'I do tu-whit tu-whoo'

Post by nightscope »

If anything could go horribly wrong this could.

"Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand and his fiancee Rebecca Ellison have arranged for a barn owl to swoop down the aisle and deliver their rings in a velvet pouch when they get married in August.

The best man will be wearing a falconer's glove for her to perch on during the ceremony at the aptly named Peckforton Castle in Cheshire.

Ollie has delivered rings for six couples. The castle's head falconer Mike Roberts said: "It's never gone wrong yet."(Daily Mirror)"

Yet. :P

The possibilites are endless. All it needs is a disgruntled Manchester City fan to release a mouse at the appropriate time.

Right. Apparently they also got an eagle called Elfie who greets the A-list as they file in. One bad hair day from Elfie...

Nice castle. It's only just down the road from me. Never heard of it. Bet I don't get an invite. I'm on the Z-list.

And to pay the insurance premiums in case the birds suddenly go into attack mode.

What is this XITE you speak of?

I heard of this box long ago, forged in the DSP mines deep under the mountains of the North. In a place called The Core. Some say it bestows great power on those who can harness it's energy. Legend tells that only those with a great and sincere patience can possess such a box.

As it....
