I hate trains

A man recently flew from Newcastle to somewhere in Spain, had a nice bit of tapas and sangria then flew on to to London. The point of this exercise was to highlight the extortionate prices charged for rail fare in the uk, he managed to do the above for less than a train ticket from Newcastle to London.
So, anyone heading from Bristol way to Manchester on Friday, chips on the petrol obv.

Mallard was a locomotive not a train.
Please tell me you know the difference?
Whoops, completely slipped my mind that the headline may cause offence to a certain individual ;p
Click bait ftw
Haha, great analogy.
Thanks Craig, yes coaches are great value.
You sure?
Bloke does not even know the difference between a train & a locomotive.
Those of a nervous disposition should look away now, but.....
A male Mallard is perhaps the most "hungry" animal or bird on earth, & by hungry I don't mean food. Their sexual appetite is insatiable, & they will copulate with anything that moves, in fact anything that does NOT move, too.
Any female Mallard is "game" (pardon the pun), & groups of male Mallards will carry out gang r-ape (hyphen due to swear filter) of any passing female Mallard. They even do it do dead Mallards, they can't help themselves.
All of which is mildly interesting or amusing, but there's serious side to it, too. Mallards don't restrict their sexual activities to other Mallards, they will jump on ANY breed of dabbling duck. Now this is a serious problem. Mallards are present right across the globe (except, I think, Asia), & Wiki says this;
"....Mallards are causing severe "genetic pollution" to South Africa's biodiversity by breeding with endemic ducks[ even though the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds–an agreement to protect the local waterfowl populations–applies to the mallard as well as other ducks. The hybrids of mallards and the yellow-billed duck are fertile, capable of producing hybrid offspring. If this continues, only hybrids will occur and in the long term will result in the extinction of various indigenous waterfowl. The mallard duck can cross breed with 63 other species, posing a severe threat to indigenous waterfowl's genetic integrity. Mallards and their hybrids compete with indigenous birds for resources, including nest sites, roosting sites, and food...."
So what is happening, globally, is that numerous species of duck, (mainly dabbling ducks) are now "hybrid" and as a result, the pure species are in danger of extinction.
Isn't that fascinating?
