Quote from: Raven on May 10, 2026, 02:51:30 PMThose horses were great, we had one with the big bow rockers when my sisters and I were growing up. They didn't bother with it as they got older but I still loved old Dobin even when I was a teenager. He sat in the big hall of the house and I would sit on him rocking gently and read.
When we moved house my mother, who knew how much I loved Dobin waited untill I was at school before she had it taken to the sale rooms, it broke my heart when I realised what had happened, it also altered my relationship with her, I've never to this day forgiven her, I would never have gotten rid of Dobin and would have him to this day, also my own two would have loved playing with him as well.
This is is what he looked like. 

He's beautiful .

No one appears to have told Doctors Without Borders either .
Who are saying that Israel is "weaponising  water to commit genocide "
It's sad that this once heroic organisation has become so corrupted .

You dont have people who being genocided running marathons .
Starving people don't run at all .
They have no strength or energy.
People don't run races in the heat of the Middle East ( 25 degrees  yesterday ) without water .

Great ! 
I look forward to it .

Sometimes things just don't go right ,then I will generally just paint over and do something else .

But if at first you don't succeed.....

Keep slushing more paint on ....

It was pretty dingy from what I recall but it was also close and there was a fair chance that we could make it there and back without whatever banger I was driving at the time needing roadside repairs. We'd probably go two or three times a year.

One attraction at Wellingborough zoo that amused mine at the time was the monkey or chimp that clung to the front of its cage making a racket until it had attracted a good audience then peed on those close enough.

Ah happy days and simple pleasures.

I started the day full of good intentions and ended up doing nothing. It has been quite tiring.

I suppose I shouldn't tell you but there is a section telling people how to download just about anything that is available. I used to refer to it as Zoony's emporium as he was an avid downloader. https://letschat.club/index.php?topic=664.0

I don't think anybody other than Zoony and myself downloaded stuff and I don't much these days as I have a huge amount of films and TV series on disk already. It could be out of date to a degree by now but if anybody wants to try their hand I can update it. I don't do my own downloads exactly the same as described there as I just have a subscription that gets things a lot quicker.

There are plenty that don't like Reform politics. Then there are those who are unused to politicians giving an answer to questions put to them rather than answering a question they wish had been asked instead. That certainly puts BBC interviewers on the back foot.

I've never been to Twycross either.    Yes, I remember those PG chimps on telly.  
I only live about 5 miles from Wellingborough,  but I never went to their zoo.   
I had heard whispers it wasn't very nice,  then next thing was, it was closed down.

Quote from: Mups on May 10, 2026, 12:28:30 PMKlondie,  did you ever know of  Wellingborough Zoo? 
It opened in the late 1940's I think,  but got shut down in 1970 because the RSPCA reported animal welfare issues.
I never did go there and see it though.
