"Celebrity" Gogglebox.
They use the same definition of celebrity as Celebrity Love Island or Celebrity Big Brother: you have to google the names to see who the fuck they are, and why they're celebrities.
Fearne Cotton and Denise Van Outen still looking well though

The have made a right mess of my wood shed.

It’s a hanging offence in my book.

But I don’t want to upset Greenmark. So they getting introduced to my nurf gun.

I get they're a PITA but don't make us call PETA

Raccoons are considered dangerous pests due to their destructive nature and often carrying rabies plus other harmful diseases.

But no, I’m not going to hurt them, assuming they don’t get hold of my Gin. If they do then there’s going to be a mass public hanging.

Good to know your care for nature is on such a sound foundation.

I remember a mate of mine allowing a wasp to land on his arm. It sat there doing that cleaning antennae thing etc then flew off. I would have freaked out, arms waving. He proved to me wild animals often only attack for defence.
Woudn't try it with a racoon or grizzly though.

Have to admit I really do not like wasps or god forbid hornets.

A few months ago had an encounter with brown and 3 cubs. Yes I was armed but never felt the need to reach for it. She looked at me and munched her teeth with a slight raw and they all carried on walking along the ridge line down to the river. No doubt to get some fish. I guess she didn’t think I was a threat to her cubs. Maybe I was lucky, who knows but seeing these animals in there habit and not behind walls/fences in a zoo is mind blowing, I love it. well apart from these raccoons which seem hell bent on invading my space. Bloody things.

"god forbid hornets." Agreed. Horseflies too. Nasty gits and difficult to swat. I appreciate this is negative but it is Rant Corner.
But I'm glad you walk armed to scare the bears away. Doesn't work with insects. Can you get Raid over there?
Lol that creates a funny image guy with hunting rifle spraying Raid randomly at annoying agressive insects.
Ahem, sorry!

Very sad.

Famous squirrel Peanut and injured racoon Fred were put down by New York's Department Of Environmental Conservation (DEC) this week to determine whether or not they had rabies.

Sorry about that. Our furry and feathery friends can be infuriating but have earned their space to live.

Don’t be funny.

But we all know what happened last time. I doubt the UK could afford to spend another £360 billion. They still paying interest on the other £360 billion.

But it’s true what the experts said last time, the UK needs to produce more food and cut importing it, otherwise you can’t close your borders like New Zealand could/did.

I remember when I was a kid at school eating my lunch and a wasp landed on my arm and was about to wave my arms around to scare it off and my mate said don't panic it wont sting you unless you threaten it, I asked him how to get rid of it he said wait until it is crawling up your arm and then flick it head on and it wont have time to sting you. So I did just that, I flicked it and it went a long way problem was it went down the back of a shirt of another kid and stung the shit out of him

Mpox is nothing like Covid. It's hardly even airborne.

It's the ones that spread easily you need to worry about.

Lol exactly how flicking a wasp is going to make it feel less threatened?
But, no doubt for me....... bee or wasp. Bee every time.
