    Humour, DB.
    Happens sometimes on the bee forums.

    My hives didn't come with a plastic crownboard, but I had them cut from a sheet of acrylic. I don't think that's what encouraged the slugs, because they're on all the hives - and the slugs were only in one.

    I think related to the recent meat processing problems.

    Would that it were. We have not been favoured with an expansion so I fear the op must have returned unexpectedly early one afternoon and found a jockey under the bed, that would certainly explain the acerbic comment, especially if the joc was Irish. Perhaps he is disappointed that when the two French horses in this years Grand National finished, it was too late for photographs. The Prix de L'arc de Triomphe has been won most frequently by French horses ( not surprising as it's a french race and the handicapper is usually to be relied upon), but Ireland, a country which is but a fraction of the size of France is next in producing winners .
    The whole suggestion of Irish thoroughbreds being slow is preposterous and a slur on any horse that ever looked through a bridle, insulting to those who produce these animals and shows contempt for the stable boys and girls who receive but little recognition for their hard work.
    I shall not comment further and as far as I'm concerned the matter is now closed. But if Chriss Cross or whatever he calls himself, would like to ride an Irish hunter(point to point) or a thoroughbred then we will certainly accomodate him.

    LOL at local fast food. Never been a better time to be a vegetarian.
    And we still don't know who ate Shergar.

    It was a slug he found stretched out between two frames, eight of them in fact, enough for a decent race.

    Ok DB. As you seem to have taken offense, there is nothing I wrote that implies that an Irish race horse runs slowly.My phrase states that the French would only eat snails that run more slowly than an Irish race horse, i.e. all snails. The choice of an IRISH race horse as opposed to a FRENCH race horse was that we can sometimes catch (and therefore eat) FRENCH race horses (as the recent illegal horse meat scandal shows) whereas we could never catch an IRISH race horse.Because they (the IRISH race horses) run faster.
    I love explaining jokes, even bad ones. I can't make the smilies work: perhaps that's how wars start.

    Lol! 'fraid it will have to be that murderin injun Tonto though frankly I wouldn't trust him to load a fridge
    There's hardly a buffalo or horse anywhere safe from him he'll eat anything which makes me wonder if he might have some French ancestry in his bloodline
    Still I digress
    I choose insults at dawn
