Stags

Just in case I've never mentioned it in the forum rules, terms and conditions, FAQs etc. Wild About Britain isn't a dating site.

I've been so busy during the past couple of weeks that I've only been able to get on the site every now and then, but is it me or does there seem to be more wildlife on the site at the moment than there is out and about in the woods?

The females seem to be getting a bit too much interest from the males - who are flashing feathers, calling day and night, prancing about, grunting etc. And there also seems to be a bit of friction between some of the male species as well - with all the usual marking of territories, locking horns and so on.

I hope I'm wrong, but it just seems as though things might get a bit out of hand, so I thought I'd check. We've always been extremely lucky to have a cracking community with a great bunch of members and a good bit of banter, but I just want to make sure that things don't go too far.

Remember, there's only one silverback on Wild About Britain...and that's glsammy

Stu

Re: Stags

Blimey there’s female wimmin on this site!

(runs to change into clean shirt) (puts on the only pair of unholy socks)

(Says “Helloooo” in Leslie Phillips fashion)

(Remembers morbid fear of the female persuasion person)

(Feels totally embarrassed, sits quietly in corner, pretends to read, and hopes that no ones noticed him)

Oh no, just my luck, of all people to spot me, it had to be "Persephone", "Goddess of the underworld". otherwise known as "Queen of the dead".

“Of all the internet sites in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine".

I bet Brad pitt never has this problem?

Well...as a Goddess, she is everywhere, all of the time.

Can I offer you a pomegranate? Symbolises longevity, you know. How's that for irony.
