    Look south, down the M1, then down the A43, followed by A34 via Newbury, then M3 for a bit then the M27, let your eyesight catch the red jet to Cowes and get on the 1A southern vectis bus (it's green) to newport and get off at Parkhurst. Walk up a hill and turn left at Camp Hill Prison. It's on the wall about 150 yards along.

    I think 1 is for sorrow, so you might want to wait for a girl (3) or some gold (6).

    I'll keep you posted.

    quite sure, it was breaking into my car before it saw me and moved to the wall.

    It's gone now though, I hope not too many people have set off on the long journey to see it.

    I have my very own (well not really)...

    there's a magpie (or at least I think it is) that seems to have made it's home in the park in the town where I live. Its a right little nosey Barsteward, I was sat there minding my own, playing my guitar, when all of a sudden it's sat on my cd collection, pecking away. Then it tries to get in my bag, then proceeds to annoy anyone that it can. Though i havent seen it in days.. i reckon someone shot it...

    When I lived near Grenoble there was a guy who used to have a pet crow.

    Don't jump to conclusions, the crow probably had a gun and the bloke was a hostage.

    it's definitely not paranoia or anything, but I'm not leaving the house ever again.....or washing, just in case.
