"We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like 'I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive . . .' And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas. And a voice was screaming, 'Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?'"

The Vegas trip is end of May. But to answer that (and in order): a blue spotted sting ray, a bright green frog fish, shoals of long thin cornetfish and a 2m long manta ray. Like Hunter, it blew my mind. But back to the subject of Snow watch....will Peter Snow be dusted off for the next election with a newly enhanced swingometer?

Have you been lickin' toads ?



THEM TOAD SUCKERS


How 'bout them toad suckers, ain't they clods?

Sittin' there suckin' them green toady-frogs.


Suckin' them hop-toads, suckin' them chunkers,

Suckin' them leapy-types, suckin' them plunkers.


Look at them toad suckers, ain't they snappy?

Suckin' them bog-frogs sure makes 'em happy.


Them hugger-mugger toad suckers, way down south,

Stickin' them sucky-toads in they mouth.


How to be a toad sucker? No way to duck it.

Gittchyseff a toad, rear back and suck it!


-- Mason Williams 1964 --

    • I totally agree it just seems that it a thing nowadays.  It must be due to how fireworks are sold. 
    • Well worth a read   https://manchestermill.co.uk/the-men-who-raised-the-flags/
    • If it was limited to a couple of days a year, so we all knew, that would be fine. In the last few years (and it is a recent thing) you get random fireworks going off any time after dusk for half the year. It does more than cause problems for pets and wildlife- it can mean lasting damage and massive expense and hassle for pet owners. All because some get a buzz out of loud bangs.
    • Ohh dear.  Fireworks can be great fun.  Where I used to live the kids would have firework wars/games.  Watching them was more enjoyable than watching  TV. (Which you could hardly hear due to the pops and bangs).  It's not like anyone/anything could stop them. I would still prefer organised public displays that are affordable.   And I agree that fireworks cause problems for wild life, pets and people.   It seems to be one of those things that just happens so we have to put up with it.  But it is still not as problematic here as in other areas in London - that's for sure.
