On my own

[JPaul]

I agree with the Dutch lassie. Zoos are the pits.

[JPaul]

What do we think about Safari Parks btw.

[Something Else]

Safari parks are good if you want monkeys to nick your windscreen wipers.

[Skweeky]

Meh, keeping exotics animals in a north atlantic climate? Fucked up if you ask me.

[Barbarossa]

Yeah, best to just leave them in the wild where they can get poached to extinction, eh?

[Skweeky]

I have nothing against wild life reserves.

[Barbarossa]

I adopted a rhino once, it was being looked after in a wildlife reserve, the Garamba National Park in Africa somewhere, and I sent it £5 a month so it could get food and go to the pictures or whatever.

Anyway, a couple of years ago I got a letter to say they there was a war or something and all the gamekeepers couldn't patrol the park because it was too dangerous, and while they were away some poachers came and slaughtered most of the remaining rhinos, including the one I adopted.

I sure wish I'd saved up all those £5's for a plane ticket to bring him to Longleat

[Squeamous]

all on my own for two weeks

Hubbie is down south for his product training and I'm left on my own in a big scary house in Cumbernauld

Going down to Bracknell for the weekend though

Sounds like bliss to me!

[Skweeky]

Yeah, it's quite nice actually. Thursday and the house is still as clean is if it were Sunday. And there's no piles of washing everywhere.

Don't tell me you have to do your own farting now.
