I can't confirm that sprinkling salt on a birds tail stops it from flying as believing every word a beloved uncle who had assured me that if I sprinkled some salt from the little blue twist you always got in a packet of Smiths crisp I would be able to hold and stroke a sparrow. He said sparrow because a pigeon was a big ask for a little un to aim for.Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Funny enough Solo it was my old uncle Dave who told me as a child about the salt and the birds too. As the old song goes,Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
They are really flogging that Pelaton (French for platoon).... odd word to use though as it means riders in a group saving energy by riding close by drafting or slipstreaming near or behind other riders...so a wide HD screen in front of you can't be the same as loads of jiggling bums doing you a favour..Can it!Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
“Ceaseless tintinnabulation” the sound of that is torture in itself.Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
When my grandma moved from Ireland to live in England her wedding ring was a sturdy silver claddagh. At that time knowing they may get a rough ride being Irish she was advised to get a gold band but refused simply saying "claddagh or no claddagh they would soon find out the minute I opened my mouth where I'm from and no gold band can alter that so my claddagh stays where it is".Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

As a lover of old films I was always fascinated by Klaus Kinski, that creepy looking German actor with the bulging eyes, I knew nothing about him so using Wikipedia I was able to find out a lot. It seems to me his own life was was as eventful as some of the parts he played. I have to say I was not surprised to read he had spent some time in a mental hospital.
