GoodEgg 0 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 There's a piece in a newspaper today about this place and it reminded me as a friend is actually a member: The Muff Diving Club Muff Diving Club was set up in the late 1980's and has been one of the oldest and most successful diving clubs on the Island of Ireland. So if you're looking for a trip to Ireland and you fancy some diving, then Muff is the place for you, and this site is where you start. Muff is a village in County Donegal in the northwest of Ireland which has recently become part of the outer suburbs of Derry due to the continued growth of that city towards the north and west. It is located on the road to Moville, on the northern outskirts of the city and at the border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Muff has experienced a great growth in population during the last decade, which has seen people from Northern Ireland moving across the border. Link to post Share on other sites

brit-gob 9 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Argentina has riled the Falkland Islands by broadcasting a political advert filmed on the territory without authorisation. The advert features an Argentine athlete training in the Falklands ahead of the London Olympics in July. It ends with the slogan: "To compete on English soil, we train on Argentine soil." Falklands legislator Ian Hansen dismissed it as a piece of "cheap and disrespectful propaganda". The advert - broadcast in Argentina on Wednesday night - is the latest measure by Argentina to reassert its claim to the British overseas territory it calls the Malvinas. Cheeky!

grungy-gonads 54 Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 Freaky story of the day Thousands of pills filled with powdered human baby flesh discovered by customs officials in South Korea. Thousands of capsules filled with powdered human flesh have been discovered by customs officials in South Korea, it was revealed today. The are believed to have emanated from China and it looks as though the bodies of dead babies have been chopped into tiny pieces which were then dried in ovens before being pummelled into powder. The gruesome series of discoveries since last August has shocked even hardened customs agents who have pledged to strengthen inspections. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Oh my God! That is appalling!!

pie-eater 207 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Researchers claimed that dogs responded only to an audio cue such as a yawn even if they didn’t see the action taking place. The study found this was particularly noticeable when the dogs were listening to the yawns of people they knew Scientists suggested the findings, presented at the National Ethology Congress in Lisbon, showed canines had empathy to human behaviours. “These results suggest that dogs have the capacity to empathise with humans,” said lead author Karine Silva, from the University of Porto, Portugal. For their study, researchers selected 29 dogs that had lived with their owners for at least six months. -- Dogs are cool. And so are scientists, how do they decide what to do?

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 actually I read a scientific paper about how dogs can actually recognise human face expressions and tone of voice, which has basically helped them become "man's best friend". I'm a bit drunk right now to explain it properly (or find the paper again) but the article was really interesting Link to post Share on other sites
