Because I don't need to get my rocks off by being an obnoxious A-hoe
like you.

It's a pretty innocent question. They might have just been repeating
what they had been told by others who had eaten pork. Nothing wrong
with that.


Chinese people would not take it as an innocent question. I learned a
long time ago that people who have different cultural backgrounds, react
differently to statements. Not always realizing that has cost me.

Btw, have you been here on a narrowboat holiday? We've met many
of your fellow citizens over more than 30 years of boating!

No. It was something I have thought about, but never got around
to. There was always something else to be done, or something else
which demanded the attention of my wallet.

Ha! I do understand! ;-)

Are you still young enough and sufficiently active to have it on
your bucket list?

I'm 68, and I have a pulse.

What a lovely way to describe yourself! :-)

If not, there is always the option of a *Hotel* narrowboat!

I found this for you:
http://www.hotelboating.co.uk/the-hotelboats-crews.html

These days, since my wife died,

I am sorry for your loss and understand your pain. Can you recall
the name of my late son?

That would be Nick.

That's correct. Forgive me for double-checking that you had, indeed,
read all of my message at the YouTube link I provided earlier. I
sometimes find it a little difficult to learn who one can trust
on-line, especially in Usenet groups!

Will you be happy for me to contact you by email? Your experience as a
police officer might be helpful to me.

This post will give you some idea of what I'd like to ask you about:-

My email has always been available to those who were prepared to make
the simple fix to the address I use for Usenet.

That in itself shows you are an honest fellow! ;-)

As to whether or not I can be in anyway helpful, that might be somewhat
limited.

I understand. Did you read the post here?

Nice pic, but a question about the cat -

What happened to his ear (the one we see on the right)?

It's part of the Trap Neuter Release program (TNR)
Ear-tipping is the preferred method to identify spayed or neutered and
vaccinated feral cats.

I learn something new every day!

Here's another cat with a tipped ear:

I'm disappointed that I couldn't view him/it! This is what I see:-

Try this link:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yfbm37dayk...%20-2.jpg?dl=0

The tipped eared cats was a new one on me too. I noticed the first
cat had a piece
of ear missing and didn't think much of it. Then the other cat
appeared with an
identical
ear tipped and I used google and found the answer. Good idea and easy
to spot.
Tattoos have been on spayed dogs' bellies.


I wonder if PETA will launch a campaign insisting that men who have
vasectomies have their ears notched. If we're going to do it with
cats, why not humans?

For what it's worth, PETA does not support TNR and thus would not likely
support your suggested expansion of the program.

Last night I joined PETA. I was a People Eating a Tasty Animal.


:-) nice one I'll, have to worm that into a conversion with vegitarian friends.


Some years ago I had lunch with some vegetarian friends, who claimed
never to have eaten meat. We went to a vegetarian Chinese restaurant,
where they encouraged me to try the vegetarian pork. When they told me
it tastes like the real thing, I refrained from asking how they knew.

That's the sort of slip that lawyers love from opposing witnesses.

You should have, someones been trying to convince me that all meat tastes and smells the same when cooking because it's just burnt flesh and all flesh is made from the same chemicals.

You friend is wrong. You need to read "on Food and Cooking" by Harold
McGee. See
https://www.amazon.com/Food-Cooking-.../dp/0684800012

Highly recommended.

My most painful moment was when a veggie friend was showing me pictures of her trip to Australia showing me loads of pictures of cute Koalas, I just happen to say "I wonder what they taste like", she meant to punch me on the leg but missed and hit me in the groin .

While I use a VPN, I have no time for torrent sites, especially
Piratebay, which I consider to be a criminal organization. So little
reason for me to "reveiw" any of those links. The three Swedish
"pirates" have been convicted of copyright infringement, and each were
sentenced to one year, and have since been released.

As far as torrent sites go, there are honest ways to obtain music and
other media where the artists and creators of the work can benefit,
rather than having their work stolen. Along with buying music music I
care for, I also stream from various legitimate sources, and I
subscribe to Netflix and Amazon Prime.
