    Rubbish !!!

    Since when has the Hen appeared in any British bird book (and i know that all female birds are hens Eaststander, before you get going)</p>

    And what about cockrels anyway? According to Jake Thackray they could run faster than that.</p>

    RE: Jake Thackray? Have you seen him live? If so could you

    It was difficult enough trying to understand him on guest telly spots, without subjecting myself to an entire concert.</p>

    But he often used to go on about his high speed **** that could catch any hen and screw unsuspecting vultures if he played dead.</p>

    Now - how did it go?</p>

    &quot;You see them big daft buggers up there</p>

    They'll be down in a minute or two&quot; :pff </p>
