I saw a couple of lesser spotted early "pleasure boaters" out on the Thames today. Quite a rare phenomenon in February. I did some research and apparently they like a bit of sunshine. If its not very sunny at this time of year they do not tend to venture far from their "houses". As with all animals they are predictable little beasties.

Just seen a butterfly flying down the cut, is that normal for mid February? apparently the mild weather has seen some come out early....suspect a sudden cold snap will see premature demise. There was frog spawn few weeks ago on the common We had frogs in the ponds when I was little. I remember the spawn and probably killed numerous frogs by handling the jelly like thing. The term "frogspawn" always gives me images of frogs playing with their phones and clicking "open incognito tab"

Just seen a butterfly flying down the cut, is that normal for mid February? This is an indicator of major climate change which leads rapidly to extinction of all existing animal species. And insects. Its not the end of the world.

Its not the end of the world. Blimey, all because of one little butterfly. Is that what they mean by the βbutterfly effectβ then?

There are clips on Youtube - type in 'pissing on electric fence'. I have touched electric fences and felt the zap through my fingers. Try 'Dallas Copper Bandits' to see what electricity will do to you. I won't put up any links as I know some here are of a sensitive nature.

In the interests of the TB scientific research unit, could you do a YouTube video to demonstrate this?

Teake a tip from someone who grew up on a farm, and don't piss on it while it's switched on π¦ May we ask how you arrived at this snippet of information. Phil Sure. There was an electric fence around our village football field to keep the cows off the pitch and as young lads (in the sixties) we used to play football there most nights after school. Being 'out of the way' it was not unusual to take a leak off the side of the pitch when natured called. Need I say more? One evening I was doing the necessary when my mate Jimmy Winter, at the other end of the pitch, turned on the fence for a laugh. Two lessons learned: 1. Don't piss on electric fences. 2. Never trust a bloody Grammar School kid. Message to Jimmy Winter if he ever comes across this post via a google name search at some later date: "You're a TWAT".
