Never mind this; as a group of friends we once debated at length who would win a fight between a squirrel and a rabbit. 

A few months later my friend actually witnessed one. He felt the rabbit came out on top as ultimately the squirrel made its getaway. 

 

Squirrels are hard as fuck, when push comes to shove. Our old cat was, at one point, queen of the manor. Then she got in to a fight with a squirrel, and she was mauled, man. And I mean mauled. I know for a fact that squirrels do not follow the Queensberry rules. That's the grey squirrels, you understand. The red squirrel, I find, is eloquent, and full of charm. Definitely not a fighter. More of a coward -  much like myself.

Hello campers and stampers. Jeff the campsite Badger here. Thanks to all who have taken an interest. As I start to arrange next years Wormery for site I reflect on various comments. We are indeed the mighty British Badger. We sorted the pesky Baboons at Glasto 1999 when Big Trev Badger spiked the bananas and jelly. Since then my role as Badger Glasto Site Boss has grown. Pesky weasels are my main festival concern. The 50th anniversary will see a major effort from 'Well-Ard' Weasel and his cronies. 

 

As time marches on and my stripes grow grey, I embolden myself and fellow 'Stripeys' by conjuring weirdness and such like. The Pyramid SET will rule supreme. All attempts by 'pesky Weasels' to cause festival jiggery pokery will fail. 

 

Let the Two camps stand now. Are you 'BADGER'..cool, stripey, sharp teeth, cider bus 9 pints no bother...

 

or are you...'PESKY WEASEL'. Creepy snouty, squeaky, little buggers....running around squaking under tents and bloody being PESKY!. Grrr!

what type of badger?

 

 

your common UK badger or the much feared Honey Badger ? 

 

also is it a fight to the death?

is it one badger on one weasel (hardly fair given the size of your common weasel ), maybe it should be 1 badger v 15 weasels .

 

until I know the answers to my questions I cannot vote either way, I need to be fully informed

Hello from 'JEFF' Chief Campsite Supervisor of all things Badger. On arrival at site we will be occupying our year 2000 camping zone. The Badger Zone Crew will erect the marquees and dig the burrows as usual. Opposite the Pyramid Stage next to Lock up. B&W tape will be in evidence. NOTE: Orange is Banned as Pesky Weasel shades are SILLY.

Sorry Jeff. We're Camp Badger. Have been every year since 2007. More than happy to have you join us, but you will defer to higher command, over.

I've read with interest but I'm failing to pick a side. You can't resist the cheeky little character of the weasel. You get eye contact with them and instantly see the glint in their eye. Admittedly their mates are killing everything in your garden whilst you're lost in this moment.

But badgers have faults too. Twisted ankle whilst strolling through woods once. You may think I should of noticed the entrance to the sett. But what if it was a trap deliberately put in place to catch me unawares. I can not say for sure.

To summarise I'm gonna stay sitting on the fence a while longer and let the debate continue. A floating voter for the moment.

Footnote. 

If you want to give badgers an advantage teach them the highway code, fucking carnage out here. ?

been wearing my "bring it" badger t for ages, one year a local said "you like badgers do you?"
Not wanting to be confrontational, I said "what's happened?"
him: Badger killed my dog
me: crikey, that's awful, how did that happen?
him: we sent it down to flush the badger out and that was that - 'kin 'orrible badgers

me secretly: poor dog, and wattaw*nka
me to him: that's awful, that's why I never use them to wipe my arse

It's the same thing where I live. The roads are completely strewn with their dead bodies.

 

You sir get an upvote just for Withnail & I. And may I suggest you treat yourself to a glass of the finest wine known to humanity, and a Camberwell Carrot. ?

No murdering of chickens though. (Even if they try to befriend you ?). Been enough threats of animal violence and certainly more than enough deaths already?

I've indulged with more Camberwell Carrots tonight than makes any sense. My neighbour just kept producing them all evening from about 4pm until about 7pm. Then we went to the pub for a couple of real ales. When these landed on top of what I'd already drunk, then you get where I'm at, right now. Would love to be able to communicate properly, but can't. Thank goodness for Tony Blackburn on Radio 2. I shit you not!

Hail and Happy Sniffly Snout Day. Today is National Badger Sniffly Snout Day. This celebration each year, is held to hone our snouts and scream and shout. Pesky Silly Smelly Pimply ...weasels also have a so called 'DAY' today....(I should coco...)....Its called 'Wang yer Wallop'...

 

Anyway...enjoy the Biryani grubs/ sun dried caterpillars and Southern fried ( in a Kentucky Box)..( Not polystyrene/no Toys)...Worms.

 

2020 will see the first Erection. Our 5G mast is going up...near the bloke who sells balloons in greenfields. Message ends....Beware the pesky Weasely Weasels. 

 

Addendum..: How come there is 'NO' Weasel Leader. ( Still sneaking under local chemist )?????rrrr!

If you're looking for a leader of the opposition who'll be completely useless and impotent in all they do. Thus strengthening your own position. May i suggest Jeremy.  Going by latest poll he could soon be available. Just a thought. ?

That's presuming they'll have him as I'm sure weasels have some standards. ?

    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
