went to Woburn Safari Park yesterday. Roasting hot so wasn't pleasant in the car when we had to shut our windows. Got some decent shots of the animals there though.

Have this at my window every now and then. I named it Patrick

Spotted along the coast of Cornwall on Saturday... He is going to need a bigger Kayak!!

oh sorry ....... it was just i was discussing with those two i look up to you like what i posted in the other thread, as a teacher

That's Richard Witschge who Cruyff famously said he'd be one of the footballing greats. Unfortunately Witschge choked at Barça (not the first to do so) and didn't live up to the expectations that were generally believed to happen universally at the time. The same thing occurred with another Dutch player in Affelay.

Wasn´t it nudge, who suggested we should use our accent/dialect when we post in German on the old forums? I just did so. Translates to high German as: Du erhälst gleich eine Maulschelle, wenn Du die Frechheit anzudeuten wir seien Frankreich wiederholst.

Isch gänn dia gleich Fronkrich.

Currywurst!

It was actually at the Beijing Safari Park... The Mother and daughter had a row and the daughter got out of the car only to be attacked by a Siberian Tiger and dragged off, Her Mother tried to rescue her only to be mauled to death by a second Tiger while the daughter has been left disabled a result.. It happened in 2016

Fuck that!!! This one not so bad until you reach the Lion enclosure of course....

Yesterday, no. But most games I've seen this season he has been one of the better players. He is still inconsistent as you would imagine as he is still fairly young and inexperienced but he has the pace and skill to be a decent football league player. I'd love to see him back at Fylde next season whether they are League Two or National League, but not sure whether that will happen. However, I don't think he would be good enough to compete in the Championship right now.

It looks like a nice place mate, you should have gotten out of the car and gone for a walk around.

I saw this on news websites before. "A spine tingling photo of a terrifying animal" "A scene from jaws" Are they for real? It's a Basking shark and they eat Plankton. Speaking of animals. When I was fishing last week, I noticed a magpie swoop down and grab a baby sparrow before flying off towards a tree. I pointed it out to my mate as it happened, but he didn't see it, then as we looked into the tree to our left, the magpie was sat on the branch with the baby bird in its mouth. You don't see that everyday and especially not from magpies, even if they do often invade other bird's nests. It's what you expect from hawks and birds of prey in general, but not magpies. It's one of those moments where I wish I had been recording it on my phone.

Out of recent players Arda Turan has also found that out too. I so liked Arda and hoped he’d be a success because of his character which is brilliant.

Why not @SirBalon

@The Rebel CRS and @Paulo Dybala ... it's nice that in our forums we have people like you who's open minded and not childish like some of the Real and Barca fans in the internet. Your word SYMBIOTIC hits the nail on the head. These two clubs need each other, needs to punch each other in the head in order for each to strive more every season.

You Were Never Really Here 6.5 Joaquin Phoenix was excellent

I just finished episode 6. I have two questions: 1. Can we please use Dr. Smith as a dinner snack for those fuel-ingesting eels or those weird, moth-hunting, oversized salamanders? She's absolutely infuriating Once again, I must say that the actress is doing a fantastic job though 2. Please tell me the Robot is coming back and not as a tool for that nutcase I mentioned in question 1 Love the show so far, by the way.

Ah, France.

Proof positive that the relationship between the eternal rivals Barca and Real Madrid is a symbiotic one. One's success cannot exist without the other. One's success only spurs the other on. Just like Messi and Ronaldo could not possibly in the conversation for the Greatest Player of All Time if not for the other. I have the utmost respect for Real Madrid mixed in with a healthy bit of jealousy. Some of that jealousy is borne out of Madrid's success when it comes to excelling on the European stage. I personally would love it if Barca prioritized the Champions League over other competitions, the way a Real does. Just how well would Barca do in that scenario, I wonder. Would we see Barca on the verge of a third consecutive CL title too? It's a cultural thing. Madrid puts great emphasis on the European Cup/Champions League (as it's an indelible part of their legacy, which I do respect). Barca, less so. Look, it's no coincidence that Guardiola-led teams tend to do well in the domestic league, while not necessarily performing well in the Champions League. The reasons are detailed in the article above. The Champions League, by definition, crowns the Champions of Europe. I just think it's unfair to proclaim the Champions League winners Kings of Europe when they can't even perform consistently domestically. It's always a question of fairness with me. "Champions of Europe" when you can't even be Champions of Spain/England/Italy/France etc. to me just seems a trifle odd. The 1992, 2006, 2009, 2011, 2015 Barca teams that did win the European Cup/Champions League have all invariably been part of European Double/Treble winning teams. If we were to do a survey of the Greatest Club Seasons of All Time (this would make a good topic), each and every one of these Barca teams MUST be in the conversation. Spain having the best/toughest league of them all. A Chelsea winning the Champions League and FA Cup Double in 2012, or a Borussia Dortmund 1997 CL winner, while very noteworthy, would they be considered among the Greatest Club Seasons of All Time, objectively speaking? I'm not so sure.

