    I'm quite happy to play the Attenborough role but not the Chalobah one.

    It seems the Chalobah role is now to work the tills in the club shop.

    Was he promised a ‘big money role’ at Vicarage Road?

    Always read the small print.
     
  3. Info: Golliwogs are representations of old fashioned American minstrels, and stem from a time when, even in England, people would black their faces, dress up as minstrels (or like golliwogs) and join in carnival parades of sometimes hundreds of people doing what was rather quaintly called 'N****r Dancing'.

    I love golliwogs, and the one I had as a kid never incited me to attack any of my mates at school or work, or treat them as inferior, but I am awfully glad he is not sitting on a stool opposite the front door when anyone comes round for a surprise visit. Its not necessarily the golli, but the association.

    Its a bit like Gary Glitter's old singles. Not harmful in themselves necessarily, but they are always a reminder of that gruesome, disgusting ****.

    Lol. You idiot. Madagascar is a made up place, from a Disney film. It's like Shangri La, Xanadu, Timbuktu, Tipperary and Swaziland and has entered the general parlance as a sort of fantasy land.

    While the others are famously made up, magical and mythical places, Xanadu certainly exists. Olivia Newton John was born there.

    So is TUT a made up character?

    A Buzz Lightyear of the forum?

    Or one of those robots who obsess about WFC?

    Is Meister allowed to reveal which of the posters are androids?

    Kelso, I would say, demonstrates strongly human characteristics but, as for the rest of us, who is to say?

    GT’s ‘direct’ was 4-2-4.

    Dyche’s direct is 8 big lads milling around their box with Barnes standing up front in a different postcode.

    They should really be playing in a separate, parallel Pulis league.

    We have a CL finalist & a Brazilian wunderkind upfront. They have a Kiwi farmboy who last scored at the Vic with his face.

    0-3 the Clarets.

    Still smarting from your thread asking people to share their jolly japes not being the runaway success you desperately craved? Slightly worrying that you now search out my posts in other threads to comment on.

    Narrow win to the 'orns btw. 2-1, with Hughes and Pereyra scoring.

    after seeing the state of the crossing last weekend, I am not sure that will end well...

    Swaziland is real. I bought a nice watch from there once.

    March was Borneo. May is Greece. October is Madagascar. Keep up. How did you know about Madagascar ??

    Orangs in Borneo, Lemurs in Madagascar. Proboscis monkeys were also great in Borneo - rarer than Orangs and the only place they are found.

    Coincidentally we stayed in the in the same room he had used when we were at a lodge in Kinabatangan River. Not very special. No plaque :). He had been filming a piece on the Gomantong caves nearby, bats, bat guano, cochroaches, wierd crabs, poisinous centipedes, swifts etc. Was an amazing place, heaving with bugs and ammonia !

    You are right, I have been scammed. Melman and Mort Travel company ...i should have smelled a rat. or a giraffe.
    Talking of rats, I have loads of them in my loft and garden but not sure how to get rid of them. Poison may affect our cat (if he eats poisoned rodents), traps aren't working (inc my version of the 5 litre bucket trap....google it...).

    Really? When I went up the Kinabatangan I couldn't fart without a proboscis monkey smelling it. They were everywhere.

    I only saw one orang, who hurled racist, anti Greek epithets at me from a nest atop a tree.

    They hate Hellenes.

    Are you sure they're not lemurs?

    The way to tell us that rats are quite bold creatures, but lemurs are too shy shy.

    Not searching them out. Just noticed you on your ism hobbyhorse again. Thing is we probably agree on most of it. Just have different ideas on how to achieve the ends.

    I'm not desperate for anything. Just thought it would be fun. Still could be. But not if it's a one-man-band. So we'll see.

    I guess your suggested scoreline is something of an olive branch. I'll go for 2-0. Doucoure and Okaka. I've no wish to continue the feud any further either.

    They are very visible along the river (they stay there at night as its safer - they can leap into the river if a cat goes up the tree after them !) but that is pretty much it. The protected land is actually a pretty narrow strip either side of the river and there are few other strongholds on the island and nowhere outside Borneo. ps they can pick up any fart within 3 miles with those noses.

    I'm off to a gibbon sanctuary tomorrow. Wish me luck! Hope to see a funky one.

    Win your home games and beat Huddersfield, it will put you on 49 points, so Burnley will probably only need 3 (superior GD) or 4 points to finish above you.

    That would surely guarantee us a top 10 finish. Dyche keeps on about "gradual" improvement - I don't think he wants to set the bar too high this season because it will make improvement harder next season.

    Seventh would be a poison chalice. Leicester are welcome.

    HAHAHA win our home games.
    This squad is already on holiday, lucky to get another 3 points the whole season

    Saw gibbons in Borneo too !
    Hope you see one doing a dance that could be the rage.

    I saw them in Borneo too, but that was pre children. I want my kids to be excited about wildlife.

    I'm in Phuket, heading to Khao Lak tomorrow.

    @PhilippineOrn yes I know these are also made up places, for phone pranks and puns.

    Has to be said it has been a phenomenal achievement this season for Burnley, and in fact last, under Sean. He's a great organiser, great motivator and all round great bloke so while the football isn't that pretty, there are very few on here who aren't enjoying seeing Burnley do well, though a point less that us would have been preferable. Next season will be interesting. Can the players reach the same heights ? How do you top this season ? How would fans react to a 4th/5th bottom finish ?? Complacency starts setting in ?

    The trouble with Borneo and Madagascar is that they're being chopped down.

    I had a mate from Harrow way back in the 70s/80s. Name of Phil Hurrell. Don't think he was an 'Orn. But he was a birder like me.

    He rocked up (in Borneo I think) at the same camp as Attenborough and his crew. They were trying to film gibbons in the tree-tops. They had all the kit to get Attenborough elevated but not a whole lot of ideas of how to use it.

    Luckily Phil's occupation was tree-surgeon. So he offered his services and had Attenborough swinging about (safely) in the canopy with the tail-less ones in next to no time.

    And on the strength of that encounter he then worked with Attenborough's crew for a decade or more.

    There has been no poetic license used in the relating of this tale.

  32. What?? Cambridge is Xanadu?

    So that's why Ikpeazu transferred there - to get a rhyming name...

    The International Animal Rescue are having a 'Cakes for Apes' event from April 20-23rd to raise funds.
    They have sent me a letter.
    I'm not a very good baker,as Mr IBB likes to remind me,but I'll have a bash.

    I'm no Dianne Fossey, but I believe cakes are bad for apes. Your well meaning friends will do more harm than good and we'll end up with a bunch of obese gibbons and bonobos falling out of the trees with type 2 diabetes whilst a bunch of women from the shires congratulate themselves on their good intentions.
