Training Ground - Work Delayed

[Papa Lazarou]

Newts don't breed in December do they?

That has been established, yes. Seemingly the person who told me was talking bollox.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

The newts aren't breeding they are in hibernation so can't safely be removed from the site. It's breaking the law to deliberately harm them.

 

[Norman Potting]

Is there a special breed of newt eating bat?

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Apparently, a SOURCE has informed me that their breeding plans can be interrupted by surgical intervention. If this course of action is swiftly undertaken, they will be permanently Newtered.

You should have lizard to what Skipper734 said. (Sorry, best reptile-based pun I could think of)

 

[Doc Lynam]

I thought we were at war with the newts!

How much disturbance did they undergo whilst the tree huggers were digging around to find them eh?..... or did they mysteriously appear (from another location) .... aided by one of the helpful nay sayers in the protest group.... Makes you wonder.

This has to be a wind up

Apparently they started work at 9:00 this morning. At 9:30 a bulldozer accidentally ran over the newt nest and squashed them all. "Ah well," said Barber (coz he was driving the bulldozer), "Time for the weather forecast as its half past nine and that's the end of the newts."

 

[KNC]

More likely because of the utter mess of 'drainage work' on the A27. This has been extended to March.

 

[Taybha]

How many newts do they put in those bombs ? i mean they must be highly explosive so its no wonder work has stopped .

 

[cyber seagull]

I used to have a pet newt called tiny. He was my newt.

Exactly this.

We have the same problem on our site that because the work wasn't got on with earlier, the newts have now all gone to sleep and we're not allowed to disturb them! Have to wait until after the breeding season, as far as I can make out (though the environmentalist was saying "wait 'till next winter", which made no sense to me!).

We'll just have to do it accidently then

I thank you.

You should post more often!

Depends on the weather but its usually march but could be later dependent on when it starts getting warm. Notters would know for sure.

Definitely Feb/March mating pattern. Pissed as a newt
Possibly to do with the Victorian professional mourners known as newts, who had to take a drink at each funeral to be polite.

Oh ok, so perhaps the story is true, just a little garbled... cider eh?

 

[The Birdman]

well i can only think that after a few funerals they would start to walk like a newt , i cant say i have ever seen a newt walk in the flesh but heres a clip which may explain the newt theory
