I shall be meeting my father-in-law for the first time on Saturday

In the old days at Terminal 3, poorly iced and packed fish would often leave their bloody trail across the floor.

Simpler, more trusting times.

I was once sent for a random customs check in Houston airport. I was stuck behind an African family who appeared to have brought the entire contents of their house with them - including what was in their fridge. There was meat, fish, cereal - all sorts. The customs lady took pity on me, took a cursory look in my bag and sent me through while they dealt with that shîtshow.

Or 'London Concentration Camp', as we like to call it more accurately.

In 5 years time we're going to look back at the way we used to imprison innocent animals and shake our heads in disbelief.

The penguins always seem to be having a grand time. No predators, not too cold and all the fish they can eat.

[Sir C]

Oh, yes. Arrives the same day. Same as sushi stuff from Nagoya. or what-have-you.

It took three weeks for my hat to reach me from Songo Songo

Leave it out, hippy. They are more arks these days, not prisons. Many of the species in zoos would be exctinct if it wasn't for the conservation work they do.

They have african hunting dogs in London Zoo. 11 puppies arrived at once the other year.

Feeding time is good. You can watch the keeper lob a chunk of antelope or something over the fence and watch them excitedly rip it to pieces.

I think they must've pinched that trick from having watched the sick lions being fed at Nairobi Animal Clinic*.


*Yes, Nairobi has an Animal Clinic

You know when animals do that frantic pacing back and forth, or sit rocking themselves? That's not normal behaviour. Those poor beasts are having a nervy b.

I'd rather extinction than torturing those poor creatures

Songo Songo would make the basis of a great movie. A speck in the Indian ocean inhabited by a hundred native fishermen and 300 bewildered chinese gas workers

Yes, that's Africans for you. It's considered rude not to.

Waste not, want not, I suppose.
