[domtyler]

Oh yeah, happy birthday Mickle!

 

[Arch]

Careful Arch, it looks like he's gonna ask for a birthday s**g!!

I can think of two different sets of missing letters....

I'm sure it means 'swig', a Birthday toast perhaps?

Fancy a curry and a s**g?

The slightly bonkers Chinese student visiting the department just look over my shoulder, saw that pic, and said "awwwwwwwwww, so cuuute! It look just like you!"

I'm not sure how I ought to feel....

So Mickle, you got partying plans then?

 

[laurence]

maybe it is you! were you in edinburgh botanical gardens last week?

 

[Aperitif]

That's not a stag mickle - that's a squirrel!

 

[Arch]

Actually, I've just noticed the way the tail looks like it has a really random sticky up hairstyle, maybe that was the similarity...

But I don't think it was me, no....

 

[laurence]

did someone say stag?

did someone say stag?

Holy smoke! I think a s**g might be safer!

 

[Arch]

did someone say stag?

Awesome! Something a friend of mine said once, when you stop to think about it, it's amazing that each year a stag drops its antlers, and they regrow, but each year, they increase the number of points. So the antlers 'know' how many to grow back at each time. That's an efficient bodyclock.

BTW, I love the squirrel pic, esp the way the little bits of seeds are falling to the ground. Did you take that?

 

[laurence]

not only did i take it... i gave it the nuts to eat... it snaffled them from my hand. i also took the stag pic. chances are, if i post a pic then i took it.

i will look for discarded antlers when i go to richmond park

hoorah... it's the birthday squee come to congratulate mickle....

Are you sure that's not a glove puppet. There wasn't someone kneeling very close to it was there?

 

[laurence]

i was kneeling very close to it... but it's real, i have the footprint marked jeans to prove it.

i did stroke the belly of one of them as it munched, so were very tame.
