If you see a single, you're supposed to ward off bad luck by saying 'Good morning Mr. magpie', but What you say after mid-day or in the evening I have no idea.

Just amazing what you pick up on this bbs.

Postings about birds and windows cills always bring s out the poetic romantic in me, so here goes:

When I awoke this morning,
When all good things were born,
A robin perched upon my cill,
To greet the coming morn,
T'was gay and young and fragile,
And sweetly did it sing,
sweet thoughts of joy and happiness,
Into my heart did spring,
I calmly smiled at the robins song,
and leaning from my bed,
I gently closed the window,
and crushed it fucking head.

I think the little fella would take into account home advantage!

no such thing as home advantage for us anymore and 1 magpie is bloody bad luck! I wish you'd keep them to yourself instead of sharing them!

I hope you lot are prepared for a battle royal this weekend cos the fu(king apes are gonna be doing their best to outsing us and I for one am gonna do my best not to let it happen.....
