Unwanted presents
If we were playing word association (football) and you mentioned chicken wire, I’d probably reply Bob’s Country Bunker.
That is because that is where the Blues Brothers performed Rawhide and they were bemused to find that the stage was behind chicken wire. It was for their own protection, as the bottles soon started to fly.
Today, I bought my very first roll from Handyman in Morley. It isn’t called checken wire at all, it is wire netting. This was to apply to the lower level of our wrought iron garden gates as Karen is fed up with unwanted visitors.
Basically we are finding fairly large Poohs on the lawn. Now I don’t think it is any of my former colleagues from the Town Council, as lets face it, they’d probably put them through the letter box. I also famously made comments in the Press about not trusting some of us to sit on a toilet the right way round…
We reckon it is a pooch, one that likes sweetcorn.
So, I’ve cable tied on two lengths or wire. Does anyone want a roll of chicken wire, only partially used?
By the way, here is Rawhide, Blues Brothers Style.
That was a good letter Ian. I don’t remember reading it first time around, so thanks for the link.

PJ, you may well have been poorly at the time.

Now I’ve looked at the date (doh), I was in hospital at the time. Did they print it, and any response?

PJ, they made it a feature! There were various letters over the subsequent weeks, some supportive, some clueless. They are all on my blog here, but I’ve just noticed that my Template archive isn’t working properly. Best look on my old Morleygate Blog, starting in March 2007.

Chicken wire is necessary for large poos.
