Actually had to work today while it was nice and sunny outside.

Weekend soon.
That'll be great if the weekend weather is good . We're planning to take the kids to Thorpe Park.

There's an outbreak of morale on the forum!

Have to admit, I like long summer nights.

I do love dolphins! And yes I adore long summer nights as well, I think they are ace however living in QLD it looks like I can kiss them goodbye so to make the best of a bad situation I'm buying garden lights and candles!

You Mr have a lot to answer for

Since the dolphin thing started on this forum, we have seen a dolphin in the brisbane river a shark 3 metres off shore, whales off the headland, first fins then entire whales, just yesterday the middle teen came home and had been swimming with a baby shark off mooloolaba.

Strange as I never noticed them before.

Sorry for thread hijack, back to the UK is a dreary toilet thread

People think dolphins are so sweet and nice...I remember seeing a doco where they said that dolphins along with man were the only animal that kills for fun! There was footage of dolphins killing a porpoise by tossing it around until it karked it. It was off the UK mind you so they could've been of the Chavnose variety.

Really, good now I want to see a dolphin attack a speedo clad tourist at one of those awful resorts where they charge people to feed the poor creatures

Wildlife should be just that
