>_<

Reading this reminds me of the time while holidaying in Phuket and was riding in one of the locals taxi called tut-tut(3 wheeler type). Being night, the darkness was lightened by the moonlight only... whilst in a normal turn at the hill; we just went BANG...everyone went Upz and down and when I looked behind...I honestly saw a Big and Lengthly Snake right across the same road that we just passed...LOL and it was heading towards the side hedges.

Hence if one is out in Phuket and saw a huge snake with wheeler marks...that's has to be from my ride then!...LOL

They truly are the most stupid animals on the planet.


Yep, there's nowt quite as daft as a pheasant!! It's silly season for them at the moment too, there'll be a few shoots at our place to clear the roads of a few soon.

Pheasants run and run and run, then at the very last minute seem to think 'hang on, what if I flap these wing thingies, ooooh, I can fly'! Then they fly into oncoming traffic anyway! >_<

My drive's full of pheasants every morning at the moment. It's quite a long drive (like 250 metres or something) and one of them ran in front of my car the whole way down the drive the other morning!!! Stupid fapping birds!

I was once in a minibus with slidey windows and a a seagull got chopped in half by an open sliding window and the person sat in the seat next to the window got covered in half a bird and loads of carp going at 60 miles an hour. I think we found it funnier than he did >_<

i was just driving down one of the country lanes by my house and i hear this huge BANG! so i pulled over and walked back to where it happened,
i found a dead pheasant.

it had ran/flown straight into the side of my mini! :dozing: and then got splatted by the car behind me >_<

thankfully my car is ok :ermm:

it didnt half make me jump though!


I read that as peasant! :gimme: :P

I once ran over a pheasant, its head smacked against my Astras plastic bumper. All I could see in my rear view was a cloud of feathers.

Sheep are pretty dumb too and they tend to lurk around the corners on the mountains here and they wait for some unsuspecting motorist and then run out in front of their car without any warning.

I did a tree-rat (squirrel) on 2006 L2B....it ran across the road and then ran back again- bump bump, cretinous creature !!!! That was my first roadkill in 11 years of driving. I also glanced one of those low flying fat and stupid pigeons on the roof rail of my Cooper........now that was like a snow storm behind me when I looked in my rear view mirror !!!!

Some mates of mine once saw a swan fly into high power cables. Apparently there was a big flash of light, a buzz, and then just feathers
