Indeed, not all people who dispatch animals do so humainely, even some of the abattoirs use less then effective methods in their quest for mass cost efficient processes. Mrs/Dr Rabbie has a very honourable and commendable profession, please send her my regards and unsolicited thanks...

Opposite trouble in Canada, we have no rain and anyone who has surface wells are asking for help getting water. We had a bountiful first cut but I think this will end up as a two cut hay year... and the second cut is going to be very lean. Would love to trade some of this excess sun for some...

Some people have demonstrated they have hoplophobia and perhaps are a bit xenophobic, so it is not so surprizing that the thread was deviated in that direction. Some people still raise animals for their own food, in Canada they are called "farmers" and many of these "farmers" own "firearms"...

I doubt that people will have the ability to collar their breeding to levels to maintain or reduce the population count, we will just have to trust natural (or unnatural) selection once the population becomes big enough to be unsustainable. Humans just do not learn well when it required...

After flying a lot to make a living it is more relaxing to either drive my motorbike or take a train or bus places and actually see the countryside. On short haul flights if you include door to door transit times with the security checks and such it is faster to take the train or bus, certainly...

I love America: to visit. Really no point in moving there though as we have already found our paradise in Canada, with all its faults. We have travelled a lot around the world and seen lots of places but decided that what we were getting in Canada was worth settling into and staying. We have...

Goodly post in the right place, just think that the Bradford Formula like any other calculation is best calculated on the fly rather then a stored value.

I did not catch the GP because we were on a vintage rally in Ottawa Canada. A friend of mune in UK said he had too much rain and his bikes in the shed were up to the rims in water, which was better then his neighbour down the lane who had 3 foot in his home. It seem that this 'climate...

Seems fickle for a country which prides itself on democracy yet does not trust the intentions of elected officials.

Just wondering how many people here feel that they are on the leading edge or perhaps starting to slip to the trailing edge of technology? Such as still using the previous versions of software? Perhaps using older hardware which is starting to have age related shortcomings? Does your...

English is so confusing - being told to "get in the queue" by British Customs Officers at Heathrow was confusing for me because "queue" is canadian french slang for backside (because it means tail)... ...further confusion arises because in France "queue" is also used as slang for the male...

We got to see the edited version in Canada on television, looks like everyone who attended had a good time. The focus we saw was on the Canadian supplied entertainment, displays and tributes, so I dont know much about non-commonwealth entertainers on stage. I would suppose that it was a lot...

We had a chocolate lab which we trained for hand and voice signals. The hand signals were handy because we could not keep her out of the river and she loved to go under the water after things.

Our chicken shed has a tin roof, more like a gazebo then a shed actually, we spoil then and they return the favours with eggs.

Flat line and in need of a cup of tea

On the vote survey it says: "Be sure to locate your local NMEDA dealer to get a unique promotional code to get an edge on your competition before you vote. This will allow the person you are voting for to gain 5 votes, but only one time." I looked at the National Mobility Equipment Dealers...

Corporations seeding the world with GMO corn like Deklab, Pioneer and Monsanto would be proud to hear everyone instantly relating ethanol production to be directly linked to their biggest selling product. However, corn is way down the list for yeild of fuel per acre: Jerusalem artichoke is...

Actually it was in production until I was advised that it was not permitted by federal taxation agents, aparently it was highlighted one time as an anomoly while they were surveying for marajuana hidden in neighbours corn fields. Our other neighbours who farm organically (not neccessarily...

I am just amazed how much of the old technology is being re-invented as the 'new technology'. Hybred cars are an idea from the turn of the last century, to extend the range of electric cars which were getting 'old' as more people who could afford self propelled vehicles were opting for the...
