Post Something Interesting

It's Australia day down under.

Took doggy out this morning and 5 random people wished me happy Australia day..

I'm not really patriotic but I like it that people are proud of their country and happy.
I'm happy, the sun is shining and the birds are singing. It's a bit too hot today though, yesterday normal 27c (okay) today 32c, was 25c at 9am but now too hot.
27c tomorrow which I like.

He doesn't like 32 either..:)

who is currently self-publicising his claim to have nearly finished walking all the way round the world is, in my opinion, for 2 reasons, a charlatan...

1) walking from Chile to Hull via The Bering Strait is not round the world. okay it's a long way but surely you have to end up back where you started.

2) it has taken him 27 years because he only walks for 2 or 3 months then fucks off to mexico for 3 months.

He's not even tried to raise money doing it.

When he started out in 1998, he told his poor old mam, Angela, he'd be back in 14 years. She has been waiting at her gate since 2012

the bloke was in Hungary before he took his Xmas break back to Mexico until March, fucker couldn't have hopped on easyjet to see her for a few days, could he.

Ross and Norris would have told him to do one if he expected to be in the big book.
That's a proper big shop he's done there.

How do these kind of people finance their trips etc, clearly not from his mums benevolence...
 
Got a spare six days to listen to this ?

and all with no Blackmoresque guitar solo...amazing.
 
A friend of my father was a Grand Prix racer for Ferrari and Vanwall in the late 50's, early 60's, and won some races.

He retired when the woman he loved said she would only marry him if he gave up racing.
 
You are meant to nurture a bonsai tree over many years.
Cutting a bit off your hedge, sticking it in some compost and putting mints round it isn't the same.


Just sayin'

:-)
I was tempted to start a bonsai thread, but it's obvious that sadly I won't be taken seriously..
That's a Japanese Jade tree btw.
 
The dog looks dubious.
But joking apart, do you really think that tree will ever make an informal upright? It won't.
The branch structure is all wrong, there's no trunk taper, there's no ramification.
That tree needs growing on to achieve some sort of material to work with.
Or I'd suggest using a different material for your first attempt at styling.
