Cuckoo Competition!

[blacktimberwolf]

I didn't say he was deaf as a post - he's just 80-odd.................not sure why you'd be confused, when he hears the bird the closest guess wins, pretty straightforward, eh? atb mac

So he hasn't heard one yet then ?...................prehaps he needs new batteries in his hearing aid.

Oh dear, Biker, your particular bird has flown! Sorry mate, but you're out of the running; but thankyou very much for the support and the fun.........atb mac

 

[Shewie]

 

[Macaroon]

Just thinking about this..............bit of a wash-out, there've been no Cuckoos heard up here yet; Marcus says from his diary that this is the latest year since 1987................doesn't help much, though.............

The way things stand at the moment, munkiboi187 could win it if the bird shows tomorrow; anytime after that, regardless of when, Neils must be the winner, as he will always be the closest.............

Any thoughts?

 

[Biker]

Any thoughts?

Biker - June 6th PM



Seriously. Yeah, go for whoever was the closest. Thanks for doing this.

 

[Macaroon]

Thanks Biker - I think it was a good idea, or would have been in a more normal year - but it sort of fizzled................Still, nothing ventured an' all that..............atb mac

 

[Biker]

It may say Spring on the calendar but it feels like autumn once you step outside. Maybe the cuckoos didn't get the memo?

Yeah, it was a great idea for a comp, very original.

 

[Broomstickize]

Keep going.

I may have put my bid in and lost but that just means more others now have a chance.

 

[jandude]

I agree with Broomstickize. Maybe a few more people will enter.

And 10/10 to you for organising the comp, too. A lovely idea that certainly entertained me. Thank you.

 

[Macaroon]

Sorry,I've got 'round to this a bit late - let's leave it a bit longer, see if anyone else is interested in having a go.............and I can't see why those who entered before shouldn't have another shot, eh?....atb mac

 

[crosslandkelly]

Has your neighbour not heard one yet?

 

[Macaroon]

No, he hasn't, no-one up this end has............I heard one Mayday morning about 2 miles away, then another on 20th May, funnily enough in Cuckoo Wood, near Cleddon Falls. It's been bitterly cold up here, we're the highest hamlet for miles but they're usually here by now..........................otherwise, if there's no further interest, Neils gets the knife by default as he must always be the nearest now.............atb mac

 

[crosslandkelly]

Good on him mac, Just for fun I'll say 8th June AM.
Atb Colin.

 

[Macaroon]

Just for fun is exactly right - that's what it's all about!................atb mac

 

[Goatboy]
