The only time I went was a blazing hot day in the summer about 20 years ago. We walked past at least 3 cars left with dogs in them while their owners went to look at caged animals.Originally posted by NickFitz View PostI used to have a girlfirend whose dad worked at London Zoo. The only time I've ever been there is with the free tickets he gave us
That would be like me sitting in a chocolate chair.Originally posted by NickFitz View PostWe went for a drink in the Zoo staff club once, too. Sadly it wasn't as you might imagine, with lions sitting by the fire in comfortable leather armchairs

Ahem. If you'd looked closely, you'd have seen that wasn't a bell. It was a plated giraffe's bell-end.Originally posted by NickFitz View Post- it turned out they only let the human staff in normally.
The rope on the bell for calling time was a giraffes tail, though

Know what? I reckon you've never actually lived in a zoo at all. You must be some sort of research chimp. Or a Michael Jackson chimp.
Or ... a very big-eared, rebarbative, small child!

I hate being out of daylight. I get alot of SADOriginally posted by NickFitz View PostI've worked in a lot of places where you can't see a window.
I'm not sure whether it bothers me or not... I like being able to see outside, but I'm not sure I actually notice it when I can't

Now I am dosed up on a selection of painkillers, washed down with beer, the toothache is bearable.
