Remarkable in many ways.

The stories of Shackleton in that great era of exploration are legendary.

Absolutely, Shackleton's endeavours tend to be overshadowed by Scott's.

I think this is unfair in many ways.

The manner of Scott's heroic 'failure' in failing to get to the pole first, and the tragic deaths, seems to tie in with a certain sense of British history.

In all the histories and biographies I have read of both men, I would rather have been led by Shackleton.

Outwith validity of rights and wrongs.
Have a look at what the other half consider auctionable, and what the privileged think is worth buying, and most of all ,can afford it.

As an example of man management, the ability of someone to keep a team of men all pulling in the same direction long enough to survive two years stranded in the Antarctic Circle is pretty unparalleled in documented history.

This pic came up in my Facebook memories from a few years ago. I put the bird feeders on the washing line and some time later pegged out the washing. So much opportunity for childish giggling. "Does this bra make my tits look big?"

Not even sure THIS is the place to put this but I had a mate a lifetime ago in Australia named Steve Myler. No, not McMyler as I just saw that awful crap. He was a great musician probably about 35-40 at this point. Massive RS but a good bloke all the same. I've not heard a thing from him in about 6 years, was wondering if anyone here might know him? He played in a local band there, I THINK they either won or were up for best local artist?

Dunno, everyone I know that knows him haven't heard from him in years.

Wow, evolution really is such a remarkable process! iBest article about vaginas that I have ever read ?



“The duck vagina, was hardly the passive, simple structure that biologists had made it out to be. In fact, it was an expertly rigged penis-rejection machine. But what about in other animal groups?

Males and females seemed to be co-evolving in a sexual arms race, resulting in elaborate sexual organs on both sides.

But conflict, it turned out, was hardly the only force shaping genitals.”

Why Have Female Animals Evolved Such Wild Genitals?

From ducks to dolphins, females have developed sex organs that help them deter undesirable suitors and derive pleasure from non-reproductive behavior

It's not the only remarkable thing about fungi. Don't know if you can get the BBC IPlayer where you live, but these three programmes are well worth a listen : everything you wanted to know about fungi but were afraid to ask.

Shola Ameobi turned up at my weekly dad's football match last night. Didn't he once score a massively offside goal against us at St James?
