Weekend post....

Against usual form I thought I'd do a Saturday blog seeing as I missed out on doing one yesterday, apologies for that. I'm guessing that some of you felt that a little piece of your life went a miss for not knowing or reading my next ramble.

So I was going to be heading to Oxford this morning to take in some culture and maybe a few local ales but in the end that didn't happen as my travel buddy wasn't too well. Instead I've bunged on the PS3 and I am cracking with a bit if Gran Turismo 5 because I've noticed that my buddies are catching me up and we just can't have that!

Seeing that I have a few chums with birthdays this weekend I thought I'd scan the t'interweb to find some pictures and of people having a good time......well I suppose people who started off having a good time but ended up completely smashed and making absolute fools of themselves.

Check out these smash heads.....











And finally I feel I just have to add this one -



I'd imagine this photo was only possible because my buddy Jo was keeping my upright......of course the fact that she's so pretty makes me look even worse....I'd actually only had a couple !!!

Drunk Chicks......

Following on from the mystery that surrounded the mass deaths of Blackbirds in Arkansas, a story that that I linked too in a previous blog another story emerges about some poor Starlings this time that dropped out of the sky in town of Costanta in Romania.

Initial reports circled around the avian flu epidemic that struck the area a while back and there were fears that a new outbreak had occurred however autopsies revealed that not to be the case. So what happened to these lovely little birdies?........They got drunk!

They'd been feeding on grape residue that fermented inside their stomachs and effectively turned into wine and got them so smashed that they couldn't handle it and the all bit the big one, poor things.

Now me being me is wondering what they would taste like if you cooked and ate them.....is that wrong?

Maybe a bigger picture...how about we introduce small amounts of red wine into Duck feed? Surely over time they'd develop a tolerance and eventually you'd have lovely tasting Duck that even comes with it's own sauce.....could do the same with Orange juice too I suppose.

Anyway what does a drunken bird look like? This one had one too many fermented cherries............



Word of warning here...if you are easily offended do not under any circumstances google "Drunk Chicks"................some of them are very very funny though :-D
