Amazing fortitude that has paid off ... a lot more to the story than appears here but this the core of it. The orcas return -

Read her book many moons ago - 'Listening to Whales' - fascinating read.

This is a BIG thing over here Crazy - pregnant, unwed mothers were treated like dirt here. As one woman so rightly said on the radio yesterday - where are all the fathers???? If a girl fell pregnant her father would call the priest to 'deal' with the situation. Their children were given up for adoption without the mothers having any say in the matter. Awful treatment by the church and state.

LOL on the Bitcoin...the guy must be literally 'sh#tting bricks!'

had a friend a few years ago whom ive lost contact with over the years...such is life!
he bought several Bitcoin when they first came out and were worth virtually nothing
we all used to make fun of him for 'wasting his money'
fast forward a number of years and i guess he is laughing now!

Here we go again - insurance companies trying to say that the reason pubs are closed has nothing to do with a disease outbreak and they therefore are not required to pay out. Can you believe the gall of these thieves.

excellent gimmick/anti-advertisment for a restaurant IMO
