Water voles...
...our story the other night which began like this was inspired by something which has been part of my audio collection for a while, from Today.
And having heard them both, we've made it a duet.
The ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳. It's what we do.

Water voles: elusive yet charismatic creatures.
The picture that flew unbidden into my head when I saw jim_eddie_watervole.ram was even funnier than the one that arrived when I saw eddie_vole.ram . . .

You might have been inspired by Today but they nicked it from
HOW long did you spend doing that?
Parma Ham please....
I think that you could put that to music, as in ISIHAC one song to the tune of another. My suggestion would be Ralph Mctell's "Streets of London".
The sequel:
Water Voles 4
(queszion mark)
I don't like all this ramming of water voles. I have a soft spot for them, as some of you know.
It's here, all mossy and sheltered, by the riverbank.
Heere, voley, voley!
Collectively, a volley of voles?

You see Frances O, there you go again.
Now I know you will feel better if you just share it with us. Now sit down, relax and ...
Frances O
Do you imply the Water Vole Steering Group have gone off course?
Has - (pedantry a speciality today)
Quite, Valery. This is a particular bee in my bonnet. Makes me stamp my Minnie Mouse shoes in frustration
(Minnie Vole?)
Yes -
persons have, but group has
Does a-anyone else a-find the way a-Anne -Widdecombe speaks (regardless of thecontent) a-irritating?
Good to see Pedantry back on the blog. Standards must be maintained, tha noze.
Talking of nozes, and cute ones at that ... come, Frances O, and just whisper it to me. Use the back-route to find me, off blog, and tell me the story.
I am, after all, the respected custodian of so many secrets on the frog ... none have ever been revealed!
(Should that be Custodienne?)
Trust Fifi.
Have you been talking to the Bishop of Southwark? When he was found throwing toys out of someone's car, seemingly the worst for wear, he reportedly said 'I'm the Bishop of Woolwich [sic], it's what I do."
Oooh-er, fifi, that makes me even more scared (twitches nose, scurries down burrow)
Frances,
Yes, but I was uplifted to hear Condi Rice last night -er -um a- ing and all. So completely unable to explain or justify the prevarications of the Shrub.
Schadenfreude!

Ed - gezundheit!
btw, which of the Freud offspring is Schaden?
Thank you all for correcting my small slip.
I'm sure I won't bother subjecting myself to such grammatical correction in the future.
Did any of you get the content as a joke or were you all too busy being clever?
Very good Valery P (15) I wouldn't have noticed but know you are right now I see it, & do like to ensure my grammar is up to scratch. I am serious.
Frances O (22) very funny, can't think of a quip back but hoping RDJ will come up with something!
RJD I followed your link & found Stuart Macpherson, East Lothian Council Biodiversity Officer, explaining "The picture looks bleak but we can help this cute wee creature."
Is cute wee creature professional language now then, has he not been on one of those courses where were learn how to speak outside boxes in blue skys, cute wee creature??? I ask you!
Well, now you're just being silly
Frances (18) - err, yes.
Oh RJD (7) - what have you been doing trawling through my local council website???? D'you mean I have them within my policies?
Aunt Dahlia
Of course we got it, but you do set such a high standard for yourself. I'm still laughing at oily prat!
Lordy it's slow tonight - I posted something to RDJ about the local council earlier, or was it on another thread? I'm losing the plot...
Aunt D, oh dear, I didn't mean to be nasty, just trying to be a smartypants, sorry. I did like your joke, honest :o)
Is it available as a ring tone?
Helen
As you value constructive criticism, I expect the sky's the limit.
