my life as a artist
tits and balls
Friday 24th April 2009 7:10 PM
Feed the birds, £1.50 a bag, £1.50, £1.50, £1.50 a bag. Dangling fat balls (less sniggering at the back, please) cost 28p each on Broadway, and because the lights are bright, you can see why birds think they're magic in the air. They look a lot like an energy ball, but in place of the organic dark tahini they use condemned rancid pig fat instead, and to be fair there's probably more linseed in them than you'd normally get in your average hippy snack. They come attractively packaged in an easy-dangle, small, green, nylon mesh bag and I hang them off my new-fangled, home-made fat-ball dangler next to the bird table.
The reason I imperil my already shaky vegetarian principles, and pay 28p for the privilege, is because I want to see a wider variety of birds visiting the garden, and indeed, since my investment, my tit-bored table is often brightened by the cheery breast of a fiery robin or the dark under-stated beauty of a bead-eyed blackbird.
I've always thought that the deal was that I put out food for them and they hang around long enough for me to appreciate their outrageous, iridescent beauty, but today I put out a fat-ball and ten minutes later the whole thing had completely disappeared, along with the small, green, easy-dangle nylon mesh bag, and what's more, I didn't see a thing.
I don't mind spending 28p on seeing a fabulous bird of prey swoop off with a little plastic shopping bag, but for it to do it when I'm not there is, in my lightly-held opinion, the height of rudeness. Most birds, in my experience, are capable of being perfectly civilised and only choose to be wild when it suits them.
There are a couple of suspects but obviously I have no proof. There's been a psychedelic pheasant foraging for bird-table over-spill but it looks too ungainly for a controlled fat-ball snatch. A much more likely candidate is a sinister large black bird that I saw earlier trying to take off from the field with a stray golf-ball in its beak. I'm not sure what sort of bird it is, but according to my book it's either a crow, a jackdaw or Death, but whatever it is, it's already shown a callous disregard for other peoples property. I've taken a photo of it and sent it to the R.S.P.B. with an explanatory note and I'm hoping they might refund me the price of a fat-ball or at least offer some sort of apology. After all, good manners cost nothing, whereas fat-balls cost 28p.

Almost all of whatever you say happens to be astonishingly accurate and that makes me ponder the reason why I hadn't looked at this in this light before. This particular article really did switch the light on for me personally as far as this particular issue goes. Nonetheless at this time there is actually one factor I am not necessarily too cozy with and while I make an effort to reconcile that with the core idea of the position, allow me observe exactly what the rest of your subscribers

Howdy, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam responses? If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it's driving me mad so any support is very much appreciated.

Howdy! Quick question that's entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My website looks weird when browsing from my iphone 4. I'm trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix this issue. If you have any suggestions, please share. Many thanks!

Hi there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no backup. Do you have any methods to protect against hackers?

With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My website has a lot of unique content I've either created myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any methods to help protect against content from being ripped off? I'd certainly appreciate it.

The heart of your writing whilst sounding agreeable initially, did not work properly with me after some time. Someplace throughout the sentences you actually were able to make me a believer unfortunately only for a short while. I nevertheless have got a problem with your jumps in logic and you might do well to help fill in those gaps. When you actually can accomplish that, I could certainly be fascinated.

Whats up this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

Along with every little thing which seems to be developing inside this specific subject material, many of your opinions are actually fairly exciting. Having said that, I am sorry, because I can not give credence to your entire strategy, all be it stimulating none the less. It appears to us that your commentary are generally not totally rationalized and in fact you are yourself not even totally certain of the argument. In any event I did take pleasure in reading through it.

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the page layout of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
