A lion decides he’s had enough of being photographed - and tries to steal a photographer’s camera. The lion and his pride had been followed by a film crew in Okavango Delta, Botswana, for days - and obviously decided it was time to have his turn behind the camera. The lion broke away from the pride and ran up to the camera before trying to drag the camera and tripod away. The photo was taken by British photographer and tour guide John Sobey, who runs horseback safaris for photographers throughout Botswana. He said: “He had a good look down the lens and we watched, amazed. It was only when he decided to try and bite them camera that the film crew got worried, and shouted at the lion, scaring him away.”
I must admit, my favourite drink at the moment is Sprite, it's not the most healthy thing to be drinking regularly, so I try to mix things up and have fruit juice too. Though I also admit that I drink rather too much Orange Lucozade too... I probably should cut down on that...
Sounds delicious to me.
Sorry to ruin your strange little world but animals eat animals, this is the way of the world. Meat is not murder. When an animal has died for you - given up its chance of life so you can eat it and then you turn up your nose at its sacrifice - that is murder.
The willingness of either party in the exchange is a moot point because in the wild, do you think an antelope is in any way willing to let a lion/cheetah/leopard eat it? Do you really think that the plants you mercilessly eviscerate to put in your holier-than-thou salad particularly want to be shredded?
Okay, so we don't give the food we eat a fighting chance but I'm afraid that is just how things are and I really doubt it'll ever change, I certainly know what I'd rather eat given the choice.
But hey, the chances that you'll ever read this are slim and the chances that it'll in any way change your opinions are even slimmer, so for now I'll just say all the more for the rest of us.

I've had the pleasure of reading pretty much all of the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett and I would happily recommend them to anyone that likes fantasy comedy. If you haven't read one of his books, do it! (And then read the rest... and tell them Nik sent ya)

Uk peeps!! Let’s get this going! 🏳️⚧️🇬🇧
Thankfully, tomorrow is Saturday, so my plan is pretty uncomplicated. I'll probably be getting up with Amanda at about 9.30/10.00 and then walking her to the bus stop when she goes to work before heading home and doing a few chores and then relaxing and playing computer games for the rest of the day until Amanda gets home... ah the simple life
Oh, and by the way, that Supreme Court ruling is where that Harry Potter money goes.
