Sketchy cartoon of a middle aged couple sitting in armchairs in a living room, looking rather glum. Between them is an elephant. The elephant is thinking "Why do I feel like these long, uncomfortable silences are all about me?"

Banter is like sex. It is a two way process based on mutual respect and understanding. If you're doing it on your own, what you are is a wanker

Today’s poem is called ‘Meeting Deadlines’.
Meeting Deadlines   I always meet my deadlines. I don’t even have to try – They sneak up on me from nowhere, Tap my shoulder and say hi.   It’s you! I cry. So how are you? I did not think you’d come so soon. Can’t stop now but why don’t we meet Next Tuesday afternoon?   Or, better still, two weeks from now? My deadline shrugs and sighs. A fortnight on, we meet again, Much to my surprise. Brian Bilston

Today I learned where that weird "wolves are led by an alpha male" nonsense came from.

(I've known it's nonsense, but didn't know how the myth originated.)

I always like to remind , that the study of Alpha Males comes from captivity . Wolves in the wild just form useful caring clans www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-t...
