    @taniwharugby That might be a young one practising or something?

    You probably know this, but sea otters float on their back with a stone on their chest / belly and smash shellfish on it. They sometimes have a favourite stone apparently, which they can carry around under their "arms" somehow. They have a type of flap or pouch that they can store food or their best stone. Not that many animals use tools. Parrots, the crow family, a few others.

    Very cool critters.

    @Snowy I'd say it's just showing off.

    Yeah Otters are pretty cool though.

    Saw some burger chat above. I'm a bit late to the game, but I predicted it go down the ..

    1. Fergburger path
    2. Mention of at least one person saying their home made burgers are better than Fergburgers
    3. Mention of at least one talk about refusing to queue for burgers.

    I wasn't disappointed!

    Absolutely love a burger, but tend to avoid these days as too fat, which is a shame. UK burgers are very marmite. Some are superb, whilst others are utter dogshit. I can't think of a single time I've had a burger here which I thought was ok/fine. My biggest bugbear of burgers are those places who think a burger is meat in a bun (sometimes with cheese and tommy sauce). Yes, the quality of the bun and meat very important, but the freshness of the salad & the sharpness of the sauce/pickle are absolutely crucial as well.

    Off piste a bit, but I think the best burger I've ever eaten was on a slightly hungover hot sunny sunday. A fish burger from Hsin Hsin takeaways in Hamilton east.

    that's food authenticity right there - should have a goddamn Michelin star or two.

    This has thrown me down memory lane, did you ever eat (even reluctantly) from Stu's pie cart, known as the river city diner.? Jeez stumbled out of the pub a few times with nothing else open so eating there. MSU even did a song about it....shout out to Rohan Marx lol, great times.. burgers were terrible but for soaking up booze, luveryly

    That's a good point. Back in student days, there would have been no taxi being caught!

    My house was on 6 Armagh st near Boys High so that was the mission back then. Plenty of times a small party would happen after town closed there. I don't remember the house ever being trashed either. I also don't know why my folks left the house to me either.
