During a rabbit hunt, 300 of them were released and instead of running away, they went straight for him. As it turns out the rabbits where tame and not wild, they assumed he had food. Napoleon had to get into his coach and run away.

Hi @Pete2
Did you know, that I know nothing about what has been posted on this thread!
Should I have known about the earth rotation speed?
Even more scary, I was devoid of the knowledge that a cat has been voted in as Mayor in the USA!
Can someone please expand on which of the seven dwarfs, has aired their disconcerting voice.
As we speak, I am half way up Everest and can confirm, I do not see any fish or fossils up here.

Hello @pollyanna1052 Thanks very much . For comments. I just want to say I am not.
Never been on this all information and snippets, titbits gathered all those years as a collector of all sorts of things.
When you start moving around in the social circles of meeting collectors. Many always have useful interesting stories and share their knowledge.
As well as meeting many times. Music people. Not the main ones but the back ground crews, the cutting crews, the back up singers. Of music and film.
Then sometimes meet people who were there at the very start of music and film.
Had the connections to Elvis for one example. Met a few of his songwriters.
The same with my trips to Liverpool in the Eighties met so many wonderful people and collectors.
Every one in Liverpool of a certain age has a Beatles or a Mersey beat story.
You forget films and TV today multi billion dollar industry. .
Who then and continue to do so spent a lifetime obsession try to get the series of a TV programme. Viewed as entertainment in the Sixties.
Then either wiped or destroyed or just tossed out into the skip.
This included Dr.Who. The Prisoner, The Saint, The Avengers and so on.
Top of The Pops whole years have been wiped. From the Sixties. Most of Dusty Springfield's series has been wiped.
Thanks to them we have and can enjoy the programmes once again.
I have attended film fairs and much more. Often the stars of long forgotten. Sci-Fi films and animation. Would turn up just to be amazed and stunned to talk to these people.
I have an interest in Soul Music.
Northern Soul Stax label and Motown.
Met a few of the lesser know stars. Edwin Starr lived in the UK.
In the Nottingham area. Used to visit with a former friend. Who was a DJ was actually a record producer worked with the early days of Radio . Radio 1 .
Then you go to Blackpool and meet people. Those interest in Soul music is fascinating . Used to do the all nighters as they were called in the Sixties and Seventies.
At mecca venues like Wigan Casino or The Spoked Wheel Manchester.
The Palace Blackpool with its moving dance floor.
I used play at school trombone and this got me interested in Big Band, Swing, Jazz and got me meeting those people.
After school. Carried on. For a while.
The more music knowledge is obtained and you just spend times with people sharing.
You have these put away in your memory banks your filing cabinet. Some have written down before.
Take care.
