Very catchy tune with this fun video warning of being careful around trains.


Set fire to your hair
Poke a stick at a grizzly bear
Eat medicine that's out of date
Use your private parts as piranha bait

Dumb ways to die
So many dumb ways to die
Dumb ways to die-ie-ie
So many dumb ways to die

Get your toast out with a fork
Do your own...

Our Jess with Lord Bath - 17th Marquess of Bath.

We bumped into him when we stopped off for a break on our way home from seeing the Harry Potter studios the other week.

Born in 1932, he is now getting on a bit and seemed genuinely pleased when Jess asked if he minded having his photo taken with her.

His family seat is Longleat House which we actually visited last year.  A wonderful day out that was too.

Just finished reading this amazing book.  One has to read it with an open mind.   Funnily enough much of what it seems the Native Americans believe, is already, and has been for many years, my own beliefs.  Including my belief of how the first real humans were created on the earth.

As you read it, you will become truly regretful at how ancient civilisations, such as the Maya, Aztecs, and Native Americans, were wiped out by Catholicism/Christianity.  How vast knowledge has been destroyed.   How they too...

This Mothering Sunday I went and bought a few more fish for my aquarium.  2 more Red Phantom Tetra and 5 Zebra Danios.

Rich remarked how I should have given a narration on the last video, so this one has me yacking rubbish, lol.

On Sunday all members of the family that happened to be hanging around at that time, which was 7 of us, all went to buy my first 3 starter fish.

I allowed my Jess to pick the first fish after pointing out the ones she could choose from. She chose these sweet little Red Phantom Tetra.

We, the residents of this retirement complex along with other homes in the area have for the last few weeks been fighting against the local council building a mountain bike park track in the conservation area that runs at the bottom of the gardens of my flat.

This is a beautiful wooded area that leads on down to the sea and up onto the hills and paths along the shore.  It's very...

Well, not really Christmas Dinner with the Mayor, but the Mayor was there at the head table, along with other dignitaries, such as the local Vicar, the Chairman of the association and a couple of committee members.

Each year the Diners Club for our retirement complex lays on Christmas dinner and although I had been invited I wasn't going to go along and sit with a lot of people I didn't know, but Barry, one of the volunteers at the Samaritans shop and who moved into the block beside me a couple of months ago, said he would like to go if...

You will see that I now have a "Kudos Me" button on my profile. 



I was chatting to Martha (Spherical) yesterday about what fun it would be to be able to give Kudos more than once to people.  We wracked our brains and searched the web for some sort of gadget but to no avail.  So after Martha had disappeared to bed, I decided to use a top site for this.

If you want to join in only submit Yuku profiles, no boards or...

Made in 2009 I only got around to seeing this film this weekend.  Not only do I love our British thrillers but Michael Caine as far as I am concerned has never made a bad film.

The film starts off pretty slow, but understandably so, as the scene really has to be set, especially for those that are not British and might not understand the seedy part of our inner cities.

Harry Brown, an ex-marine, is now a very old man living on a typical run down maze of a council estate in a tatty neglected flat.  His wife, as the film...
