It was one of my 'must see' programs. Penelope Kieth suited and played the role perfectly I think. 

Upon looking at this month’s most popular musical singles chart in the UK, it may seem like it is dominated by pop stars and hip hop artists – but there is now a new kind of singer that is rising to the top.

A song called “Let Nature Sing” is currently ranked as the 11th most popular musical single – and it is a track that is made up entirely of bird sounds.

The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds released the track last month as a means of raising awareness for vulnerable bird species.

The soothing soundscape consists of 25 different bird calls, hoots, and hollers. From blackbirds and woodpeckers to warblers and robins, all of the birds featured on the track are endangered in the UK.

If you want to help “Let Nature Sing” reach #10 on the UK charts before the month is over, you can buy or stream the song from the society’s website.

'Good News In History' has been replaced with 'Magazine' - this new section will host general, informative and amusing stories & articles that will hopefully provide more interesting reading  :)

There is also a new 'Animal' section called Pet'n'Wild.

A 'Nature' section is also being planned.

A new survey examined how enthused 2,000 Americans were to exercise—and it revealed the weird and common excuses people give for staying home.

Most Common Excuses

Too tired – 63% / Too hot – 39% / Too cold – 39% / Too much work – 35% / Just ate – 31%

Walked a lot today – 27% / Recovering from last workout – 27% - That would be me lol 

Gym too crowded – 22% / Taking care of kids – 17% / Gym is too out of the way – 17%

Climbed a lot of stairs today – 15% / No clean gym clothes – 15% / 

I have a meeting tomorrow – 15% / I feel self conscious today – 14%

I just got my hair done – 12% / Picking up kids is my workout – 10% / Just got my nails done – 9%

(This one is my favorite) - My phone battery is too low – 10% - What ??? this one belongs in the list below 

Craziest Excuses

1. My cat is depressed / 2. I had to take my son’s bicycle into service / 

3. I exercised in my dreams - So that's why I'm still tired some mornings 

4. I stubbed my pinky toe / 5. My pancreas hurts / 

6. I took Viagra and am too engorged to wear workout clothes - I'm speechless - but my mind is in overdrive 

A simple headache, backache, cold or flu would have sufficed in a lot of these cases Lol

Pal (June 4, 1940 – June 18, 1958) was a male Rough Collie performer and the first in a line of such dogs to portray the fictional female collie Lassie in film, on radio, and on television.

Wonder why they didn't have a female performer .

Now I remember this song - but not by this group. Didn't a female singer do this one as well ?

This isn't the song I expected when I first saw the title lol

Never heard of this group and don't recall the song either.

Beautiful song :)
