    Giraffes

    18 inches, apparently. They are pretty adept at taking a single food pellet from your fingers. Amazing up close in a sanctuary, even more amazing in the Serengeti.

    Things that annoy you

    The snowflakes saying that James Cleverly's (Foreign Secretary) comments about LGBTQ+ visitors to Qatar should be respectful of their customs and laws were "tone deaf" to the rights of the LGBTQ+ community. OK - to whoever (not just LGBTQ+ people): GO to any country in the world and CARRY ON as...

    Things that annoy you

    Not as annoying as "get [x] done", as in Brexit, Covid, fiscal policy, etc.

    Anyone Here Been To Norway?

    Yes, but Tromso is fucking desolate in the height of summer with 24 hour sun - god knows what it is like in winter with 24h darkness!

    I reckon Forest were being a bit cute there. They will know there are some positions opening up, and that Cooper might be a target for some clubs, so perhaps they are tying him in to a longer contract so that they get more compo and avoid having to fire him at enormous expense??

    I had to toss up between the Northern Lights and the Midnight Sun at Nordkapp - the latter won!!!

    How long before the "Robins to Baggies" thread appears now that Bruce has been sacked?

    New York

    Must revisit this thread when me and Mrs OSB go yo NYC in a couple of years - thanks for the tips, guys! On the Rockefeller Center suggestion, we have a similar opinion about Paris - don't waste your time and money going up the Eiffel Tower. Instead, take the Metro a few stops and go up La Tour...

    Anyone Here Been To Norway?

    I went there in the late 80s as part of a Nordic version of Inter-Rail, and it was fantastic. The railway only goes as far north as Narvik, so we hired a car and drove the rest of the way to the NordKapp (most northerly point of mainland Europe) - a true wonder of the natural world. Amazing to...

    Things that annoy you

    I got tourist e-visas for Kenya and Tanzania a couple of months ago and it was simplicity personified - and only $50 a shout. I would assume a work visa is similarly simple. India, on the other hand, is a fucking shambles!

    so who is the mega rich bbc presenter

    "Pointless" (especially the celebrity version) is now primetime - how the FUCK did we end up here? Maybe it's Alexander Armstrong or the peculiar but charming Richard Osman? Struggling to think of a catchphrase though

    so who is the mega rich bbc presenter

    Or Jason Manford - he has previous in the mistress department, IIRC ... but his catchphrase escapes me!! I can't get past Roy Walker though - "it's good but it's not right" across a GG bust would seem eminently appropriate!
