I'm still unsure how socially acceptable that is (widow and widower and not blood relatives). My wife's friend married her cousin. They're no longer together but it still amazed me when I found out as I assumed it was illegal in Scotland. A former work colleague and his brother married a pair of sisters. I got great enjoyment from pointing out that he was his own brother-in-law or that he was uncle to his own kids etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got this huge piece of twisted metal on display, which turned out to be a girder from the World Trade Center. When I saw it I got quite overwhelmed and was on the verge of tears - I had to sit down for a few minutes. No idea why as I've seen the footage countless times in documentaries and never felt that way before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, has any poster on here ever been mistaken for food by a wild animal? Has any poster on here mistaken a wild animal for food and it turned the tables? Have you ever had a square go with a whale?

Cool wee program, but I'm guessing most of us will end up in the briny South of NZ..
