Why are some colours popular surnames eg Green, White, Black, Brown but not Yellow, Red, Blue?
For a long time people only used one name. At some point they started using a last name, and in many cases it was selected based on a person's occupation. Thus, John the Blacksmith became John Black or John Smith. Maybe the other surnames are associated with occupations as well?

Red is seen in Reed/Reid , Blue in Blewett , Bowie is seemingly from the Gaelic for Yellow
But mostly for characteristics or descriptors. ie Brown haired Al became known as Al Brown and Al that had a job as a greenkeeper became Al Green.

Really important news on news.com.au:
-Carl Stevanovic had to leave work after only 40 minutes due to the flu. Important!
-Sinead O'Connor has converted to Islam as she is sick to death of the way the Catholic church treats women. Woops!
-Both Harry and Magean have chronic diarrhea.

Totally agree.
I recently put my dog in boarding for a week and was shocked at his state when I picked him up. He was clearly distressed and I feel quite shitty now for doing it as he is a beautiful companion and would have been beside himself not having the family around him. We underestimate (or don't give a s**t) about the impact our actions have on these wonderful creatures.
It’s funny, a dog only has you in his life but you have many people in your life.
Such wonderful creatures, how anyone can harm one I have no idea.

Don't they normally house them with other dogs ? ....not always compatible & that can cause distress
There are businesses now that offer to "billet" you pet out to a host family .....the family is well researched and they have a pet that's compatible with yours

No. I specifically asked for him to have his own run. He's a peoples dog so even if I he had other dogs to play with, he still would have fretted. Next time we are going on holidays he either stays with a family or friend or we don't go. I wouldn't put him in a boarding kennel again.

There’s a pet hotel by the airport, I think they probably get a bit more time 1 on 1 and better conditions. Would hate to know what they charge though.

Seriously you jailed this woman for killing a man who not only raped you, but was threatening your child ......why is society so centred on protecting "scum" .....who gives a F...k about the feelings of his family, who BTW I doubt had much to do with him anyway
Give her a medal .....and FFS Free Her !!!

getting super pissed off with supermarkets, they just seem to find ways to be complete *******s
I have been buying a burger bun for 12 months, but now the absolute *******s have discontinued it and replaced it with their rip-off cheap crap tasting bun. why do they need to bring the quality down for everything.

If it gets them out of the house it's a good thing right?
Just makes them obese
