These jokes are making me quail with raptor. But maybe you should let someone else have a tern PSD?

A change is as good as a rest they say, but then they do talk a load of b******s. However if you want to see Ptols duck Cuthbert pictured wearing an awfully becoming duck hat pop over to terrascope.co.uk/forum. You want to select Chit Chat and Idle Banter, then Anna's Knitting Patterns and Recipes and its about half way down the first page. Near the top of that page is Ptols pattern for a tie on chicken hat, I kid you not.

Oh now, Tracy, there's no need to feel down, and there's no need to go quackers, eider. You know what they say - if you can't bantam, join 'em!

It could be a puddle duck, from that angle.

I am gathering info on Ptols on the other forum, I have an inside source who is willing to spill beans for a supplement to the miserable pocket money her father doles out. You would not believe some of his personal habits. On second thoughts you probably would.

Skiffle, you're right, I could have phrased it differently,..... but why would I want to? hee hee!
