Naughty Naturalists Nabbed in Night-Vision Nasty –– A couple at a lakeland holiday park were caught naked on cameras meant to monitor the movements of badgers. The pair ventured into the snowy woods at the Oasis Village, near Penrith in Cumbria. Their romp was beamed into every hotel bedroom on a special channel trained on the badger set. The night-vision camera caught the couple in the early hours of the morning. The woman kept her bobble hat on, reports the News of the World. The pair stopped when they heard a sound and quickly put their clothes on before being chased by a security guard with a torch. The identity of the couple has not been revealed.

The New Green Fields Of Canada by derrymacash
(A parody of "The Green Fields of Canada", which means that in this thread to date I have parodied every song from "Cold Blow And The Rainy Night")

Farewell to the girls in their warm and woolly bobble-hats
Farewell to the girls of Cumbria all round
May their hearts be as merry as ever I would wish them
It's far, far away across the ocean I'm bound

Oh my wife she is mad, oh my wife she is ripping
To learn of my adventures it grieves her heart sore
Oh the tears in great drops down her cheeks they are rolling
And now she has banished me to a foreign shore

What matters to me whether I am married?
I had no inclination to be faithful to my wife
On the green fields of Canada they daily are blooming
It's there I'll put an end to my misery and strife

Then it's pack up your sea stores and tarry no longer
Since that cruel-hearted woman has driven you away
There'll be lots of pretty girls in pretty woollen headwear
To please a new arrival to Amerikay

The badgers go unwatched and the TV crews abandoned
The Oasis has closed down and the woods look all forlorn
Away across the ocean, good hardy country stallions
And those who shed their breeks in order to perform

But I mind the time when my love life it was flourishing
With girls in winter woollen hats, one and two and three
But since my wedded wife was appraised of my unfaithfulness
It's now she has driven me across the Western sea

And now to conclude and to finish my ditty
If a bobble-hatted damsel should ever pass my way
To a spot of rowdy-dow I will treat her, and welcome,
At home on the green fields of Amerikay
