Guest Guest Posted March 6, 2015 I understand your reason for transferring my post to the animal thread but you have to understand that to me Frank was more than just an animal. He was like a member of my family. I live alone since my acrimonius divorce with my m oney grabbing wife . She took custody of our dog Bruno so I was left with Frank, and he comforted me as I adjusted to life on my own (and getting used to losing a large part of my financial portfolio).It may sound daft to most people but Frank helped me get over the trauma of being totyally fucked over by someone I once loved.sO to me Frank was almost human .Is there no-one who has been in my situation?

Sir Creep 7,042 Posted April 17, 2015 Approx 13.7 MILLION bees have gone to that great hive in the sky after a truck carrying 458 hives rolls over in Washington state, creating a "beenado (tornado of bees), which frankly sounds awesome. Ain't done the math but that seems an awful lot of bees per hive. Does it to anyone else?

Wow had no idea. Kinda sad really given the recent concern over honey bee populations. I've just started seeing a few in my clovers that I rarely saw the past 4-5 years before.

Rotten Ali 600 Posted April 18, 2015 I'm amazed that the U.S. Feds in the Dept of Agriculture could allow the above scenario to be allowed to happen. And then to top that off, with firemen aiming to kill the remaining bees "for safety" is a criminal act in its self. Who took that decision? Who allowed that decision to be made? NO, NO, NO. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. THAT PERSON or PERSONS NEED TO JAILED FOR A VERY LONG TIME. For me it must be the number 1 concern to have a 500 new hives built and distributed to the affected area within the next 24 hours to try and rebuild what ever can salvaged from this mess. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,042 Posted June 27, 2015 A golden retriever belonging to the family of a former Premier League footballer died of heatstroke after being left inside a hair-drying cabinet at a dog grooming parlour. Charlie, a healthy six-year-old owned by ex-Liverpool defender Daniel Agger and his wife Sofie, had been inside the dryer for 15 minutes when he started pawing at the door. Upon opening the dryer 10 minutes later, the parlour owner exclaimed, "hot dog!"
