Eating insects on TV

It bugs me the way they eat insects for so called entertainment. I know you can eat them if you are hungry, lets face it TV stars are not exactly in need of insect nourishment. Ripping the heads off them then spitting the heads out. I feel sorry for the little guys, life ended, bang! I just didn't join in the laugh about it.....    

Apollo 16 Man

Shaking hands with Charlie Duke of Apollo 16 the 10th Moon walking Astronaut, on Saturday 20th October 2012 at Pontefract Yorkshire. A very nice picturesque area with friendly, helpful locals. An interesting speech followed the picture taking session. It could be the last chance I get to see one of the Apollo programme Astronauts. Charlie was a Lunar Module Pilot and completed a lot of long geology sessions on the Moon surface and  drives in the Moon vehicle. The sessions of sample collecting reached  72 hours in total, $1 million a minute.  He spoke in complete honesty, with an air of humbleness. All this was a surprise from my brother for my 60th birthday, a wonderful thought. I couldn't wait in the queue to have my photograph signed by Charlie as we had to catch the train back home. The weather was perfect and our train connections went without a hitch. The Moon landings were a big part in my life history, and were an amazing technological and human achievement. If you ever get the chance go and see one of our great modern explorers, I would recommend it.       

Goodbye 50s.......

Goodbye to you 50s,
I saw out the fifty year decade today, it's 1.00 am Sunday. Stuffed with medicine, what a bad virus this is. How I loved my presents, my little granddaughter opened all my cards and packets, she just loves the excitement. What more could I want from my 60th Birthday? I am surrounded by the people I love, unforgettable really, no party or stuff like that. My  bus pass arrived yesterday, no fumbling for change, no worries about prices of tickets. I never had a party on my 50th Birthday either as my mother died that very day. It wasn't important then after the shock. Anyway on with the 60s........
