To wish that these bloody annoying foreign immigrants should piss off back where they came from?

[SaggyOldClothCatPuss]

Fucking Cuckoos! Two of them, half a mile apart. CUCKOO...CUCKOO... CUCKOO...CUCKOO

EVERY FUCKING FIVE SECONDS ALL FUCKING DAY!

Aren't you suposed to write to the Times (or is it the Torygraph) when you hear the first one of the year?

I'll send murderous cat to visit

Shoot them. I doubt they in this great country legally so no one will look for the bodies.

but they make fantastic clocks..

Are you related to DP? He was out trying to throttle some harmless tweeter at God-Knows-What-O'clock this morning ...

The cat brought in two birds this morning - do you want to borrow her?

well if things continue as they have over the last ten years you will soon get your wish, If there isn't a reversal in trend we could lose the cuckoo within five years, very sad. The use of insecticide seems to be the main culprit along with habitat along migrator routes. I shall miss them very much.

I'll borrow a double barrell shotgun and make cuckoo pie if they don shut up! I hate constant repetition, it makes my brain boil!

There is a dedicated topic you know for this sort of thing.

Just saying ...

It's the bloody woodpidgeons round here at 5 am. Drives me nuts! But it's a small price to pay to live in the country rather than the city

There's a dedicated cuckoo topic?

We really do have too many...

Someone once told me that wood pigeons say "my toes are hurting"
And the ring necked ones say "I don't care"! I can't hear them now without those words circling round inside my head like flies! That drives me dappy too!

There's a topic?
But I WANTED to post here! I'm waiting to see how long it takes for someone to tell me off for my title!

Not a cuckoo topic silly!

The Great Outdoors - In which we have an Outdoorsy Shite Top Trumps thread - you still have time to sneak into April

As an aside, it is the fecking blue tit who drives me mad at dawn with his repetitive yakking.

I think we are all pointedly ignoring your title.

I've not heard any yet this year, but they do wake me up at first light when they arrive.
Shoot the bastards.

Here's me thinking "oh i'd love a pair of cuckoo's in the garden" but after considering it..... no.

And murdering. They tip other birds eggs out of their nests. And entitled, they make other birds raise their young.

would

More like benefit scroungers, really. :o

You are obviously not a foreigner, and I dare say you cant possibly have a "multi cultural" circle of friends, for you to post such a heading "in jest" and sit back and wait to be told off, for fun.

Not sure what you are trying to do. Tell it straight and pretend to talk about cuckoos, talk about cuckoos, or liken cuckoos to people who have opted to move to the UK (for whatever reason) and is not put off by the fact that the country (along with its people) is utterly going to the dogs. (yet)

UCM is that you?

oh no, it is Saggy.

But surely the cuckoos are born here, they are just terrible ex-pats half the time taking their awful british food with them for the winter?

Er joke, Quint.
Way to kill a thread.
