A user recounts an incident while taking a shortcut through the woods during pheasant shooting season, where they were confronted by two men on quad bikes who accused them of trespassing. After a brief exchange, the user left the encounter unharmed but later discovered their camera was broken after an 8-mile walk. The camera, a new Kodak model, initially worked but failed to focus afterward. Other users offered sympathy and advice on potential repairs, suggesting it might be cheaper to buy a new camera than to fix it. The conversation also touched on the fragility of modern cameras and included humorous remarks about the user's writing style and the peculiarities of UK law regarding trespassing. Additionally, there was a light-hearted discussion about pheasants and the legality of poaching, highlighting the user's observation of the birds during their walk.

And that's when he becomes another pheasant season fatality. :frown:
At least as an epitaph on his tombstone he can say 'I had right of way' :smile:

I did some law in college years ago in the UK and I always found the oddities of English law to be the most interesting and thus memorable bits. We had one barrister who was a little wacky and spent a pleasant couple of hours one day telling us the loopholes in the UK drink driving laws; that was pretty interesting too especially for a bunch of 20 year olds :blushing: Unfortunately the contract law I was actually supposed to be learning was pretty dull :rolleyes:

I think pheasants are colourful feathery things.
I actually looked up pheasant eggs online. They are quite costly. :bugeye:

Poaching now is a different kettle of fish especially at night as under an 1828 law you can still be sentenced to 7 years transportation to an overseas penal colony, believe it or not. Hope you like Australia :eek:
