The woods near Fifty Shades star Jamie Dornan's house is a prime dogging location and it became even more popular since he moved there.

quote:

One resident told this newspaper: “The Cotswolds has always been known for dogging sites and there was a little bit going on in the woods before.

“But when Jamie moved here things ramped up. They were having a snoop at the house then going to the woods which are just nearby.

“That was two years ago and then there was a bit of a lull.

“But last week my partner was out with our dogs after work and he said he heard a couple. The woman was calling him Mr Grey, like in the film."

...

The sex spot near Stroud, Glos, is listed on a number of websites, with one plugging its “good views”.

After listing directions to the site, another user on Swinger-nation.co.uk says: “Walk right into the far corner of the woods where the houses are. Great for meeting etc.

“Also good views if that’s your thing. Well worth checking out. Also there are lots of entrances and exits to the woods, great not to look too obvious.”

Another writes: “Cool spot for voyeurs, great at night, views etc. Right over far side in corner.

In a previous job we had a client named Michael Hunt. Any time anybody needed to speak to him on the phone the caller would inevitably ask for 'Mike Hunt'.

One day, my lovely and very Christian colleague did not understand why everyone was laughing at 'Mike Hunt', and kept repeating it to himself: "I don't get it? What's so funny about Mike Hunt? Why is everyone laughing about Mike Hunt?" and so on, until we had to beg him to stop because it hurt from laughing so much :D

Massive crayfish that didn't exist 25 years ago are capable of cloning themselves -- and it's terrifying scientists

New invasive species discovered -- scientists flee in panic!

There are suddenly a lot of crayfish -- and scientists are begging God for forgiveness!

Self-replicating crayfish alert -- scientists can't stop screaming!

Scientists hurling themselves from buildings in suicidal crayfish mania!

There is a reason that sexual reproduction has evolved independently on countless occasions and is observed in the overwhelming majority of multicellular species.

Eventually some pathogen is going to come along and destroy the marbled crayfish.

emergency workers arrived on the scene and determined the wound to the eye was self-inflicted.

That's what I was thinking, if asexual reproduction is so great, why don't we all do it

Seems like they would be really vulnerable genetically, like Deliverance squared.

ABSOLUTE FUCKING GUDGEON

A co-worker was leaving and getting rid of his office aquarium, and I had always wanted a crayfish so I took the three he owned before knowing they were self-cloning and that I could never release or flush the dead bodies down the toilet or drop them in nature, as the shell can still release viable eggs. Instead, you must annihilate the corpse like it's some sort of horrid zombie creature.

Don't own them :smith: Mine murdered each other before cloning and I pulverized them. I was fairly relieved they had done themselves in, but it wasn't fun.

Nah they're tiny dudes, it's really deceiving. Like 3-4 inches. They're super-cute and easy to keep, you can even set them up in a bucket, until you come back and have more. The guy who gave me mine had apparently started with one.

I hadn't learned that last bit before I'd gotten them home and set up. He was a nice enough guy, but in his eagerness to not murder crayfish, he sorta hornswoggled me.
