Is that 'coo' as in the sound pigeons make?

 

[Easy 10]

Yes. Yes it is.

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

Coo.

Pretty cool looking year, by the way.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Yes. Yes it is.

It was the year when the creator of Pigeon Street lost his first and only wife to continued spousal abuse.

If i were a mouse, or any small hole-dweller, i'd be shitting myself now.

In fairness, if you were a rodent or small hole dweller, its unlikely you'd be reading NSC. And even if you happened to be a rodent with an internet connection and the means to link up to an ISP, I don't think reading the mating call of a peregrine falcon would have the same startling effect it would as actually hearing it.

But I know where you're coming from.

I thought you were going to say COON but stopped yourself just in time..

I will have to wait till I get home to peruse your photo, MB. The nazi Websense deems it inappropriate for my viewing pleasure on work premises.

It gives me something to look forward to tonight though

Coo.

and I believe that was the very last time Crystal Palace were able to beat Brighton in the league, in Brighton.


PS - I never did like those metal tennis racquets

I was born in 1963

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

It snowed a lot in 1963. And I think we beat Scotland 9-3.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

In fairness, if you were a rodent or small hole dweller,

Is small hole dweller an actual job ?

 

[Meade's Ball]

Is small hole dweller an actual job ?

It's more of a hobby than an occupation. A lifestyle choice, some would call it.

 

[Tony the Pony]

I was born in 1963

And so was I!

 

[stratford seagull]

And I saw my first Albion game - Watford (h) 1-4.

Relegation to Div 4 that season, but I was hooked (thanks Dad!!)

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Fatboy Slim was born in 1963! An important year for the Albion
