd pay a bit more for otter! If only I'd known!

LadyCarolinePooterVonThigh · 07/08/2019 17:52

Bark, bats, you say? Hmm.

TheLidoOfThighs · 07/08/2019 17:53

Do you do a line of dehydrated food? Also keen for delivery before October. At night.

LadyCarolinePooterVonThigh · 07/08/2019 18:02

Highly apt for bats'n'rice, lido !

Dehydrated sounds useful, I'll add that to the order.

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 07/08/2019 18:10

Can I add dehydrated otter for 30 to my quote request?

And a side order of bats per person?

LadyCarolinePooterVonThigh · 07/08/2019 18:14

The bats are just nibbles, really, dangly, maybe get extra. They are very more-ish.

yorkshirecountrylass · 07/08/2019 18:16

OP I agree with you, and your DS. If he's responsible enough to drive on such a road I would hope he would be responsible enough to stop in a safe place and safely retrieve the items, and to notify police if that wasn't possible. But it sounds as if you come from the same generation as I do where if you can do something safely then you do it instead of asking someone else to sort it out. Well done to your DS, although I'll pass on the fur am not a lover of that trend!!

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 07/08/2019 18:16

Ok you've sold me! Can I have a quote for many moreish bats, please and thank you!!

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 07/08/2019 18:18

York if you would like any bats or robin pasties I'll add you in with my order for a bulk discount which we can share, but only If dehydrated!

YoTheGinPussyofThigh · 07/08/2019 18:36

Yo Catering Department,

I am going to Reading Festival later this month as am incredibly hip and trendy, down with the kids, cats in the hood and all that sort of shit.

Do you do a festival pack of food? I am looking for deconstructed badger n rice, batwing crisps, basically anything that is easy to eat whilst boogying. What drinks do you supply? Do you sell tents incidentally?

What I don't understand is why you keep on about abandoned baby animals. He moved a couple of suitcases out of the way of traffic. He hadn't opened them. Why are you talking about animals?

DodgeRainClouds · 07/08/2019 18:47

I skipped to the last page and I’m even more confused than when I read the first page Confused

ThighThighOfthigh · 07/08/2019 19:33

I'm looking for a wedding cake and can supply a fig eating squirrel for barter.

ThighThighOfthigh · 07/08/2019 19:34

What kind of oppressed group takes their dictator with them? Badgers.

ElGuardiandenoche · 07/08/2019 19:57

Well that’s the weirdest ZOMBIE thread refresh ever.
