Great tits like coconuts!

Great tits like coconuts!

As said on a BBC radio programme about feeding wild birds.

The BBC's switchboard nearly melted from callers who happened to switch on
just as the remark was made, switched off again in disgust and then phoned
in to complain!

And this ain't OT. You can recycle the empty halves of coconut to imitate
horses' hooves to confuse your neighbours.

But how would you get the coconuts? Do you think a swallow
would bring them? :-)

Yers. If it was an African swallow it could carry them by the husk!

Ni!

Depends on whether it's the African or European swallow, innit?

Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni!!!!!!

[none of the above]

ROGER THE SHRUBBER: Are you saying 'ni' to that old woman?
ARTHUR: Erm, yes.
ROGER: Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can 'ni' at will
to old ladies. There is a pestilence upon this land. Nothing is
sacred.
Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable
economic stress at this period in history.
ARTHUR: Did you say 'shrubberies'?
ROGER: Yes. Shrubberies are my trade. I am a shrubber. My name is Roger
the Shrubber. I arrange, design, and sell shrubberies.
BEDEVERE: Ni!
ARTHUR: No! No, no, no! No!

That's right. There's also a site with various sound clips including Ni.
Can't remember which one though.

Then you too can make the sound of horses' hooves by banging yourself
together instead of the coconuts! :o)
