I'm rather keen on duck myself, it's popular in this neck of the woods.
I'm rather partial to it BBQ'd. It cooks in it's own (plentiful) fat, leaving a crispy outing with tender meat beneath.

A duck appeared in my garden a few weeks ago when the culvert at the bottom of my garden flooded thinking how cute it was I fed them a little. I even went to countrywide to buy some special duck food (which incidentally they hate, they much prefer bread and peas!)
Word is obviously getting round duckland as I now have 5 ducks camped out on my patio pecking the back door for bread every two hours!!
And you'll have a few foxes soon for sure, then a few feathers...

I'm scared of helicopters -particularly chinnocks, and every day this week we have had crazy low fly overs (normally 3 at a time) of chinnocks and apaches. The whole house shakes it's terrifying (for me anyway!) Today the chinnocks looked like they were carrying aid packages underneath? Apparently there is some NATO training thing at Salisbury? Some really crazy planes have gone over tonight - the look like modern versions of old wartime bombers with propellers on each wing? Any plane buffs on here?

By far and away the biggest cunts at parent's evening are those parents who are also teachers. If you don't like the school's marking policy TAKE YOUR FUCKING KID TO WORK WITH YOU, SHITHEAD.

That marking system you retweeted on twitter the other day was rather good I thought?

My eldest has fucking SATs on playoff semi second leg Monday. I don't give a shit about SATs results, they're nearly entirely pointless, but he wants to do well so isn't coming to the game now.
I suppose if we lose, he's better off in bed, and if we win he'll go to Wembley so its not all bad.

It's frequency that bothers them. School policy is to mark 1 in 6, which for me is once a term (so I only ever mark assessments). One woman told me she thought I ought to mark books after every lesson. But she works at a private school...

Are you a secondary school teacher, I assume so .

Bless him, I'm a year 6 TA - SATs are so much pressure for them - so glad I'm not there this year

First time I saw a Chinook, I briefly thought it was a UFO. I was walking up near Barbury, dusk time on a grey November day when I heard and then saw this thing, partly obscured by low cloud, then appearing again as a long cigar shaped thing...UFO's often get reported as cigar shaped. It wasn't until it got into more clear space that I could see the rotors, which gave it a distinctly terrestrial look. Could be a C 130 Hercules

Where did/do you both live? I'm looking as far west as Acton, as north as Hampstead and Islington-ish, as far south as Putney and ignoring anything east. There's decent places about, it's just that by the time I call to arrange a viewing they're gone or they're just currently out of our budget. I presume you both house/flat shared? Me and my fiancé live in Barnes. 20 mins to Waterloo, very un-London in a way. Green, quiet, pretty and on the river with belting pubs but zone 3, 20 mins to town and 10 to Hammersmith. We've rented privately for 2 years and have just signed up for another two (after batting down the landlord's 20% hike). Putney's alright but, for me, it's a bit too Clapham-ish. Full of rugby-loving graduate arseholes. I'd suggest Richmond and Barnes, or alternatively Teddington and Surbiton can be good value (relatively).
