I have a vague recollection of Barnes Wallis doing some work on this donkey's years ago. How come nothing has been seriously developed in all that time?
I think the point that BBW was trying to make is that if you care about animals, you want to minimise their suffering in the most humane way possible - that's not the time to be sentimental, it's time to act.
Well done, BBW - completely the right thing to do. In the case of the fox and in lieu of a rifle, a swift club to the head might have been the less distressing option for it.
Damn, missed it. Like a bit of (non-worm infested) mud. Bute has quite interesting side effects for horses & humans. See how much more fun it is with live animals - drilling holes in boats doesn't come anywhere near it.
I have documented before how I hate worms. I watched the Darwin programme yesterday - I was curious after Keef's reference. Thanks for the warning Keef.
Wow. What a yacht race. Well done chaps. Edited just to say how funny to hear Ben Ainsley (sp?) swear in the heat of the moment. Bet that will be edited out.
But are all circles endless? Or do they have a beginning? I think you'll find that circles in the southern hemisphere are superior to those from the north.
