If anyone else wondered who the young girl was standing next to Prince William on the podium, here she is.

People had been left delighted by Greta's enthusiasm and she caused a sensation on social media. Pictured meeting manager Sarina Wiegman

 Bless her, a day she’ll never forget.

Lovely to have something happy to read in the papers.

Google are launching a new AI search feature.

I'm sick to death of AI already and feel it will create more problems, some potentially catastrophic, then it will ever solve. Yet it is being welcomed with open arms.

I was reading about young teens turning to AI chatbots for advice about things like bullying, and then take that advice without question, and see the bots as being their friends.

"People are increasingly turning to AI chatbots such as ChatGPT instead of traditional search engines to find quick, simple answers to questions, even though they are not always accurate."

 AI are also willing to kill humans as shown in a new experiment. I have started a new thread about it (which you are welcome to reply on nod) Waves olive branch! If you don't I fear no.one else will!

 Sorry to show my ignorance but why are soldiers from the so called "Great War" buried in Gaza?

There is a cemetery dedicated to them which I suppose has been blown to bits,? That is very sad and disrespectful if so.

Gaza War Cemetery contains 3,217 Commonwealth burials of the First World War, 781 of them unidentified. Second World War burials number 210. There are also 30 post war burials and 234 war graves of other nationalities.

Some of the cemetery's earliest burials were made by British soldiers involved in the battle for Gaza with the Ottoman Empire in 1917 and 1918. During the Second World War, British Empire forces - mostly Australian - ran a number of hospitals in Gaza.

In 2006, the Gaza War Cemetery was partially damaged by an Israeli missile. Israel paid £90,000 as compensation.

 6 years ago and more, they were saying it was nothing more than an open prison.   Which as you can see was far from it.

It would seem like Shangri-la compared to what it is today.

"Arab and Muslim states including Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Egypt have for the first time issued a joint call for Hamas to disarm and relinquish power in the Gaza Strip as part of efforts to end the war in the territory."

www.cnn.com/2025/07/30/middleeast/arab-league-hamas-gaza-israel-intl


For the first time since Hamas defeated Fatah for control of Gaza, there is a chance for some peace. If the Arabs of the Gulf states can rid Gaza of the trash known as Hamas, there is a chance for peace..

A zoo in Denmark is asking pet owners to donate their pet rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens and even horses to be fed to the facility’s resident carnivores. In a Facebook post, Aalborg Zoo promised that all animals would be “gently euthanized,” then used to mimic the natural food chain. ”If you have an animal that has to leave here for various reasons, feel free to donate it to us,” the zoo wrote. “The animals are gently euthanized by trained staff and are afterwards used as food. That way, nothing goes to waste—and we ensure natural behavior, nutrition and well-being of our predators.” The zoo also said it would welcome horses in need of putting down. While some slammed the initiative as “sick,” the appeal was generally well-received, with zoo deputy director Pia Nielsen explaining the practice is common in Denmark.

 At first reading it sounds awful, but if the pet has to be put down anyway, it makes sense.

 I agree. If a much-loved pet’s passing can help sustain another life, then why not? Along the lines of a bereaved family agreeing to a loved one’s organ donation.

Circle of Life… 💁🏻‍♀️

 The Danes are practical people. Why waste a perfectly good animal. I do wonder how they put them down without chemicals that one would think could harm an animal that consumes them? 

 

I'm fine with a bolt gun to the head, but I wonder if others would want their pet put down that way? 

 

I would like to round up a bunch of feral cats and feed them to some zoo animals. Unfortunately, coyotes don't come into my neighborhood much to keep their numbers down..😉

 The only time I have seen feral cats in on holiday in places like Spain and Greece. They are partially tame because they are fed by many holidaymakers, so they don't have to hunt around for food as much.

In your area, would it not be possible for a vet to administer some form of contraception in the areas they frequent most.

 

Here's a cheery fact for you..." in just seven years, two unfixed feral cats can produce up to 420,000 kittens."

I would never feed any pet of mine to animals. Horrible.

When they died, I scattered their ashes in my garden.
