"What is the difference between a raven, and a crow?"

Ravens have seventeen wing feathers with the end feather called a pinion. in contrast to crows having only sixteen wing feathers.

Therefore it is just a matter of a pinion.

That's very good, Jacksparrow - very erudite, one might say.

A Frenchman with a parrot on his shoulder walks into a bar. The barman says 'Wow. That's really lovely. Where did you get him?' 'In France.' replies the parrot. 'They've got millions of them'.

My Chinese neighbour said he's just opened a crows shop.
Speaking slowly, I said "you mean a *clothes* shop?"
He says, "No, a crows shop - come in and have a rook."

One for Peregrine. He can borrow it. Anything to try and raise the standard.

Before crowbars were invented, crows had to drink at home!

I have a sinking feeling that the above has set the tone for the remainder of the year

I'm trying to be kind to Peregrine. Don't want to set the bar too high for him,poor lad.

A friend of mine is throwing a combined Chinese New Year and Burns Night party.
He's calling it a Chinese-Burns night party.
I wasn't keen on going but he's twisted my arm.

I would like to thank my neighbour for the loan of a heavy duty waterproof sheet.
