?The WSPA are complaining that some zoos in China feed cow to the tigers, OK you can pay $100 and they will feed a cow to the tiger, the cow, is alive and is killed by the said tigers. Ok, tell me what's the difference between this and in the wild life? for me, the only difference is that the cow can't run as fast as a gazelle, maybe not enough room.
Either way, I don't really see what's barbaric about this? 

Rob Laidlaw of the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) says he's appalled by what he's seen of the exotic animal shows, and doesn't think they teach much about the animals in their natural habitat.

"It's horrendously cruel," Laidlaw told CTV News. "You've got an animal that's being preyed upon -- it can be an ostrich or cow or a pig, or even in some cases horses -- that are put into barren enclosures with predatory animals like lions and tigers, so it's completely artificial."

Are these folks going to complain about the leopards or Jaguars or even the beautiful cheetah from going out and getting a bit of wildebeest?

Sometimes I think these animal rights groups meddle too much.

Ok folks, some of you are/maybe having problems with adding comments to my, well, world famous, blog!

As I is a very busy techie guy, I will have to find some time to work out what could be causing this problem.

So if you get an error along the lines of /www/se/bundled-libs/PEAR.php on line 848

Then that's the techie problem I'm having, It will take a while to fix as time isn't something I have a lot of these days.

So bear with me while I try and find what's causing the above error as at the moment I haven't a clue what's causing it!

Thanks,

Well, don't know if this a lost in translation issue, or it's a genuine offer to the Belgian male votes, don't know what the woman will say, suffice to say, this person has a hell of a neat way to get votes.

Here's the snappy of the politician in question hoping to get in to the Belgian senate, her name is Tania and she represents the NEE party

Here she is:

 And this is what she has to say...

I am the leading NEE party senate candidate in Belgium. And due to popular demand, I will give 40,000 blowjobs to anyone who requests one on this page.

It started with our response to incredible claims that were made by other parties in Belgium, several parties promised new job opportunities in ridiculous amounts. We responded with a parody campaign for which I posed naked and promised our voters 400.000 new jobs.

 I suppose she has something to offer, but somehow I don't think she will be able to honour all the blowjobs! So, she could get done under the trade description act. Not sure that they have that in Belgium!

So our Tony is buggering of to the land of the unber-rich in 47 days... Could it not be sooner? or is he happy with that? I mean, he loves about 26% of the electorate who voted him in last time. SO, when he leaves, what could he be thinking?....

Well folks, this site will go off line for sometime over the week-end. Just to let you know....

Other than that... some one went into a shop to hold it up and wanted to steal a Sony PSP3, the shop keeper said they had none in stock... SO the man ended leaving with only a Microsoft Xbox.

Simple moral of this story, check the stocks first, before trying to steal something.... Sheeesh

*UPDATE* 05/05/07 around 13:00 hours

Well, the upgrade when fairly well, just my gallery site has got a wee hitch. I'm sure I'll have that sorted before the week-end is out.

Also to add, the very nice folk at Servage did 90% of the hard work. Thanks again.

So I have this nagging cough that just doesn't go away. So, of to the old GP I goes. This being the UK, it's not always easy to make an apppointment to see your GP, so the quickest way I have found is that everything is an emergency, then you can get to see the doc the next morning between 09:00 and 11:00, not too bad but one does what one can.

I was prescibed simple Linctus hopefully it will work. Me being me, I look up on t'internet to see what it does, how it works etc.

Low and behold the powers of Google, I find my answer.

• there are two types of cough medicine, cough expectorant and cough suppressant - although there is little evidence that either is effective.

• the logic behind use is that:
  • a 'dry cough' with little phlegm requires a cough suppressant e.g. codeine and pholcodeine linctus.
  • a 'productive cough' requires a cough expectorant to help bring up phlegm e.g. 'ammonia and ipecacuanha mixture BPC' - expectorants are designed to force the cough reflex to propel the phlegm out of the bronchi - there is no evidence that they have any effect.

 What tickled me with this one is the comment about expectorants.. there is no evidence that they have any effect. There you go, the Docs can't explain why it works.
