Here's my Christmas present in action - Beaky, my Buff Sussex cock. He dances like a madman...

Beaky dances

Just a bit of fun...

You do live in Henfield, don't you?

You are of course inviting lots of fowl jokes.

Yes - jokes about cocks will probably be made.

and what is the fine music that Beaky is dancing to?

I put it together myself from some Garageband loops - Nordic keyed fiddle, shaker, bass and tabla...

Glad to see that this is a free-range chicken, not battery-operated.

Yes - though he wasn't best pleased when I stuck a rod up his bum so he could tread the boards.

Is this the origin of the practice known as Rod Stradling?

Having missed this thread, my meeting with Beaky last night came as a complete surprise. I really wasn't expecting Will to start playing with his cock in the middle of a session.

Well, owd cock-a-lorum, sometimes we have to do what comes naturally. Just be thankful I was dancing Buff Sussex cock, and not a Sussex cock in the buff...

If you ever get weary of Beaky, I suggest plenty of parsley & thyme in place of the rod and about three months at 140 degrees Centigrade. (But don't tell him I said that as I don't want to hurt his feelings.)

Hush your mouth! 2010 is the year of Being Kind To Cocks.

Actually, Chris Harvey, the maker of Beaky, has a "Hairy Gentleman" in his repertoire - you know, the one in the Beatrix Potter book - and I'm very tempted to acquire him as well. Just to put Beaky on his mettle, you understand.

Yes..... I should reprimand anyone being so unfeeling as to use a shaky egg in Beaky's presence. Or any musician's presence, for the matter of that.

Mmm... yes, well, we had one of those on Sunday night, did we not?
