No idea how it took someone an hour to post that

Stick with it.  It's not great quality so difficult to see what's happening but guessing it;s a couple of boats hunting, probably in Greenland moving along the side of a calving glacier, where a decent slice breaks off so obviously they move away from the collapsing ice to observe from a safer distance.

Had this happen near icebergs but nothing close to this scale.



e: from a Group !! grr

Sorry to hear that Pondy, but like you say, at least he died doing what he loved and it wasn't prolonged. My mates sister has brain cancer and they were told 5 weeks ago to go and see her to say goodbye as they didn't think she'd see Easter.

She's now lost her sight and completely bedridden at home, but still hanging on. Horrible situation.

Funeral was yesterday, still don't know what to say to him.

Heard a weird screeching sound coming from the garden last night so went out to investigate. Find a fox lying there in a bad way. Phoned the sspca and they say to stay with it until they get there. In the hour and a half it takes to get here the poor thing crokes it    

The sspca women then informs me that because they never put it to sleep and it was already dead when she got there she can't dispose of it.    

I now have a dead fox in my landfill bin

And were you wearing a kimono at the time?

Ironically I spotted a dead pigeon on the back green when I got home yesterday and was hoping a fox or the likes will dispose of it because I'm not fucking touching it, yet to see what has occurred overnight.

Was a wee fox milling about outside my gaffe the other night so I ended up giving it some chicken to eat.

Got home at the back of 10 last night and it had returned with it's two bairns

Almost beat him as well

Missed a red which would have left him needing snookers in the 4th frame…

Watching an old Ken Loach movie, and saw Stewart Copeland of the police did the music. Thought I'd check his wiki, turns out his mum was an archaeologist who was a British spy in the second world war, and his dad was a founding member of the CIA who toppled/had murdered various 'anti-american' governments.

[Björn Breaker]

I'm sure his dad has written a couple of books as well 2na

Mel Brooks is pretty bad for the 'old comic confuses not having been funny for 30yrs ago for being cancelled', but Cleese takes the prize for the sheer volume and publicity he gives to the idea that you can't say anything anymore.

Also, smiley please.
