That man seems to be sitting backwards. Does he know? I suppose, with the trunk and the tail, it can be hard to tell...

Thanks, Waffles. Sticky stuff, melted butter.
I do like muffins though.
Finest of all toasty comestibles.

I second that!

Although surely nothing can surpass the glory that is tearing at fresh bloomers, impailing and holding firmly beside an open fire and waiting deliciously for the spread of choice........

Any bromide going for this tea?

*tea accepted with gratitude*

They were about 10 yards away, or maybe a bit more, so the camera (a Sony 2.3 MP compact) was at the maximum optical (3x) and digital (2x) zoom. I was very pleased with the way they came out, as they looked a bit rubbish on the LCD.

A valid point on the Hi-Viz, but Whipsnade is only open during daylight. Annoyingly, they ban most forms of wheeled transport in Whipsnade. No bikes, skates, miniscooters or rollerblades. Just cars. Mostly feck-off great 4x4s and GalaxyGrandVoyagerEspace megatrucks.
Perhaps the ellyfants need hi-viz after all.

I think you'd be better off putting a spot of tea in your bromide!

If you had a trailer for the baby elephant you could train him/her to trumpet at signs of idiot drivers! Probably louder than an Airzounds methinx?

OK then, more tea for my bromide then!

Excellent idea!

For real impact, you would train the Mum to follow behind. Obviously, she might be a bit slower (unless she ran everywhere) but that would be good, because you'd just have caught up withthe pillock, and already be arguing the case when Mum arrived behind you to back you up. I bet most drivers, faced with a stern Mummy elephant, would admit fault.

Now I'm imagining Mummy elephant following along on a 'bent trike!!

 

[wafflycat]

How nice of you to dream of me!

 

[TheDoctor]

I should point out, my muffin has salami in it..

Each to their own, Arch. Each to their own.

I prefer my muffins plain, as I really like the taste of them. I've also had good experiences in the past with bananas in muffins. Cucumbers are a step too far IMHO. But salamis...*thinks of nobbly texture and slight tingly feeling due to garlic and spicyness*

That's got to be worth a try.

I bet it would be bent, once she'd sat on it...

Doc - bananas!? Ugh. I mean, I'll eat them, if there's nothing else... When I was a child, seaside outing involved a packed lunch, and not-getting-out-of-the-car-to-go-on-the-beach-until-you'd-eaten-all-your-lunch,(the beach was down a cliff path, so we had to be accompanied) and lunch included a piece of fruit, and I'd only eat banana, grudgingly. So even now, I won't eat one unless I think I'll get a trip to the seaside out of it...

If I may interrupt the flirting between Doc and Arch, can I have some lemsip please, down with 'Flu.

Proper 'Flu not man flu

 

[TheDoctor]

*lemsip handed in appropriate direction*

Let me chuck another log on the fire. Shoes off, on the sofa, and I'll find a blanket if you like?

 

[cookiemonster]

Ooh Ta!!
