OMD
« on: October 08, 2021, 10:45:58 AM »
We have recently tamed a small falcon. He eats out of our hands and comes when we call him. He sleeps on a ledge in our garden shed at night and here is the problem. Every morning when we go into the shed we find he has rearranged tools and  generally moved machinery around.
It's a case of Our Kestrel Manoeuvres In The Dark.

I do now! lol. :D Obviously didn't read your post accurately enough.

Never seen Kes on TV, just the subject matter reminded me of the book I read earlier this year.

Quite like a bit of OMD. Good band.

What picture do you use on the forum. I've seen it before but can't remember where......

Now I know where Leigh Francis got the inspiration for his Craig David character in Bo Selecta.

Bo Selecta was a surreal sketch show on Channel 4 from the 2000s featuring Leigh Francis (AKA Keith Lemon) performing exaggerated caricatures of celebrities of that time using latex facemasks. So Craig David - a young R&B singer from Southamption - would speak in a Yorkshire accent and carry a plastic peregrine named Kes around with him for no apparent reason. Both Francis and Channel 4 have now distanced themselves from the show following BLM due its use of blackface.
