        Indeed... although they haven't quite completed the rebranding at the one I'm currently sentenced to.

          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.

          That would be like me sitting in a chocolate chair.

          I reckon lions would read the Financial Times. <--- this warrants revisiting later (which paper does each big cat read?).

          Ahem. If you'd looked closely, you'd have seen that wasn't a bell. It was a plated giraffe's bell-end.

          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!

          Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

            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
            I hate being out of daylight. I get alot of SAD

              Funnily enough, I hadn't thought of that.

                  Your late arrival at the CUK do meant that you missed part of the discussion that SP and I were having.

                    I had to look that up - that's the second word that CUK has taught me since I joined.

                    I assumed it was some monkey thing, linked to the barbary ape, but I was mistaken.

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