Mother Nature? Oh, please......

having got this far, you may think that AndyBB's diatribe is nothing more than the opinionated, egotistical drivel of some tw*t on his soapbox having a bad day, who's perhaps been nipped by somebody's beloved lapdog. ...

well im here to tell you having met Andy on several occasions at North Wood, he is one of the most affable, good humoured and generous blokes you would wish to meet. ... but dont take my word for it ask Tom, or Jerry.

Andy I don't know you yet and I stand on the other side of the fence to you on this (not that that matters to me) but I'd really like to know what brought this on ... any chance you can tell us ?

I think he was upset that Bambi's mom was killed.

Well, barring unforseen comets etc, we've got 4-odd billion years to evolve sufficiently to avoid getting swallowed by the Sun as it ennters its red giant stage!

I think we may have less time than that.........As the earth's core is cooling we risk loosing our electro magnetic shield & so life on this planet will be fried by solar radiation.................................then there's the tiny matter of the Milky way colliding with Adromeda........which will come first, the death of the sun or the astral orgy.. ?
Now if we can only find a Stargate, our futur will be secured.

The fact that Thumper can actually talk often blows people's minds ..................................Ooops sorry, another spoiler

 

[Toddy]

You have wonder sometimes, just what kind of distorted mind came up with that. or what they were smoking ?

On t'other hand the reality is that something with ever growing teeth and claws and as vicious as a rabbit was ever considered to make a good pet They look all soft and fluffy and cute, but they can be savage wee brutes.

We'd be in trouble if they were all as smart as Bugs.

I remember reading a book long ago that had at its heart the story of some scientists trying, and succeeding, infinding a way theoretically to utilise black holes to travel effectively FTL. On taking it to the government, they were crushed to find out that this had already been tried, but the results had never been published, as the result was actually slower than the speed of light, and they didn't want to demoralise Earth's population by telling them that they'd never, ever travel to the stars........

A nice cheery ending I thought!

Nah - i'd only go off on another one! But suffice to say that it was a combination of articles including how Mother Gaia was going to come riding to the defense of the otherwise happy animal kingdom who all lived in peace and harmony before men came, riding on the back of the horned Green Man. Accompanied by pics of her and her kids, who clearly had been taught the same thing by mummy, who had clearly been partaking of various natural substances........... And, no, I'll not be posting up a reference, as this is a family site, and such atrocities should not be spread amongst the young

 

[woodspirits]

amazing how one man can rattle so many cages in such a short time.

 

[TurboGirl]

....how Mother Gaia was going to come riding on the back of the horned Green Man. ...

MOST excellent Sounds like a good basis for a new religion to me, slightly back to front perhaps

Wheres that story about the spirit then, Steve? Is it repeatable on a family forum?!

 

[Andy BB]

I consider it a gift

 

[Toddy]

Erhm, the Wild Hunt comes to mind......and if you've ever seen humans as a gang pack hunting, yeah that's brutal. I suspect that half those old tales are firmly rooted in humanity's supposed 'idyllic' natural past, and it's not that peaceful.
Ask any of the Historians or Archaeologists on her about that.

Come now Woodspirits. Do you not find the Monty Pythonesque twitchings of the scientifically biased, as amusing as the wailing and threats of damnation issued by the men in strange pointed hats and clutching shepherds crooks, based in Canterbury and Rome??

 

[Robbi]

just read all of this thread .......
