Rabbits breed at an alarming rate, how are they all going to fit on this small island ?
My house is not far from the roundabout near Ennerdale/Sutton Rd and I often see rabbits on that island early in the moring, however I often see foxes crossing the roads as well.

Indeed, you townies have no idea.
The ickle wickle wabbits aren't going to spend the rest of their lives slumbering under trees eating Cadbury's Caramel.
How do you think they got from being a no native species introduced to the country by the Normans and kept in enclosed warrens by warreners to being every where in the flaming country?
Not by idly sitting arouind on round a bouts.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
A lot of ex-players (both FC & KR) at your place on Sunday for a meal and watch the game...TBF your club have always been good with the hospitality, when our team were young and did curtain raisers we were always sorted with enough tickets for family members ect and the lads were looked after, this is an area which could be improved at the KC!!

Honestly chief, are you serious about everything all the time? Even Denzil's got a sense of humour and he's a scientist.
I've just told you I've got my pants on the wrong way around and you think that's the daftest thing I've posted?

The real dilemma - did you Twist or Stick?
Had to stick, the toilets in my building are those stall type things that people can see over and under (yak) I'm not going in there and stripping off.

Off for a cigarette and a game of back gammon. Not sure which I'm more addicted to.

And this is the definitive answer as to why some rabbits will have to cross the road. At some point there will be no more room and they'll have to either make a dash for it or be pushed out "Penny Falls"-style.

Where as 'fount' came to the english language seperatly through the french word 'font' (Not in the biblical sense) which again comes from the latin word of 'fons' (Fountain). 'Fountain' in latin means 'source'. So if that is the case both would be correct.
Hmm. Think this may be right but not for the reasons we thought.
Was watching a program about ancient scribes the other night. It was illustrating what a difference the first printing presses made as it brought texts and learning to so many more people back in the time of the War of the Roses.
The complete typeface of letters was called a "font" or "fount" (slightly earlier than font). As these machines first brought knowledge to thousands who previously had no access to the written word I wonder whether this is actually the source of the saying "The font/fount of all knowledge"?
