  1. Hi Jimmy! I updated the image title for you... 'Not very descriptive, I know. But I think it's marginally better than "DSC02677.JPG"?!!

    Look beyond

    You've got talent, "Lois"... Keep these coming!
  3. Well... 'Just finished a two month job working on a project off the coast of Somalia. This is usually a time for getting all excited about going home but, now, who knows when I will make it back there?

    I'm still at stage one: shock/denial - and the tragedy is only just beginning...

    Time for some prayers. And a little bit less of the old blind panic. And a lot more international cooperation, if you please?

  4. The missing piece is not a problem. You can just frame it with a thick border, offset so that it covers the bottom edge? Either that, or get piece of card, cut it to fit and then colour it so that no one notices!
  5. Well done! Well, that must have kept you out of mischief for a few days!!
  6. Beautiful-looking Husky! You will have to ask Luis if he has a picture of Hero when he first rescued him...
  7. Camera shy - as usual!! ?
  8. 'Looks like you enjoyed yourselves there! 'Just as well that you were able to make the trip before the City of Manila went into lock down...
  9. Image titles? Descriptions? Media used? Keywords? All are lacking... ? ? OK... Let's hazard a guess?!! One of the Simpsons characters? Bart? By any chance?!!
  10. Yeah... Well... Ummm... Let's all panic and pretend that, not only is corona virus 100% instantly fatal in all cases - but there is nothing else in the world that we can possibly catch and even if we did, none of these other diseases are even half as bad as corona beer, sorry, VIRUS!!!!

    And we are all going to get it and the end of the world is just around the corner?!!!    :help:

    Have another beer!

    Cheers!! :drinks:

    Interesting work... I see a snooker table crammed with balls, each with a little face on it. And the triangle thing that they use to arrange the balls, is full of broken ones... Or something like that?!!

    Awesome!!
  13. UK figures, rough, annual, from a quick Google search:
     
    Deaths due to flu complications: 600 - and anything up to 10,000 in a really bad year.
    Road accident fatalities: 1784 - about 5 a day, on average. Injuries, obviously, are way higher (160.378 reported in 2018)
    Deaths due to cancer: 165,000
    Deaths due to heart attack and other circulatory problems (including, presumably, stroke?): 165,000
    Deaths due to stroke alone: 32,000
     
     
    And for the USA:
     
    Approximately 1.5 million heart attacks and strokes occur every year in the United States. More than 800,000 people in the United States die from cardiovascular disease each year—that's 1 in every 3 deaths, and about 160,000 of them occur in people under age 65.
     
     
    I don't particularly want bird flu, or SARS, or corona virus - or any other kind of bug - but let's keep these things in perspective.
