:lmao Love the Informative video with the famous Terry Attenborough Jones. Looks like not many actually make it to Canada but are tempted by warmer climes and have adapted to a new environment.

they're not the Messiahs, they're very naughty birds. ;)

Oh dear can you believe I just googled 'can penguins fly' :lol:

One day...

It struck me that the "and rise" part of the title of this thread sounds a bit grandiose. I haven't transformed superhero style into some improbable new person. It's just that being a regular person is so much better than the drunk I used to be - that is all "the rise" meant. It wasn't easy to get there so there is a sense of achievement too. I'm somewhere between The Green Lantern and a dead cat bounce.

Saou, you reminded me of the fall and rise of Reggie Perrin :)

You don't sound grandiose at all, and with an avatar like that you don't look it ! lol

Congrats, Sao. A well-and-hard-earned milestone.
