Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

[technolog]

Do you sing Tom? If so, can other people bear to be in the vicinity when you do?

Tom will probably say he can't sing, but he can belt out a decent tune.  He has, on occasion, grabbed the mic at DTD and provided an impromptu rendition of an Elvis number

Boshi is just trying to embarrass me because he knows how shy I am.

So is that a yes or a no? I mean DO you sing not can you sing well.

Hi Tom nice to see you yesterday. My wife showed me this video today of a comedian I've never heard of before and it made us both laugh.

Yes, I do sing, badly, and play guitar, badly, but I never let minor details like lack of ability hold me back.

Would it be wrong to hoover the boys?  They're shedding EVERYWHERE!!!

No. It wouldn't be wrong, although they might take a while to get used to the idea.

It also wouldn't remove very much loose hair. I know it seems to fall out in handfuls, but it is quite difficult to get all the loose stuff off.

The best hair removal tool I've found so far is a hacksaw blade. (Full size, not junior) Snap it in two for a more convenient size and use it like a comb.

Kizzy is one of the few breeds that don't shed hair, the downside being that she needs regular haircuts.

New project for Jack, cheers.

I've been using the wire dog brush and a comb on them, but they're still shedding mad.

Hi Tom
It was good to see you on the weekend, i have just had to put a report together to explain why we can't supply some types of produce on time to supermarkets and found this out about the weather in march and thought you might find it interesting. It illustrates just how severe this spell of weather has been for Central England. (CET  = Central England Temperature, which probably has a centre point around Leicester someplace, so representative of your part of the world really).

1. The coldest March with 1892 since 1883
2. The coldest March CET mean maximum on record. (Since 1878)
3. The coldest CET mean maximum for a spring month on record.
4. The joint 5th coldest CET mean minimum for March on record.
5. The 6th coldest CET month in the last 25 years
6. The 5th coldest CET mean minimum in the last 25 years.
7. The coldest second half to March with 1883 since 1853
8. The first time a March has been colder than average January and February in the same year since 1786
9. The first time a below average March has returned a CET colder than the previous winter that was also below average since 1962

no wonder we have a late spring.

Blimey Dai, I knew it was a cold one because of the size of the heating gas and bird seed bills.

That's what happens when you feed seeds to birds, the bills get huge.

"This photo from the 1870s shows a man proudly standing in front of a mountain of tens of thousands of bison skulls - an iconic American species that was systematically slaughtered by the millions as European Americans settled the west.

The US Army actively endorsed the wholesale slaughter of these animals for two main reasons: to remove any competition with cattle, and to starve Native American tribes who greatly depended on the bison for food. Without the bison, the resisting tribes of the Great Plains would either be forced to leave or die of starvation.

More than a century after this dark period in our history, the bison is making a comeback. After living on the brink of extinction, this American icon is slowly but steadily returning to the Great Plains - one baby bison at a time"

What's the difference between a Buffalo and a Bison?
