Fed Up

Breathe....you're not in for a moany Monday postlet from me!


The phrase "fed up" originated in the world of falconry and refers to when the bird's crop was full and thus, it was listless and wouldn't fly for the falconer.

    Why do Falconers always have to dress-up as if they're taking part in a Robin Hood film?

      In this case it was a Medieval weekend so perhaps we can let him off this once but otherwise? Pass!
