There are people about who believe the story of Noah and his ark was a prediction, I've started to wonder, are they right.
The Bible ripped the Noahic flood story off from the ancient Mesopotamian poem 'The Epic of Gilgamesh', existing many centuries before the first biblical script was written down. ;)

Eee.......everyday is an education in 'ere innit?

Unlike you poor peeps down south, it is lovely here just now. Just back a pleasant 43 miles. Well, the weather was pleasant......the usual tired leg feeling maybe not so much. Popped up to see the guy that came off his bike last week and broke his collar bone......and no Covid police, I didn't go in. I stood at his door with a coffee and had a chat. :laugh:

One thing that had always troubled me is this.
How come the Polar bears went all the way north, and a couple of penguins waddled all the way to the Antarctic. And, how come the Kangaroos made it to Australia?
Also, how come the big cats didn't eat everything else on board? :whistle: Just saying.

When the garage waxed my bottom, they found another problem. The transmission oil pipe will need to be replaced when my car is MOT'd in January. I nearly fell of my perch when they said it would cost around £250 for the pipe. It's only a five minute job for God's sake. I can't see why it would cost so much for a bloody pipe. So my MOT will probably cost me around £300. <gulp>

Why did you break his collar bone?
