    I’m sitting in the waiting room at Nepean Hospital ER and am amazed at the number of overweight fat people that are here, many of them are young (20-30).

    Lots of bogans, too.

    Amazed to listen to a Micro Plastic pod cast yesterday suggesting some observations that plastics might be at least part of the reason people and (wow) animals are fatter than we were previously!

    Link if you're a science nerd Unsupported browser


    Skip to minute 15 for that bit

    The animal bit was the most interesting or suggestive bit.

    Don't get me started on the "food" thing James. These days, if I have to read a label on something I don't eat it. I spent far too long poisoning myself. Staggers me the crap people will eat just for convenience.

    Writings on the wall?

    I went to try and defer a little run with a few thousand other nutters on Sunday. Met a gentleman who has run all 45 Melbourne Marathons and is one of just 3 left alive or still running his 46th!!!!

    Was that or my name on the wall the "Writings on the Wall" the message to not be a slack sod and not run? It was supposed to be a sub 4 first since I slowed down five years ago. Suspect it will be a slow Sunday stroll for this Black Duck

    White Lion - 300 years ago

    Hannah Twynnoy was working as a servant in the White Lion Inn when she died on 23 October 1703 (Perhaps) the first person to be killed by a tiger in England

    Tiger victim's 18th Century headstone restored in Malmesbury (bbc.com)

    Triva How many people have been killed by tigers in England?

    Possibly just 2!


    Tiger attacks in England are extremely rare. There have been a few notable incidents:

    1. Hannah Twynnoy: In 1703, she was reportedly the first person in England to be killed by a tiger. She was working at the White Lion Inn in Malmesbury when a tiger, part of a travelling menagerie, escaped and attacked her1.
    2. Rosa King: In 2017, a zookeeper at Hamerton Zoo Park in Cambridgeshire was mauled to death by a Malayan tiger while she was cleaning the enclosure2.

    These incidents are isolated and not indicative of a common occurrence. If you have any more questions or need further details, feel free to ask!

    Same question for Oz? Perhaps 0. Close this year? "Melissa Reynolds, was bitten by a tiger at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast. She sustained serious lacerations and puncture wounds but survived the attack"






    Thats trivia unless your name is Melissa perhaps
