Me too Boo. Just look at the lion's eyes, he looks doped up.

Words fail B00, folks, get your tickets here! It's the greatest show on earth since The Bearded Lady! (He he he, Robinia says I have the memory of an elephant - she could be right!)

...but anyhoo: I'd better not show that piccy to my eldest sis or she'll be off to Argentina before you can say Siegfried & Roy.

Belated happy birthday to you, B00!

I can't be the only one who wants the itsy bitsy pussy cat to suddenly turn and eat the human.

Or sit waiting for the Matador to get his just reward.

Or for the running of the bulls to change to humans running for their lives.

I would love to go cuddle a lion, stroke a bear and take a wolf for a walk ('specially the last one) but at what cost to the animal's health and dignity.

I will will stick to the throttling of the pussy cats.

Just saw Sweedie's name up in lights!!...got diverted here.

Hi B00, that poor creature looks like one they had in Skeggy when I was little, I had a picture taken sitting on it's back.....'cept it wasn't real.
Sorry I've obviously missed your birthday, so a Very Happy Belated one xxx
I trust cake was involved :o)

[swedeheart]

(I saw it too late in my calendar, Robinia. It was on the 28th.)

[B00]

lol yes, it was- the 28th. I'm a year closer to joining the BiddyBankers now ;-)

And oddly enough, no cake this year (yes i was shocked too!) which is just as well really, if you couple the cake along with the copious amount of booze I drank I'd be detoxing for the next 5 years.

One of my biggest ambitions is to cuddle a lion before I die - but not at the expense of the animals health or dignity. Actually having my head bitten off by a lion might be quite a nice way to go...........................

[Rosetta]

I hope the lion is suitably hungry.

[ELVIS68]

It`s a stuffed toy, I won one of those at the local fair

If I`m wrong then the lion`s obviously depressed at being called Alan therefore allowing people to stroke him

Also agree with the "words fail me" bit...that`s a first ;o)
