CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

Nothing really, nothing at all. It did seem to repel elephants though, since I bought it I haven't seen a single one.

Are they all married around your way then?

Ooh, sharp as a razor tonight Choccy. Nice one.

Collective noun for elephants - herd.
What about Goldfinches?

Our dentist has a tankful of fishy things in his room.
And what's with the bubbles coming from behind those rocks jeffie?

Hey go on then Socks..

A Charm of Goldfinches, now isn't that nice?

Certainly is.
Fancy a bevy?

A nice hot cup of tea would be delightful, Darjeeling I fancy, with a Belgian Bun and fresh cream.

I see JeffMack was having an animated moment last night....

Saves having to check he's still ok sat over there in the chair I suppose

Socs has swallowed a book on collective nouns or something equally impressive
and useful for your local pub quiz night - you never know if offered enough of
an incentive he may be available for coaching

Morning Bunnie - not sure about keeping anyone in order, but it's always nice to see you so cheerful :)

world of finance?

Fat elephants put on the treadmill
From: From correspondents in Anchorage
September 15, 2005

THE Alaska Zoo in Anchorage is home to what is believed to be the world's first elephant treadmill.

The zoo took the unusual step of installing the 6m by 2 1/2m treadmill to help Maggie the elephant fight the battle of the bulge.
At last weigh-in in August 2004, Maggie tipped the scales at 4132kg - about 450kg overweight.

Zoo director Tex Edwards said the elephant could learn to use the treadmill to lose weight.

"Every time we've undertaken to teach Maggie something new she has always learned it faster than we anticipated," Mr Edwards said.

Zoo officials said one challenge facing captive elephants was making sure they exercised.

In the wild, African elephants spend their time foraging for food. To simulate that experience, Maggie now has to reach for her food.

Don't fancy a red wine Bunny, wouldn't mind a hot chocolate.

It`s to warm for hot chocolate opto,,more of a white wine sort of day .

I like hot chocolate Dave but it probably is too early in the afternoon. Glass of white then please.

Yuck - don't like white wine..well not unless it's sweet and sparkling :>)
No I'm definitely a red wine person, so you can have a bottle to yourself
of the white stuff whilst I'm tackling a bottle of the red!
:>)
Afternoon Dave - how's it a-going?
Is Wales sunny today?
