theres loads of them there,too many imo., i could make roast duck for tea, keep the fat for roasties and make duck stock or soup with the bones, so i wouldnt waste any?

Go for it, good idea.

GentleOtter · 25/03/2008 10:25

I think the parkie would kick your bum 50inch.
Try a chippie.

50inchplasma · 25/03/2008 10:28

get a storage tub upside down, proped up with a little bit of wood tied to string.

put some bread around, and inside the tub then one goes in , pull the string.

then use the lid to slide underneath and take it home

ill be lucky, if i only get one!.

What about swan! Oh, that's right, they belong to the queen.
Or roadkill ? Plenty of squished pheasants or rabbits and THEY wont peck you.
There is one down the road...will I put it in an envelope and send it to you? The feathers will make a nifty stickey up bit for a hat so no waste there either!

Heifer · 25/03/2008 10:34

wonder is the same law about killing duck in the park as road kill?

follows 50inchplasma to the park just in case...

50inchplasma · 25/03/2008 10:38

you can't kill swans its illegal, unfortunatly.

oh good point about the feathers. ill need to find a use for then too. pillows perhaps

Or a fan ! V handy when you become a 'certain age'.

Slubberdegullion · 25/03/2008 10:45

ooh no, I bet park ducks all just taste like Sunblest. You could do that (old style) Delia test of bread on them (scrunching up in hand and then looking most disaproving of conjealed splodge of yeasty disgustingness).

No I reckon you need to snare a wild duck.

Shaniece · 25/03/2008 11:17

Just get yourself to Sainbury's and buy some duck you silly sod . Or as someone else said, go to the chippie.

Threadworm · 25/03/2008 11:33

Tee hee at ducks in park tasting like Sunblest!

LazyLinePainterJane · 25/03/2008 11:39

is this cod?

Octothechildherder · 25/03/2008 11:42

Do it like in 'about a boy' - or go buy a plastic one and swap it - no-one will notice

micegg · 25/03/2008 11:46

See the thread about the 3 bed coucil house and then step away everyone. TROLL, TROLL, TROLL. Not a very good one at that.

qjbtc · 25/03/2008 11:51

I'm fairly new to posting but do people really have nothing better to do than write this twaddle? Is this and the council house thing supposed to be funny? If so I must go look for my sense of humour

GooseyLoosey · 25/03/2008 11:56

Sounds lovely.

Could you nip down to someone's allottment for the veg to go with it?

If you're any good with a sling, perhaps you could try roast pidgeon next week?

Octothechildherder · 25/03/2008 12:01

qjbtc - you're totally right - boredom has amazing powers.

Spuggies in blankets make a good alternative to sausage rolls!

winebeforepearls · 25/03/2008 12:06

qjbtc, you're probably going to get fed up of MN quite quickly if you don't like twaddle!

Wisteria · 25/03/2008 12:07

qjbtc - don't worry, we always get this in the school holidays

AeroglisseurPleinDesAuguilles · 25/03/2008 12:11

winebeforepearls; LOL at your nickname!!

codhotbod · 25/03/2008 12:16

so what do you think about road kill then?

qjbtc · 25/03/2008 12:18

Don't mind limited twaddle if it is actually funny hence why I'm going to look for my sense of humour as this really ain't funny!!!!IMO I mean, why stop at ducks in the park, my neighbour has a rather tasty looking but yappy jack russell. A decent meal and peace and quiet..... result!!!!!I'M JOKING BTW I must have found my SOH. I'm not adog hater
