Awwwwwwwwwwww

We had it on the news here. Awesome!

Yes ~ he'll be thinking a little more than "so long and thanks for all the fish!" ~ marvellous.

I can't see that link, but I'm assuming from the text that Japanese people have fitted an artificial fin to a dolphin?

Pity that they slice the fins *off* millions of fish** before returning them to the sea to die. Just to make the fins into soup.

It's about as endearing as knowing that Adolf Hitler was kind to dogs.

** Yes, before anyone points it out, I *know* dolphins aren't fish. That's not really the point.

the Japanees are just keeping fit....... apperently they taste better.....the fitter they are!


Make No Mistake Whaling Is Wrong

I do know this, I wrote this: A13900042

I just thought it was a massive paradigm shift, worthy of note. Maybe we shouldn't tar an entire nation with the bloody brush of the rest of the whalers.

yeah, but its just a disguise, init! Hiding behind a invisible curtain..... killing something in the name of sciance..... interesting Japanees Army Unit 731 should be worth a google

christ i allways cock it up

some times help comes from good corner. like tis this time.

The Revenge of the Whales...and Dolphins I hope..

Makes a change!

next they'll fit an artificial dolphin to a fin, i guess

i wonder what rupert would look like if he were fitted with a dolphin

Is there a link we can see without having to download that filth the BBC peddle?

2007 is not only the year of the pig (starting Sunday)
but it's also the year of the dolphin - the 2nd most
intelligent species on the planet according to the
brainsize/bodysize index.

Hiya long name difficult to pronounce never mind spell. I didn't know the BBC pedalled filth..things have certainly changed since I was a young Geordie Lad....

Hiya also Lluckyllagrubss whatever...I peaked at your PS....and discovered you are a bookworm.....If I may use that word..

Hi Stephen,
Llareggub "or whatever" is a fictional village in Wales which Dylan Thomas wrote about in his masterpiece Under Milk Wood. You have to read it backwards to see what Dylan was getting at. He based many of his characters, Ockie Milkman, Rev Eli Jenkins, etc. on local characters in the town of Newport in Wales. There's a great audio-cd or tape featuring Richard Burton you might find in your local library.
Now I'm off to peek at you!

...I didn't read that stuff when I was at school in England..My Lord, I thought The English thought Dylan Thomas was a heretic.....

btw..if you don't mind I hve added you to my friends list...




Stephen

Cheers! Have a tinnie on me!

We never read Dylan Thomas at school either. We were languishing with Thomas Hardy, Tennyson and co.
I don't think our conservative English teacher had ever heard of Anglo-Welsh Literature.

..I don't drink "tinnies". I drink stubbies instead...I had better send you an Aussie dictionary...hang on while I find it...
