Just saw this in the paper!!

An explosion in Toronto's stray cat population is the latest phenomenon being blamed on global warming, joining a growing list of evils that includes increases in hay fever and seal mating as well as decreases in the supply of maple syrup and Bulgarian prostitutes.

OK I'll buy the increase in stray cats, I'll accept that hay fever is on the increase, I'll take their word for it about seals screwing their brains out, I'll even believe that maple syrup supplies have decreased but WTF has global warming got to do with a decrease in the numbers of Bulgarian Prostitutes?

Something to do with ski resorts and an absence of snow. Do try to keep up!

But that is not logical captain ~ animals wanna f*ck no matter what the weather ~ as the seals are proving.

Have you actually read the story. Go on a ski trip. Too warm, no snow, feel a bit randy, engage service of a Bulagarian prostitute to fill the time. Perfectly logical!

[Misunderstood]

ANIMALS wanna f*ck all the time???? 

I thought we were the species famous for that inclination.

I saw some groundhogs at it the other day. Lot of grunting. Hard to explain to The Boy.

So why then the decrease in prostitute numbers? Are they melting or just worn out and going home?

I'll re-read the story.

[Nick]

It means the prostitutes are in the wrong places, a bit like the rain in WOrcester.

OK?

Anyway, here is a chance to post other bizarre (alleged) side effects of "global warming"

[Snoopy]

Ah!

But not everyone's love life has been improved by climate change. Brothel owners in Bulgaria are now reportedly having trouble attracting workers. The owners claim the best prostitutes have moved to ski resorts, where they entertain tourists who cannot ski because of a lack of snow.

It took three read throughs to grasp that bit ~ now there was I thinking they were all over here claiming benefits ~ which is a far more likely explanation than Global Warming ~ which everyone is now agreed (except the Canadians apparently) has been replaced by Climate Change.

Who would have thought it?

The early summer deluge may have proved a dampener for holidaymakers but the wet weather has guaranteed a bumper harvest of one of the world's culinary delights - truffles.

Mmmmm 

Roger Jones, a chef, has already returned from a successful truffle hunt at a secret location close to his Michelin-starred restaurant, the Harrow at Little Bedwyn, near Hungerford, Berks. He found two kg (4.4lbs) of truffles in 20 minutes, with the help of his son Richard.

The 11-year-old is nicknamed Piglet because of his ability to feel around for the valuable ingredients with his feet. Mr Jones said: "There are enormous quantities out there at the moment if you know where to look. We barely had to move around to collect them and we could have found even more if we had tried harder.''