Nothing beats a proper steak anyway though

Samosas are fine, like them myself.. There is an Indian family a couple of doors down from us and when they are cooking the aroma comes floating over the gardens.. It does smell nice and they gave us some samosas once, Rogan Josh is probably the other dish I like and I wouldn't mind trying the Butter Chicken at some point...

It's not my first choice either, but I like it from time to time. I absolutely love samosas though

We see it from both sides in truth mate. On one hand (some) Real fans are trying to discredit Barcelona's domestic double due to the fact they(Real) are still in the Champions league, while you have (some) Barcelona fans almost refusing to acknowledge Barcelona's success this season unless Real Madrid don't win the Champions League. It's very petty. It's actually healthy for Barcelona that Real Madrid are strong challengers and that they win trophies. Had Barcelona won everything over the last decade and Real absolutely nothing at all, then it would make Spanish football look weak to outsiders. It would look as though Barcelona's success has come due to the fact that Real have been going through an awful period and simply been taken advantage of. The fact they are causing all these problems makes it more of an achievement, more competitive. Let's not forget the Supercopa de España earlier in the year either. Pique said after the game that he's never known Real to be so far superior to Barcelona since his time at the club and within 9 months, Barcelona have just gone and dominated the Spanish league and won another Copa Del rey. It's a big achievement. The Champions league was embarrassing due to the manner, althou8gh not necessarily being eliminated itself as I didn't think Barcelona were going to go all the way this season anyway. Valverde needs more depth and a couple of players in, then I believe he can certainly go on and achieve another European cup. The loss of Iniesta will make that more difficult, although with the young Dembele and Coutinho almost being like new signings next season after a full pre-season, then I believe the team can evolve. Ter Stegen, Busquets, Alba, Messi and Suarez are all capable of making things happen and with the likes of Coutinho, Umtiti, Dembele and Semedo to complement them I see a very capable side there, with a perfect balance of experienced players and hungry, younger players.

I was going to reply with someone meaningful, but I got distracted.

Ihr habt bestimmt eine Aufmerksamkeitsspanne wie ein Goldfisch

Ok. Ich hab's auch nur überflogen.

proof that some people have very short memories when it comes to sports in general and football to be specific in this one. Madrid have won the double last year with the UCL and La Liga. I find it very immature when some fans try to discredit any achievement of a rival team.

watch this when you have some free time, Chris:

She is a far more sinister character compared to the original who was more of a frightened bumbler who put people in danger due to a complete lack of common sense.. This Smith is devious, manipulative and downright dangerous for all concerned.. The only thing the old and the new have in common is bloody self preservation.. You are right about her acting though.. You just want something really nasty to happen to her or get her alone in the cargo bay and smack her up a bit or send her on that weather balloon trip and accidentally forget to anchor it down properly so full credit there she is totally owning that... The other thing is the vast difference between the Robots old and new... The old Robot was part of the crew but this one has other origins.. Very menacing and with zero personality compared to the old and certainly not to be messed with but liking it all the same.. I want one!!! The other family members are interesting.. Not much difference for me between Penny & Judy, They seem to be almost the same personalities as the old so the fit is good, The parents are interesting with the mini power struggle going on between them and I think Don is an improvement over the old one as he has more of a maverick role as opposed to the more serious role of the original who hardly ever seemed to smile much or have anything remotely funny to say... Will seems a tad younger than the original but both seem to share the same type of loner in the group type character I would love to tell you more about the Robot, If there was even anything to tell but I wouldn't want to lumber you with any spoilers , If there were indeed any to be had.... Enjoy!!! We can catch up again once you have seen the last 4..
