Thank you Anna – you are most kind and it is much appreciated.
I second that!
The “A fascinating mystery …” was very interesting.
It casts new light on that world-famous image of Miliband Snr.
It may not be a banana he’s holding, maybe it’s the bone that would make him more of a prick than he really is.

shows how well-endowed Mr Raccoon is!
Of course, I checked Joe’s link and it had me in stitches …
Oh, and I now realise I should have read the “fascinating mystery” to start with. Well it’s late and time is short. Note to self: start at the beginning
Darn! I keep coming here hoping that you’ll link to me, only to see that tonight you’ve directed people to that imposter, Dick Puddlecoat.
Time to get yer cote Dick, time to get yer cote.

Thanks Anna. I have to say, it was great fun
Belated thanks, Anna!

I had no idea that raccoons were such adept tree climbers, they evidently spend all day so far up the tree that you can barely make them out.
Unlike Clowns who spend their day so far up their…..that you don’t stand a chance of making them out………
What have I done to deserve Raccoon abuse?
Still, it makes a change from abusing myself!
