OK, you asked for it!  Which of these alarmingly cute creatures would you like to keep as a pet?

It has to be "Monitor Lizard"...

First off, because our Jack Russell (Scrumpy) has such an unbelieveably long tongue, that his nick-name is "Bog Monitor"...

(The "Bog" bit is another story, as is the "Hover-Bog" bit...!)

And secondly, because throughout Group-Therapy Air-Guitar lessons, I keep putting one leg up on the ficticiious monitor...and then I promptly fall over...

Too much free-beer off of Northern Railway stations will do that to you, I tell ya...!

;)

None of these, no time for pets... Maybe Bush, so I could beat him up whenever I'm in the mood :D

Morseman: predictable.  Now why didn't I put the edible dessert tortoise as an option?

Maddox: I've seen a real Taz at a zoo in Australia and it was running around its enclosure madly.  I got it on camcorder but I think the tape is still at my parents' place.  They are certainly very strange creatures.  The one I saw was moving too quickly to really be able to see what it looked like.

As for Hoggie's stepfather, he's only dangerous with money in his hand at the betting shop!  Otherwise he's really pretty harmless!

Got 3 dogs so it would have to be the cute little pussycat (tiger), that could be fun!

LOL!!!  :D

Actually I can't remember the last time either of my parents moved very fast ... maybe only when being chased by a Tasmanian Devil??

Aah ... isn't that cute?  :-* :-* :-*  Wonder where Hoggie got the idea from?

Yup...we had a problem with Bin Laden the other day...

Then we realised that, because it was a Bank Holiday, collection wasn't due until the following day...fortunately, we all saw the funny side...

BTW, now the bin isn't laden any longer.

Ah, hold on...I feel a letter coming on..

Dear Mr. Bush,
     Put your garbage cans out for collection on time, and thus save the world.
               Regards,
                   Ann Elk (Mrs.)

Make sure that the cage you buy or construct for him to live in is uncomfortably small, so that he gets all cramped up.  That should make life truly horrid for him!  Buy a copy of "How to neglect your unwanted world leader pet" by Issa Kraptup-Worlde for more handy hints on world leader mistreatment!

Now, how did you find that article? Serious googling needed...

A rather odd proposal, but after having two kids by the guy already, where's the surprise?

Well let's hope she doesn't give birth to a baby tortoise!  LMAO @ the article!  Brilliant!

Were all the jewellery shops closed and only the pet shops open?   ???
