Yeah, and we are her subjects

me too never heard of swan eating.

If I remember correctly, Daily Mirror or a similar newspaper made a lot of fuss saying that Polish immigrants in the UK were killing and eating swans a while ago. That cracked me up, swans? I´ve never heard of anyone eating swans

Well

They are delicious..They taste like aromatic chicken.. The meat is a bit tough but you can soften it by marinating with garlic, olive oil and balsamic vinegar, 24 hours prior to frying.. Dont forget to add seasoning (I would recommend salt, pepper,  thyme and rosemary ..

You are hideous!

Offf ya...tamam. Mufağa gidiyorum

"♪♫...are you going to Scarborough fair....parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme...♪♫"

strange that poles dont eat swans in poland despite the joblessness but they do in daily mirror.

Playground for pensioners

The Senior Playground in Hyde Park, which opened this week.

It’s the opposite of a children’s playground: instead of seesaws and climbing frames it is full of fancy exercise equipment for pensioners to keep their joints from creaking.

Finally, science creates life!!!

Scientists have succeeded in creating artificial life in a test tube, in a development which promises to revolutionise biotechnology.

The research opens the way for scientists to create new life forms that can be genetically programmed to carry out a variety of functions, such as producing carbon-free fuel or made-to-order vaccines and providing new forms of food and clean water. However, the study also raises ethical concerns about the technology falling into the wrong hands, and, for instance, being used to make biological weapons, or by scientists to "play God" with life.

I think it is time for creationists to salute the science!! Because this was the LAST castle for them  

(The research team, led by Craig Venter, who previously directed one of the teams which decoded the human genome, said they had created synthetic life in the form of a new species of bacteria that operates entirely under the control of a man-made set of genetic instructions, originally stored on a computer. They synthesised the genome of a bacterial cell and used it to "boot up" the empty cell of another species of bacteria, which then replicated freely as if it were carrying its own set of genetic instructions instead of a set made in a laboratory.)

Not so fast! Nobody can create a life!

They used existing bacteria! phew, so much for the gods of science!

Frequent meal at Chez Handsom is it??  

Bit behind Turkey in the UK aren´t they?  There are at least 4 of these excercise parks here on the Bodrum peninsula that I know of and Trudy uploaded a photo of one she saw on the outskirts of Istanbul recently.  Only difference being is that they are used by all ages - my neighbour´s 19 year old daughter and her friend go to the local park to exercise every day when they are home from Uni - not as good as a gym but the main point is it´s free!
