I saw an owl early in Brown Edge. I think it’s the first time I’ve ever actually seen one in the wild.

Why do they hang out in barns? There are other outbuildings? What were Barn Owls called prior to the invention of the barn?

Non Stoke related what would your specialist subject be ? I think I’d be Doctor Who the early years or the Retendon Murders It was a question I always fascinated with as a kid ... If the contestants answering the questions were specialists in that particular subject, then how did the people who were actually setting the questions, in order to give all the contestants a level playing field, ascertain just how difficult the questions were that they were setting on each particular topic, if they weren't actually specialists in each specific field themselves? As a kid most of us would be out playing football, cricket, riding our bikes, going train spotting and other kids stuff. Never thought of questioning the whys and wherefores of mastermind specialist subjects.

At present, I get far more joy out of WWE than I do out of anything else on tv, and at the end of the day, isn’t that the whole point of watching it?

What were Barn Owls called prior to the invention of the barn? Barns were invented before Barn Owls were first seen. I'd wager that the owl existed before the outbuilding though. Where the fuck were they before barns started shooting up everywhere though? Were they just a listless, nondescript avian cohort for millennia and the advent of the barn was the catalyst they'd been waiting for to really make their mark on the world? If they were as wise as everyone fucking says they are then why didn't they just appropriate something that already existed? Could have been living it up for aeons as 'Cave Owls' had they had a bit of foresight. Swivel-headed idiots.

Perhaps they were just waiting for the barn to be invented and went a bit unnoticed until then. One day they saw Keith hammering away and thought...the very place for us

They basically came to the country as owls on small dinghy’s and eventually took over all the barns/Britannia hotels in the most impoverished parts of the U.K.
