Frozen Planet 2.... Killer Whales hunting seals on the sea ice is absolutely fucking astounding to watch.

Every black and white animal seems to be an arsehole.

Magpies, killer whales, honey badgers. Zebras are just arsehole horses. 

Fairly sure pandas are up to something too.

I told the story before of going to Leicester Square in the days before mobile phones.  There were three public phones with a huge queue for the one on the right.  So I tried the one on the left.  Not only did it work but it gave me my money back.  I told people in the queue but they refused to believe me.

I came back later in the day to use the phone on the left again.  The Queue for the one on the right had hardly moved.

Similar(ish) from me -

1- A couple of weeks back I was queuing at the (apparently) only working ATM in a line if 3.  After a few minutes a young guy sauntered up from nowhere to use one of the (apparently) non-working ATMs.  He got his cash without issue.  I then expected the line I was in to split in 2 to use the 2nd ATM.  Nope.  So, after a respectful few seconds I too took advantage of the working machine (OK Kenneth).  I wandered off having done my business and looked back but still nobody else was using the 2nd machine.  ???

2- A few weeks before the above a guy tried to use an ATM but wasn't able to for some reason.  He left and so did the next 5 or 6 folk in the queue!  I was now transported to the front and thought I'll give it a go - worked perfectly! 

Folk are strange.

I just tried taramasalata for the first time out of sheer curiousity.

Absolutely grim.  Had me on the verge of the boke, which is very unusual for me as I seem to like (or at least not mind) the vast, vast majority of goods.

Any deviants out there who have tried it more than once care to out themselves?

I’ve had it more than once but usually as part of an entree selection of dips and pita. Will one small dollop to be polite then get stuck into the others especially if it’s skordalia or kopanisti.

Happily. It's lovely on a bit of crispyish flatbread, with black olives, maybe a bit of cucumber.

I wouldn’t have it as a main course, that's just weird.

Just watched that tonight - I thought the seal had got away with it until the 100 year old maw turned up with the rest of the family. Holy shit that was impressive

(unless you're a seal)

I have a black and white husky/malamute and can confirm she's an arsehole.

I've lived with a couple of malamutes and can confirm that, even though they can be very cute and all that, they're a bunch of obstinate arseholes.

Dogs for people who'd secretly prefer to have a cat.

Only because they're pack dogs and need hierarchy. We also had a pair of malamutes when we lived in Germany, they were brilliant, however, if you don't have an active lifestyle and keep them mentally stimulated, they can be absolute cvnts and will destroy your house.

We had one who'd wake me up during the night to talk. Just sit and grumble at me for a while.

"Dave, do you ever wonder if fish fart? I'd never thought about it before, but now it's keeping me up. Also, I want to go out and check if the moon's still there".

Like when cats tap your face because someone did something horrific in their litter tray, and they want to go over the roommate agreement to find out who's responsible for tidying up that stuff.

Sister-in-law visited us today. As she was leaving she said "I came here today to talk to Jacksgranda, but he's hardly opened his mouth."

"I never got a chance", says I.

1-0 me.

Took an early lead, but you'll be hanging on under constant pressure for the rest of the game

My granny was 100 today. Charles hadn't sent her her card, lazy git, not like he's been doing anything.

"Just a quick nom de plume for a lovely wee woman's 100th Chick"

"Oh how lovely, where do i sign?.."

"That's great, I'll get it posted to Scotland asap"

"Scotland?....."
