I have had the great pleasure of meeting both Nemesis and Pendragon.
They are both lovely and very forthright people...... :twoface: :twoface: Neither suffer fools gladly!
(You are both quite similar in that respect)
Different writing styles maybe..?
Anyway I won't hear a word against them....(because I am deaf)


Now...regarding the Goats, they are in my garden regularly and have decimated various trees / shrubs.
I would like to know one simple thing.   Am I allowed to eat them?    $dins$ $dins$   $hands$

aah thanks for that Fester.  :P

If you accidently on purpose ran a goat over thus rendering it road kill, you could eat it I would think.

Mmm good idea.... I won't bother fixing that slipping hand-brake, for the next time I see them in the road!   Yummm.

No point risking damaging your car - just shoot them as trespassers next time they encroach on your property.    Drag the carcass into the garage or shed and I doubt anyone would even know.  The scalp and horns will look great on the trophy wall.                         ZXZ

They really are tough old animals. A couple of years ago again on the Colonnades leading up to Happy Valley, I helped a RSPCA Inspector remove a 4 foot metal stake on which a goat had impaled itself. It had jumped on to it as it came down the hill. The point had gone in at the front just under its breast bone, passed right through its chest cavity and exited just behind its rib cage. As luck would have it, the skewer had managed to miss every thing vital on its way through. After a good twenty minutes tugging and pulling we finally managed to get it out and did that dammed animal show any gratitude? No not a bit of it. It just shook it’s self down and then ran off up the hill.

BlongB!... Sorry, I should have told you at the time.... the Goat sent you this T-shirt to show its gratitude..

Plus did you know that the 'Thank You Goat' ... is akin to the Xmas Turkey, in the Muslim religion?

When I liver in Egypt Fester, all the neighbours would buy a live one just before the end of Ramadan. They brought them home and kept them on their balconies until the allotted time and then  ))* they were no more. Can't see Environmental Health letting us get away with that in North Wales somehow

Blongb, absolutely first class, and the RSPCA inspector. I doubt very much whether I could helped in a situation like this. I would be good at running for help, and probably that is about all. Unbelievable that the goat survived. What did the RSPCA man make of the fact that it didnt appear to have suffered any serious harm?

Just because the goat ran off, that doesn't mean it didn't suffer any serious harm. A goat will do anything to get away from humans, even if badly injured. Remember that time when efforts were made to round up a group of them for rehoming, they jumped off the cliffs rather than allow themselves to be captured. Sadly, I suspect the one that ran off almost certainly died at some point later.  :(

We both put it down as sheer fluke. Do you remember the judge at the athletics meet who managed to get himself skewered with no lasting side effects, except a couple of extra holes, same thing with the goat. No sign of bleeding and as far as I know the thing is still alive and well  ££$ It had supposedly been stuck there for at least 3 days before we got to it, so I think if it was going to bleed to death it would probably have done so by then given the time frame

Thanks Fester and I'm glad we are of a similar nature Pendragon!

Now as for the goat which you are about to curry----- please don't put your extractor fan on fully or I imagine that we'll get the pong down here below you !

All this talk of eating the Orme Goats prompted a prominent member of this Forum to contact me with this fantastic story.
Its all true, but the member in question wishes to remain anonymous,  well just for now...

Just after the war, the member in question and their family had nowhere to live!  So they dwelled for a time in the gunsite buildings on the Orme's western slopes.
Food was on short ration, so the Father shot wild rabbits for food for his family.
Every now and again, the odd goat might 'accidentally' get in the way.
When this happened, there was a surplus of meat, which couldn't be stored (no fridge or freezer), so the member's father sold it in the town, and passed it off as Venison!
No one ever twigged, and repeat orders were frequent.

I love this account, (and more which came my way) I do't think it should be anonymous any longer... in fact it deserves to be written into a book.

Llandudno is a great place to live,but we must get a proactive council and clear the dead wood who are holding the town back. :rage: :(
