As I am typing this.
Normally thats a good omen on a match day.

Is there a dead wolf inside as well? Or a Bull on a tight tether?

 

[AlgarFox]

Not Slimani is it?

Several dead Portuguese Men O' War found nearby. And I live nowhere near the sea. Gotta mean something.

 

[Sohofox]

I told you it was a good omen.

Cover that roof in dog meat for the next thirty games

2 problems with that, Channy.
I haven't got a dog.
And its not my shed.

Cat? Long Ladder?

My next door neighbours are Burmese.
The family were the equivalent of Dukes and Earls in the Shan States. The family owned silver mines.
They had to flee after a military coup in the early 1950s.
The old boy used to go back to try to persuade the Princes of the Shan States to give up arguing amongst themselves and present a unified front against the Generals.
He failed. So he gave up and became a distinguished doctor over here.
Not sure he would take too kindly to me crawling along a ladder to spread tins of cat or dog food on his shed roof.

As it happens they are very down to earth smashing people.
I only learnt all this history about them when I was invited to the funeral of the old dear. This all came out when the Bhuddist monk in charge of proceedings gave a speech.

Bhuddists are vegetarian so they probably wouldn’t nick the dog food
