I really didn't like early Kate Bush, but now her voice has matured and she has got more jazzy I like her singing much better


I never really took to Kate Bush either. I've not heard her mature voice, which I might like, but I don't think I'd like the jazzy element.

Kate Bush? Is she related to George Bush? Or is it just beating about the bush?

I'd have posted this earlier, but I didn't want simply to act on impulse.

Fish have swim bladders that fill with air which adjusts with depth pressure so have their own hydraulic system. Tower Bridge is raised using a similar system but the fish thought of it first 8-)

I have that as well.
Unfortunately not controlled, but nice to know I won't drown though.

So if you fed them baked beans for a week, would they be able to fly?

The Hindenburg was designed on those lines & look what happened to that.

Edited from the Graf Zeppelin, I somehow don't think that could fly :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
