I'm sure you do agree with it, Angus, if only because of your obsession 
for criticising non-existent organisations, like your "fake" 
conservationists.

You didn't understand the question - once more :-))

Remember this?

Malcolm Ogilvie aka Dr Thick is confused about his measure of
intelligence.

Dr Thick:  "What a contorted question. The answer is yes. What about
yourself?"

Seems you have a terrible problem with negative questions.

The RSPB have recently admitted it's pro hunt stance by allowing
shoots on their land following the recent exposure by National Press
that the RSPB has 11 wildfowling shoots on various reserves. It's time
we questioned where the money we give to protect wildlife is really
going!

THE GAME CONSERVANCY TRUST
 
Perspectives On Animal Abuse ®
Turned on by guns? Enjoy killing animals for fun?
Join the Game Conservancy Trust today. 

The GTC: conservationsts or animal abusers?
The Game Conservancy Trust has the legal status of a UK charity. The
Trust seeks to promote the hunting, shooting and killing of living
creatures for fun.
The Game Conservancy Trust employs a payroll of 50 'scientists'. The
Trust combines 'research of game ecology and farmland wildlife' with a
truly grotesque taste for Orwellian doublespeak. Thus hunted animals
are 'harvested' [i.e. killed] using 'practical management techniques
which will benefit game and wildlife' [i.e. kill them]. The benefits
of being shot at and terrorised for human amusement are obscure, not
least to the victim.

What unites serial killers from Albert ('The Boston Strangler')
DeSalvo and David ('Son of Sam') Berkowitz to Charles Manson and
Jeffrey Dahmer is their early love of tormenting and killing non-human
animals. Fortunately, most animal abusers don't go on to become serial
killers. Nor do they typically end up practising pseudoscience in the
manner of the Game Conservancy Trust. But the coarsening and
brutalising effects of killing for pleasure are all too apparent.

Using their 'scientific' results, Game Conservancy Ltd advises
farmers, landowners and other ill-named conservationists on different
ways to kill animals for human amusement. Indeed bloodsports
enthusiasts continue to massacre as many of our fellow creatures as
they think they can get away with before finally hunting becomes a
criminal offense.

With a cynicism that almost beggars belief, the slaughter of other
sentient beings for fun is described by the Game Conservancy Trust as
'conservation'. (sic)

Do 'sportsmen' have no shame?

Looks like  GCT might be changing it's legal name after a failed
business. Much like Ogilvie, himself a failed businessman when he
tried to sell magazines that no one was interested in. Probably due to
the fact he no doubt just cut and pasted stories from other peoples
work as he did with Konters book on grebes!

If you've never used the term, why did you think you had to deny using

Why don't you piss off Pete, you are not intelligent enough to be me and

I know you are desperate for attention but your nym shifting, forgeries

Yes, poor old Angus is finding it harder and harder to argue his case. 
Still, he is now on record as saying that the RSPB is not fake, so 
that's one organisation he believes in :-))

Well that is a first.  I have frequently asked him to name a 
conservation organisation he approves of.  Until now he has failed to. 
Who would have believed he would endorse the good old RSPB as his first.

I'm on record as saying that the RSPB are fake conservationists. 

There is a clear difference between that and saying it's existence is
fake.  

You're obviously confused.

Oscar? That's my cat, that is. He's sprawling across my lap as I write!

Somewhere I've got my old Chinese Chequers, complete with glass marbles. I 
was a Chinese Chequers Master as a pre-adolescent, and could probably still 
knock spots off you all at it. My dad kept trying to interest me in chess, 
in the same way that misguided parents of talented recorder players expect 
them to 'progress' to the flute or the clarinet. I loved my little coloured 
glass balls, though, and had no interest in horses heads, forts and other 
strangely carved objects with their weirdly convoluted pathways across the 
board.

I also have a vast number of bears.

Nonsense. You have persistently refused to name a conservation 
organisation which you don't regard as fake. You have now stated that 
the RSPB is not a fake organisation. Thank you for making that clear.

Used to have a bagatelle board as a child  - thousands of pins in it. It 
would double up nicely as a useful bed for an eastern mystic. Also used to 
have a skittle board. The sort you pulled the string and everything stood 
upright again  - bit like old fashion Viagra. Otherwise, I made most of my 
toys being a wartime kid. I regret I did not hang on to any of them.

Just had a thought - I still have and use the chess set I bought as a ten 
year old. It has a four inch King and would be worth a bit now. I bought 
myself that from my paper round tips one Xmas. I suppose that ranks as an 
old toy.

Sadly, since the rise of Ebay, the value of collectables has fallen 
dramatically. My Horby Dublo retirement fund is now worth 'sodall©' 
there`s so much of the stuff available online that it`s a buyers market.

Still, any nice old bit of memorabilia, be it Beatles wallpaper[1] or a 
cheap teddy with all the fur loved off, is a joy to own. I much prefer 
to chance across an old toy with some genuine playwear than a much more 
valuable item in mint condition that`s spent its days lost down the back 
of some dusty toyshop counter.

I got a roll in the hay once. Wasn't worth much. As for the old stuff I have 
stashed, I can't take it with me when I go so I would desireably swap it in 
for cash, at the right price, ofcourse. I'm no fool.

It's a real organisation - it exists.  In a big house in Sandy with
executives being paid up to £100 per annum.  That's definitely not
fake.

But they're a fake conservation organisation - a completely different
thing.

My husband still has his original Monopoly, probably from the early 
sixties, with proper wooden houses and hotels.

He also has his own, original Teddy Bear, a late end Baby Boomer 
himself, worn to holes with affection, completely blind now, and with an 
embroidered replacement smile, who now sports a proper cowboy's bandanna 
to prop up his head. I adopted him as my own when my own mother gave 
away mine to a child of a former employee, around 1980, thinking that I 
wouldn't notice. Ha! When I gave away my son's die cast Thomas the Tank 
Engine collection when we left Britain when he was ten, I was told that 
he had been keeping them for his son! I'd love to get them back for him!

Between us we still have a collection of Ladybird 2/6d books, and I have 
several Beatrix Potter books given to me as a child young enough to 
write the "J" in my name the wrong way round.

I still have a jointed, life size baby doll from Woolworth's, circa 1962.
But everything was loved and played with, and so nobody would want it. 
But if anyone remembers being given a twenty-something year old teddy 
about twenty seven years ago, I'd be happy to be generous.

Bugger. I've got a train set still in its box, unused, in the attic. I kept 
meaning to sell it and never got round to it. Maybe I should just get it out 
and play with it. (I have some friends who are retired and apparently 
completely sane in every other way, who have a huge model railway layout in 
their garage, and invite guests in to watch the trains go round. I love 
them.)

I've got loads of stuff like that. Bears going back nearly a century, all 
well-loved. (And, sadly, no buttons in the ear so not Steiffs. Maybe it's 
just as well.)

Steve's got a really interesting thing made by his Grandpa, but I'm not sure 
what it's called. You put these skittles up and there's a ball attached to a 
string hanging from a post, and you swing the ball round and try to knock 
down the skittles. Are you there, Steve? What's that thing called again?

Sadly nobody plays with things like this any more, but being a family 
heirloom it will be kept.

I'd never associated myself with Mr Burns before. In fact, the name 
Burns immediately reminded me of Rabbie, whose day is coming up soon, 
and not Matt Groening's skinflint. But yes. Grrrr. My Edward Bear is 
much missed....and the only chillingly persistent shadow in my memories 
of my late mother*.


(*after 20 years I simply hope that she (who is *very* much loved and 
missed and had an adorably infectious and quirky sense of humour) 
wouldn't mind!  )

Apologising first!
