I think by “crying” Mark actually referred to Carol’s disguised attempt to protest the score. I personally found it funny.
Crying in any other sense is welcome whenever one needs it.
I should get some minus points too, by the way. Didn’t know what on Earth that was, and I’ve actually been to the Natural History Museum in London. :oops:
Actually I wasn't protesting the score I was just saying it looks like an alien. The body and tail look like they should be a dinosaur and the fins look like they were wings and then the jaw/head just looks wierd. Once I read that it was a whale I could see it. But it still looks like an alien [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]

Coffee break!
In light of my recent reading (“A Cheetah’s Tale” by Princess Michael of Kent), here’s a cheetah on David Letterman’s show:
“Our” street dog from Turkey, the one who adopted us, was part Anatolian Shepherd:

He’d follow daughter to the park and scare away any strangers. He was very suspicious of my visitors. He hated cats but never touched mine, even though it was clear he wanted to. One more dear friend we had to leave behind.
Oh shame. That is so sad that you had to leave him behind.

Good morning all. I'm racing round trying to get organised for the next few days.

One load of laundry done, the second in, the ironing pile is growing.

Paperwork for tomorrow's full day of school governor meetings finally completed.

And then Wednesday to Saturday I have the trade show for my other (IT) forum and I'm trying to make sure we haven't forgotten anything!

I'm off to physio again shortly. Hopefully this will help me survive until next Monday!
Good luck. Your book sounds really full. I also hope the physio helps.

With this realisation Super-Turtle started putting the pieces together. In Scotland Nkosi was suspected of occult activities near Loch Ness. Could it be that Nkosi was dabbling in necromancy? He may have failed at bringing back the Loch Ness monster but could he have brought back an army of Ghost Shrimp?......
Super-Turtle knew the only way to battle the supernatural army of Ghost Shrimp summoned forth by Nkosi would have to be an even stronger force of power from the Unknowable: VOODOO!!!!!! Luckily, Super-Turtle knew of some giant water rats in New Orleans: the HOME of VOODOO!!!!!

The Super-Turtle lay a trap of sugar cane and called in a horrible voice: “Nutria! Nutria!!!!” (For that is how you summon a water rat.) And of course it worked: the giant water rats in New Orleans were just too common now for one of them not to stray into the trap. The moment the Water Rat started to chew on the sugar cane with those bright orange teeth of hers, a cage door fell shut. “You’re in my hands now,” said the Super Turtle. “Or flippers. Hm. Never mind. The fact is, I will send you to that fancy restaurant downtown New Orleans that serves the nutria unless you help me.”

The nutria kept chewing and said "mmbywddchnt?" Super-Turtle scowled, "I did't understand a word you said! Are you going to help me or are you going to be Nutria Gumbo tonight?" (Which just goes to show that your mother was right when she told you not to talk with your mouth full: it's not only rude but people can't understand you.) The nutria stopped chewing long enough to say, "Mebbe. Whatchoo want?" Super-Turtle explained the problem. The nutria swallows and said, "Sho-nuff, cher. You keep bringing me sugar cane- younger shoots, please- an' I'll fix yoo right up wif a swimp voodoo doll that'll do the trick!"
