Stand By Me is a fantastic move. A classic "coming of age" movie, it was the film that set River Phoenix on a path to stardum before his untimely death a few years later. Made in 1986, still worth a look.

Re River phoenix... Did you know his parents maned him River Jude Bottom ??? Poor thing. River was from a story about the river of life, Jude after Beatles song Hey Jude, and his father's name was Bottom . No wonder he changed it .......

Did not know that, some parents (especially showbiz types) have a lot to answer for.

A crow caused a black out? We have had possums cause power failures in the past, but never a crow (that I know of), how long were you without power?

Yep Lost ball . At our local course, on a certain hole, the bags etc are left while the player has to walk a small distance to the tee. The local crows have learned to unzip/undo the pockets on the golf bags and steal sandwiches , bags of sweets etc from them lol . A player can go hungry for the rest of the round . Also. of course, pick up the balls as well Another cause of lost balls

Saw this and it reminded me of your post coffeelover

Back on leeches, I had one behind my ear once after a bushwalk, not as big as the ones in those films, but big enough. My mates started panicking and talking about putting salt on it, burning it with a match etc. etc. I just said to leave it alone it will drop off when it's full and I no sooner said that and it did. It was full as a goog and was about the size of a 10c piece. I've still got a little scar where the sucker latched on.

the mind boggles when the modern medicine uses leeches these days .

I won't If they don't get me, Jaws might..... Am caravanning at the moment. In a little town in NSW called Guldong. Old gold mining town . Was pictured on the first $10 note . Interesting old buildings . No spiders, leeches. Just imagining the old fellows coming along in their mining gear
