Captive Animal Protection Society CAPS We believe that all animals should be treated with respect and compassion. This is why we campaign for an end to the use of animals in circus performances. We believe that the use of animals in circus performances is not only damaging to the welfare of those individuals involved but that it also sends a damaging message to the general public, and particularly to children. By presenting animals as performers in the big top, it teaches children that animals can be manipulated for our amusement. It suggests that animals have no right to be treated as individuals who think and feel for themselves. It fails to recognise that animals have their own needs to be met, for their own purposes. Circuses often travel, meaning that animals are kept in rudimentary housing which cannot meet their most basic welfare needs. Housing for lions might be the back of a lorry. Elephants spend their nights shackled by their legs. Horses and zebra live in makeshift stalls in tents. Domesticated animals such as horses are forced to carry numerous people on their backs and perform ?dances? which puts dangerous pressure on their joints and ligaments, risking long-term health damage http://www.captiveanimals.org/our-work/circuses DulwichFox

Don't write summer off just yet. Back in Sept 2008 I won a Raffle in The Clock House. First prize was a rowing boat for 6 - 8 at Richmond. We went out on the 20th Sept. It was a scorcher in the mid 70's Sunshine all day. Stopped off at the White Swan Pub in Twickenham on the way out and the way back keeping the tide with us. DulwichFox

I keep all the 'Indian' restaurant Menus because on rare occasions I order a delivery. They are put through the door every so often. (Menu or Price change.) 2 - 3 Pizza Menus come through the door almost every other day. They go straight in the bin.. People can always pick up a Menu from their favourite outlet if they have regular deliveries. Foxy

Absolutely no need for performing animals these days. They may be well looked after, but animals have off days like we do, but are expected to perform day in day out. DulwichFox

How do you do that ? Put leaflets in individual envelopes ? Would cost a small fortune and a lot of effort. Apart from Leaflets from local businesses also... Surge in junk mail delivered by postmen since Royal Mail sell-off: 50,000 more flyers put through letterboxes EVERY DAY Almost 3.2billion items of 'unaddressed' junk mail were delivered last year Figures do not even include addressed leaflets that were also posted Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2996331/Surge-junk-mail-delivered-postmen-Royal-Mail-sell-50-000-flyers-letterboxes-DAY.html#ixzz4sBALA9CM DulwichFox

Took an old workmate who lives in Penge to Memsaab last Friday. We do not usually meet up but he was so impressed he texted me for a repeat curry at Memsaab tonight. Will be my 5th curry at Memsaab + 2 more at Jaflong Tandoori in last 12 days. Getting back to my old ways.. Foxy

I suppose that at a certain age our tolerance to NOISE decreases. One has to look on the positive side, that having reached that certain age after decades of listening to loud music ourselves, we still have some semblance of hearing intact. :) Foxy
