WB I presume the Manx Wallabies have tails....
Just wondered.... How did Manx cats come to be? I suppose it must have been a strange cat breeder who decided that it was an attractive feature to encourage. I don't suppose the cats feel that way!
As far as I know the tailless cats were bred to be like that. Too much inbreeding, most of them (and the stumpies) have awful health problems. Definitely need pet insurance if you take one of them on!

Ben, Mann Cat Sanctuary is still there (near the motel you stayed at) but I've never been in there (more of a dog person).
Seen a few photos of the place, quite a few Manx cats seem to be there.

Ben, the place is the Santon Motel. Still a going concern.
The cafe is the Sound Cafe at the southern tip, now very upmarket but worth it for the view.
Didn't know Swayze had been there, (but I did see Johny Depp in Douglas).

Here on the Isle of Man we are starting to get used to seeing wallabies, they are spreading at quite a fast rate.

Some people's lack of humour... (white people stereotyping never gets axed).

I suppose it could always be used on a kid sized wheel barrow.
I had a wheelbarrow, the wheel fell off...

I used to love those MFI diagrams..and the Eastern Germans leaving an essential screw out of the pack.
Used to work in the stores for a large engineering company with its own assembly area. Often used to add 1 extra screw or component and watch the assemblers trying to find out where they had missed something. My excuse is I was only a lad at the time and that sort of thing tickled my sense of humour back then.

So, why is this offensive if the black power fist is not deemed offensive any more?

Just dropped my lovely tablet, typing through a spider's web now. Must check insurance to see if it's covered.

Cat in the Hat by Dr. Suess- weekly visit to the library just to renew it.
Then on to Billy Bunter and any Enid Blyton.
Moving onwards to early teenage, a girl I madly fell in love with for a few weeks had posh parents who got me to read Lord of the Rings (Hardback version).
Never looked back after that and will read anything fiction now.
Discovered Pratchett in the mid eighties and still reread his stuff occasionally now.

I doubt if the young uns of today would even believe those house prices.
That's true...
Bought my first house in 1974 for £4,750. 2 bedroom terrace in Netherfield.
Sold it 6 years later for £9,500.
My youngest is starting to house hunt for the first time and the cheap side of things over here starts at more than £160,000!

This is proving popular over here...

More people should get involved, it doesn't have to be beaches, just pick on any area and get as many people involved as you can. Only needs a couple of hours a couple of times a month if free time is an issue.
