Re: Adopt a Gamekeeper

I've got one - on the estate where our workshop is in the wiltshire downs - hes the fairly common variant keeperus quadbikus easily identified by their cenataur like appearance with a red metallic lower body and wheels instead of lower limbs.

It is a benighn symbiotic relationship where he keeps us supplied with venison, pheasant and the occasional hare in return for errudite conversation , and reassurance that not everyone in the conservation movement regards keepers as a pest species best exterminated
