Don't think i'd have risked saying that evYou're very .
Have a good weekend all!!!s

hello all...been away at work...anyway.. I HAD to pop on and tell you a story I am assured is 100% true. One of the blokes i work with, well his daughter teaches/looks after autistic kids somewhere in the south of England. Anyway they went on a day trip to a zoo, and when at the end of the day they went to count all the chilren back onto the coach they found one them was soaking wet. They couldnt get out of the him what had happened or why he was so wet, and as they coach driver was in a rush they just put him on the coach with the intention of sorting him out/drying him off when they got back to the residential school.

My mates daughter doesnt live on site, and went home leaving the residential staff to sort out the children for evening meal, bed etc.
She had just walked in the door when the phone went, it was the school.
The conversation went womthing like

"you know (name left out for obvious reasons) was soaking wet?"
"yes"
"we know why now"
"why?"
"you'd better come back and see"
"cant you just tell me?"
"no, you need to see this"

So she goes back to the school, is met by the other staff and taken to see the young lad in the heads office. There in the seat is the young lad....and on the floor is ................wait for it........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ A PENGUIN!!!!!

he decided he wanted a pet and went and got a young penguin and put it in his rucksack, fed it on his own sandwiches.....!!! hehehe!!

As I say i am assured it is 100% true, happened this week. It made me giggle!

I hardly like to ask how big the kid's rucksack was!

I mean, can you imagine it?

"Look what followed me home mum!"

Priceless Spike

Apropos my comment to S'hhh, Sal - I hope it'll come under the heading of Special Dispensation for the Terminally Insane ( me, that is!)

Penguin, anyone? Onna stick?

Can anybody recommend a really good shampoo for my pelt ? Something with lots of herbs and spices and flowers and stuff ? No ? Anyone ?

Bites lip, doesn't say a word... but chuckles quietly to herself....

?

Gives on the grounds laughter shouldn't be stifled and s off screen clutching sides in mirth

gives a new meaning to the add, when you feel p.p.p.peckish p.p.p.p.pick up a penguin!!

So... you recommend penguin shampoo then ?

Personally, being a bit of a herbalist, I'd recommend Wolfbane or aconite... but not necessarilly for you!

Penguin shampoo is fine...( after all... you can p-p-p-pick up a penguin most places!)

Oooh! Hallo Spike - you perisher! I didn't see your post up there!


And there was I thinking I was being witty and original!

Ah well!

Typical, Evadne being last.... conversation grinds to a halt....
..... KEEP UP, WOMAN !

I dunno... one slip in 3 years here (on and off) and I'm dubbed slow!

Brightens persecptively

Nuffin wrong in being slow...and thorough!

Oooh, Baby !

Ah...

Not such as conversation stopper, after all.

I am puzzled to report that we appear to have fireworks - or at least, an attempt at fireworks - on the sea front. Obviously the carnival fortnight has begun and no-one has seen fit to inform me

If you need a huge banger.....

Is it me - what with finally getting Broardband after all this time- or has this thread expanded considerabably widthways?

I don't like to ask Son No1 who is currently talking gentle pornography with whichever little dolly has just rung up - he'd only tut and put the question down to general technical incompetence....

And before you ask - no, I'm *not* listening to his conversation... but I know my son!

Tut tut... I'm more into those Roman Candles... Silver Rain, or similar.

A large banger is all very well, but why does one need to make a racket????

It does seem to be off the page doesn't it ? maybe thats all broad band is. Oh.
