All this chicken talk reminds me of the old Five Nations in Paris during the 80′s and a bunch of French men chasing a cock er ill? around the field with baguettes while 22 grown men balled their way through a rousing local anthem….inspiring stuff…

@Big Fish,

Isn’t the chicken a Gallic symbol too?

Buy a vintage little BSA Bantam 175cc motorcycle. You’ll meet plenty of intelligent, interesting people most of whom will be able to keep you and your Bantam running all over either side of the road. Cross over to the other side.

Big Fish, based on that reasoning one could renounce elephants on the basis that they’re a symbol of the Republicans. Or eagles because the Nazis had a fetish for them. Ultimately, everything somewhere is used as a symbol for something unpleasant. Where does it end? I like chickens as chickens, and if Zanu-PF does too, so be it.

As for the cows, I also have a collection of them. And sheep. And pigs.

Why collecting wooden chicks on your desk?

Take two of those (of different gender!!) and you will have a garden full of chickens within two years.

A friend of mine has the same passion for cows. Wherever I go, I always buy her a cow and ….believe me…they come in many different shapes, sizes, forms and materials.

Really hate to put a damper on your fetish Sarah, but a chicken, or rather the cockerel, is the symbol of ZANU-PF in Zimbabwe, from where I spring and it doesn’t evoke any pleasant memos!

To make matters worse, now their soccer team think they will be a sitting duck at next years WC…
