I remember as a child, that song being played one Christmas Grandad.. :)

Rolf Harris is a real genius, his artwork and music are phenomenal..

He strikes me as the kind of person who'd be more at home out in the bush with the Aborigines, rather than living in U.K Suberbia though.. Odd :?

here's an Idea guys, My mate runs a Reptile and Raptor sanctuary over the mountain form where I live. He welcomes visitors and volunteers too. If you have such a place in your area, why not give them a call and see if you would be welcome to photograph the birds ? You would know what birds you are g...

Benetton will do anything to get publicity, but they always dress it up as something else, some good cause or another, what a load of crap. What are you betting that they are more afraid of the reaction of a few Muslim fanatics than of offending a few million Catholics. ;) Yes Horus, this one is pa...

Ground water in the area flows from the fields to the east toward the Nile rather than the other way. The salinity of the lake is much higher than the Nile as well. Now, due to the rotation of the earth, I would have said it should have gone to the West ! Interesting about the salinity of the water...
