Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

 

Mathew 4:19

Grangers law : anything i say will  turn out the opposite or not happen at all!

Life insurance? you wont enjoy a penny!

"To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical." Thomas Jefferson

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

'Our' Red deer is Cervus elaphus

Wapiti or just Elk in the US is Cervus elaphus

in Germany its called Rothirsch or Edelhirsch but it is still Cervus elaphus

 

Do your worst Newt show me a Wapiti with palmate antlers and I'll eat my hat.

Seems you're right about the antlers. I was probably thinking of a moose. Size wise, I don't think our Reds are anywhere near as big, are they? More the size of a White Tail? The best head I know of is a 26 pointer. Or was it 24?

nurses

 

nursejudy

I'll go with a mothering of nurses too. It must be Freudian.

 

I like this one: an exaltation of larks

 

and I could just eat a jam of tarts
