Oh,Solo…his knees were a blur and his elbows were going like bees wings.
But,slowly,bit-by-bit,I edged ahead…my ol’ Landy doesn’t give in to threats from ‘merciful’ and ‘loving’ gods that insist church steeples have lightning conductors! YERWOT?!?
Yer never know with these vicars though. Not all are saintly. Some of em have those blades on their bike wheels like those Roman chariot thingies used to have and they say a prayer and drop em when you least expect it… and zip goes yer tyres.
You ave bin warned. 
thank you Jem - just see wot you’ve done know - a road mania competition and takin on the church - 5 hail marys for you tonight laddie
erhm - watching “he family” with robert de Niro ; Michelle Pfieffer etc - very funny and quicky and set in part in France!
Yuk de Niro and back to Zoos. Blame Pug for side tracking
No matter that we need zoos to keep some species on this constant exterminating planet of ours but I have never cared for them.
The last time I visited one, the animals looked as miserable as anyone would with only a small amount of allotted space. Heartbreaking especially if you have seen them in their natural habitat.
The only ones that seem to be genuinely happy are the Meerkats and that is because they don’t give a toss about anyone or anything. Meerkats rule and they know it. Love em and their attitude.
what about the keepers they seem to enjoy it? - we have free roaming camels [got lots of them wanna some?] and elifunts that give rides to the kids- the keepers sometimes let out a lion cub to roam around and amuse the punters - nah zoos can be fun!
Camels are as bad as Meerkats for not giving a fig about anyone and will give a killer kick just to remind you in case you forget. They also have a set of nashers that would be the envy of any Grand National winner and a bite to match. 
Good on breeding zoos to save species though. Odd thing is with so many ads on TV with donate to this or that animal for a year and get a free stuffed toy, plus personal paw mark, plus dictated update, you would have thought no animal is now in danger.
well at least the animals in the breeding zoos are having a breeding good time! you can’t beat watching a couple of polar bears banging away at it!
I beg to differ.
Being a chaste midden I have never been close enough to see a couple of polar bears banging away. I need a lie down in a darkened room now. 
when did you ever watch polar bears bangin away at it? - antartica?
Anyone here remember Goldie the Eagle?
Became a vaunted and beloved celebrity by escaping…unlike Ronnie Biggs.
oh sorry spittie just re-read your post - so what does beat this??
Good old Goldie. I’m still pondering if Spits had hallucinations from Fox Glacier mints. He’s been seeing things…y’know… thing things
What are you banging on about? My doorbell is broken:mrgreen:
I remember Eddie the Eagle, does that count?
anyfink that can mount another eagle has gotta be good - yeh?? mind you I did watch to koalas bang away once - god they nearly fell out of the tree!
Whatever happened to 'what goes on in a tree, stays in a tree ’ even if they did nearly fall out doing whatever it was they were doing in that tree !!! :shock:
Scuze me you lot…;OI,Sweety Flan…‘banging on about’???
Oh,THANKS.
Goldie was a male eagle wot escaped from London Zoo ‘n’ buggered off t’Regents Park for 12 days in 1965. He was WORLD FAMOUS in parts of Londinium,a well-known Roman settlement…and went on to become a selly-bratty tourist attrakshun. INNIT. [tut…these kids know NUFFINK]
it takes a lot to amuse Londoners ; less so the angliers but eagles buzzin about is the hoots toots - robins on garden shovels is also very exctin too! :shock:
So no-one knows where the Eagle landed Pugsy Ears?
Hold on, who has sweaty palms? My fingers keep slipping.
