Reptiles and other exotic animals. I've always loved nature, and snakes have always been one of my favourite animals. But since the arrival of my son, who managed to convince his (new) mother to allow him getting one snake, both my wife and I have been pulled into this wonderful world. My wife was s...

It was a cyber attack signaling the start of WWIII, according to two fine upstanding members of the Internet https://twitter.com/RealAlexJones/status/1772612314090320074?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1772612314090320074%7Ctwgr%5E9b46810a4a0e45ae0fc18cad4088a3bfb5d9f1cd%7Ctwco...

People who came out of that alive need to thank their guardian angels.

I was obviously being facetious. But then again, he was fucking around with other people's money. People do not seem to like that, especially if we're talking billions. So suicide it is. Just not sure whether it was by hanging, or 20 bullet wounds in the back. I'm glad the piece of shit got what wa...

Are you suggesting Trump is to blame, given his well-documented and proven ties with Russia?

Markus Jooste unalived himself. :clap: Or did he? Read somewhere he received almost a 1/2 Billion fine and was facing criminal charges. So my guess would be yes. I was obviously being facetious.

The 'legal implications' makes me think C3 is much worse than announced and a regency or even abdication maybe in the offing. An abdication with Will taking over can only be a good thing for the Monarchy imo. The "Where's Kate" game is definitely a huge improvement over "Where's Wald...

Same thing happened in the Rittenhouse trial.

One of the prosecuting attorneys picked up the rifle, put it against his shoulder and aimed it at the jury. He even had his finger on the trigger.

I guess on one hand, the irony of seeing platforms set up to profit from your personal data habits being farmed like this is amusing, but this surely constitutes a serious threat. How does it play out? Does this lead to a sort of migration away from the internet or just your average, run of the mil...

Pavarotti should qualify and Patti Smith If you want to talk about classical music the only true standouts, who are head and shoulders above everyone else, are Bach, Mozart and Beethoven. Anyone else you mention is significantly behind those three. I'll die on this hill. Vivaldi surely. Johann Stra...

Some females:

Ann Wilson
Joan Jett
Stevie Nicks

Opposite genre:
Dolly Parton

New kid on the block whose name should be on lists like these in 10+ years from now:

If So:
David Hasslehoff

Which genre is he the figure head of?

Shitty music? If so, Bieber might want a word with you.

The Marmite of the music industry, you either love them or hate them, but their influence and musicality cannot be denied. ABBA I would be of the later persuasion but you're right. You know the saying..... There are only two types of people: those who love ABBA. And those who pretend they don't lik...

Freddie Mercury

I've never understood this whole anal bleaching thing, but hey to each their own I always say.

Is anyone genuinely surprised that we can now add sexual assault to the list? Not at all. But it's the severity, as discussed by the lawyer I linked to in the OP, that I wasn't expecting. The stuff he did to that girl is beyond believe; it's the depravity I wouldn't even think most psychopaths are ...

There’s a whole ton of shit catching up with McMahon now. Alleged rape of a female ref, teenage boys being abused by senior staff, human trafficking. And he’s no longer majority owner, so now he’s out, he’s out. It seems just about the whole organisation was in on it. There's also allegations of VM...

Agree 100%.

You probably have no idea just how much I hate you right now. Especially with the Leopard. I've been living in this country for 52 years and spent an enormous amount of time in game parks, and not 1 photo of a leopard. I've never had even one opportunity, not even with a 600mm f/4 lens and 2x conve...

He seems to be in a tiny spot of bother. A lawyer I follow on YT, gives quite good analysis of court cases and lawery stuff: https://youtu.be/Vsvee4j9SUQ?si=8A5m_ZCvmk520FTD VM somehow hasn't been charged criminally (yet?), but his civil case by the victim reveals some sick shit, and his victim brou...

Went to Elephant Plains in Sabi Sands last week ..... horrendous flight issues from UK, but when were in South Africa, nothing was impossible. All companies/people did everything they could for us. Tremendous customer service. Anyway ... blue eyed leopard https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5323583...

I'm not exactly a fan of war to be honest, and never learned how to use weapons. I'll therefore be useless in any army, unless they want to use me as a human shield (that is not an offer to be one). Simply put me in some huge underground shelter with enough supplies to last me the duration of the wa...

I have newfound respect for you.

Did you guys in the old age homes listen to her music at the time, or did you think it was music for younger, happier audiences?

PS. Her version of Ruby Tuesday will probably still be listened to a hundred years from now.,.....by Keith Richards

Ah hell no. One of my favourite singers from her era. Too bad the majority of people only knows her because of "Brand new key" (still a good catchy song with misunderstood lyrics). As great as her version of Ruby Tuesday is, her cover of "Mr Tambourine man" is not only her best s...

Whole lotta love.

Not sure if Yeeb was trolling, but yeah I like Immigrant Song.

Okay and I'll bite....Stairway....when I'm in the mood for it.

Definitely going into my wank bank though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8XmoroZ3zo Not even CLOSE. She's 1/2 of Ms. Hoff's age, and has 1/1000000000000000000000th her beauty.

...exploited to the detriment of the band, imho. Hardly a unique case, of course... Indeed. I'd say a very good number of female bands (and even male bands) broke up for that reason only. Maybe indirectly, but it was pretty much why the Ronettes for example failed. In this case Phil Spector basical...

Life was plain and simple for my wife and I: just her, me and 1 dog. Then we adopted our son, 14 years old and big into exotic pets. Within 3 years we now have: 4 dogs (admittedly 1 is my mother-in-law's who is now staying with us - the MIIL and her dog) 2 Ball Pythons. This quantity will increase ...

...MTV turned Hoffs into a bankable "sex symbol"... Didn't need MTV to do that. She's a natural sex symbol who cost my poor mother a lot of possible grandchildren. Forgot to add: the video I posted was shot last year - aged 62. Name any other 60+ year old that could match her, especially ...

Dang, that must be a mammoth food bill. The exotics are extremely cheap to feed. The Ball Pythons are young adults so 1 small mouse each. The Sand Boa is still a baby so one pinky per week. The rest are small meals of worms, crickets, fruits and veggies. I would estimate it's more expensive to feed...

Very much a geek here as I am on Linux for over 20 years. I don't trust software companies to do things for me reliably. (I worked/work for them).

Happy birthday Slick.

Clearly a Valentine's Day baby.

If only your mom and dad waited a bit longer, you would've been a decent human...aka Capricorn.

The noises you make getting out of bed in the morning are exactly the same as the ones you made during sexy times on honeymoon 25 years ago.
