      @Giles:

      We have a road in Gosport called anker lane, the council just can't keep up with the regular nocturnal updates…. 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

      I have a student this year named Anker. It is an extreme test of my resolve and testament to depths of will power that I didn't know I had, that I have not made any of the obvious puns yet. It isn't like he doesn't deserve it either.

        @goosehd i’m good with most of that but «git» can be quite nasty when used with intent.

          It is fascinating how the language is used differently around the world.  I also did not realize that there is a hierarchy to the insults used in the UK.

            Something of a contrast to Gosport….

            As the fam were getting ready to leave the house this morning we sent the boys out into the veranda to run about as we got our Wesco’s on. As we were taking a while I stuck my head out to check on them. Just as well I did as in that moment I saw something potentially dangerous but also very beautiful and a bit mental.

            First came mummy...

            Followed by child number one…

            Then child number two

            Then they stopped 10 meters away from us for a spot of breakfast:

                    Wow impressive animals…

                    potentially dangerous

                    do they attack people?

                    We only have roe deer in our backyard… very shy but they love our roses

                    Ellie is interested

                          I see… their sheer size alone makes them dangerous. But I thought they would flee like deer when humans appear. My father worked in the automotive industry and was many times in northern parts of sweden where the winter testing grounds are... he was always adviced to drive very carefully up there not to have an accident with a moose.

                            Up in the Great White North, if you hit a moose with your car, your car is done and you will sustain some injuries, but the moose will likely walk away fine.

                                      They can be quite surly.
                                      Difficult to see on the road they're so tall that the legs are at eye level and you get 1200lbs. of moose in the face.  ???

                                      Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                                      Well, I have others.

                                        Moose crashes are a serious problem. On our 2000km round trip through Norway this summer I saw three elk in stretches of road that are windy and have a 80-90km/h speed limit. Luckily didn’t meet one on a bend. However we did come upon a elk that had been clipped by a car and had to wait in a queue for an hour while a vet came out to put it down and remove it.

                                        As for their attitudes to humans the males just walk around like they own the place and don’t give a fekk. Mothers with their calves are the problem though, which was why this morning was tricky. Some of my idiot neighbours came out of their houses to take pics and boxed them in. The mother got super stressed and charged a woman but broke it off when the woman legged it.
