Toilet trouble for space station
International Space Station astronauts are eagerly awaiting the arrival of shuttle Discovery - it is bringing a new pump to mend their broken toilet. The station's urine collection unit, as opposed to its solid waste unit, has been malfunctioning for several days. I am really worried, but now I understand why the rain has this slightly yellow color and I find brown spots in my garden ! Don't worry if you have the same it will be repaired !

Wild side makes parrot speachless
A parrot who never stopped chattering lost his voice after four days' freedom in the wilds of Cambridgeshire. Harley, an African Grey, used to call his owners "Mum" and "Dad", could recite his telephone number and was never lost for words.But after four days in the wild he appears to have lost his tongue and has returned traumatised, skinny and mute. Apparently freedom is not always good. We should send some politicians "in the wilds of Cambridgeshire" !

Coronation farewell to QE2 liner

The Queen launched the QE2 in 1967 and last visited the ship in 1990
The Queen has marked 55 years since her coronation by waving off the luxury cruise ship that shares her name. She launched the QE2 in 1967 and the Queen was in Southampton on Monday to pay the ship a final visit. The QE2 will be retired in November to be converted into a hotel in Dubai after more than 40 years in service. Please note : It has nothing to do with the QI of the Queen !

  2. How do they know the skinny silent bird is the SAME bird who was released??? If he doesn't LOOK the same and he doesn't ACT the same - maybe he is NOT the same! (I'm just sayin'...)

  6. I was wondering the same thing as Melli. Maybe it is a different bird? Unless of course it was banded.
