If EVERYBODY was Kung Fu fighting, I would have expected more broken furniture.A girlfriend of mine was from Indonesia. I once had this song stuck in my head. I asked her if she ever had a song stuck in her head. She gave me a really weird look and said " aiya ". Now I know what she meant.
Here is that song, so listen to it and see if it gets stuck in your head.
But I admit that "Some people were kung fu fighting while the others just watched the Emmerdale Omnibus and had a cup of tea" would be a bit hard to fit into the songline.
I'm not allergic to anything as far as I know.I guess I'm weird, I don't have any food allergies.
I'm only allergic to one medicine. (Cephalosporin)
But oranges give me migraine.

"A significant portion of those present were kung fu fighting."

People who "play" with bettas (more like torture) should be charged with animal abuse, just like a cat or dog. Why is a betta any different? It just makes me so mad and there is nothing I can do. You can not imagine how many poor bettas I saw, in small un heated/un filtered bowls, as I was looking for houses up here. I just wanted to take their owners by the ear, dunk them in freezing cold water, starve them, and then see how they feel.
(Sorry for the outburst/violence, but all of that was a good representation of what they go through.)
@NCaquatics 's story about her betta "Tank" made me think of this one.

I think he refers to those who keep them in mason jars rather than those who actually play with Bettas to stimulate them, hence the quote marks.

Carl Douglas was a painter/decorator from Birmingham area originally. About 20yrs ago i worked opposite a house in London that had a painter/decorators van with “Carl Douglas Painter-Decorator” signwritten on it parked outside. What do you mean “Was it him?”
“Of COURSE it was him”.
The yuppie types just loved to be able to tell their friends “You’ll never believe who my decorator is!”. Hit record still paying out for him even away from the music industry.

Allergies are a very strange thing. I’ve a couple but there’s something even weirder:
I dunno if it’s an allergy but an ingredient in nurofen, aspirin and the other strong one that’s brand name escapes me at the moment make my eyes water, nose run and sneeze uncontrollably for About 3-4 hours within 10 mins of taking them. Paracetamol and Solphadeine are ok though.
It never occurred til I was in my 30s.
Theres an ingredient in the first lot that isn’t in the other according to an old doctor of mine though he’d never heard anything like it.
First time I was 5 mins into a 275mile drive. Had to pull over, be collected by family and have my car driven back to start of journey. Wore off after a few hours but I was too scared to drive that day. Took 3 or 4 occurances to figure out what was going on.

Back on topic:
The Rolling Stones have released maybe two hours of music worth listening too in total since 1972. Talk about stringing it out....their four albums prior to that are as good a run as anyone ever put together just in case someone thinks I’m not a fan.
I honestly don’t know what happened. Jones-Taylor-Wood....somewhere between Taylor losing interest and Wood joining they lost the magic. Or at least started mislaying it more and more. At least they had it. There I’ve said it.
Tune in this time next week for a despairing overview of the collective works of Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, Chet Baker, Roxy Music or David Bowie.*
*depending on which box of cds I bring down from the loft/attic later today.

Better than the Beatles - I doubt they've released anywhere near 2 hours of decent music - singly or as a group - in their entire careers!
I can't think of anyone more over-hyped, and that includes the Kardashians. Absolute rubbish!

Every living creature deserves as good a life as we can give it, if we choose to assume responsibility for it. They are totally dependent upon us for EVERYTHING - and neglect ing them is akin to torture.
Cold water, taking them out of water to see how long they can live, no water changes, freezing them and then saving them at the last second, etc.
