Pigeon has won a long standing bet today and I just can't Adam it. Unbeaten at the end of the day, having wrapped up the precious half ton and swiping his first ever zac to boot, he stands to collect at last on a wager made over ten years ago.

Afghanistan is never going to hear the end of this .

The way Heals was discussing it, I gathered Junior was the one going to collect. LOL how they all were off somewhere at the beginning but were all there later to watch. And at Gilly's reenactment of Pidge's pull shot

It's really simple.

The lords insisted on bagging first use of the potty after fox hunting but the commons disagreed, so have banned fox hunting altogether.

...with three t's...

Yeah, that's an incomprehensible message...heck, I consider myself fairly well-versed in the english language, but those guys just didn't try to be understood.

Long story short, I think it means "no foxhunting."

The story is Common's says "Fox Hunting banned". Lord's say "Oh no you don't, ye torags". Then Common's Speaker (Big Wig) says "Oh Yes We Do" (with capitalisation. And the Lords say "We want three years to be able to stop" and Common's answer is "Three months or you get arrested".

So in three month anyone out fox hunting can get fined and locked up. Serves them right.
