That seems such a shame that all you kids were so disappointed. They could have at least told your school they weren't quite ready

I hope you have a great day out Mike

I'd like one of these

Cute kitty!

I'd like a penguin, please, Mike. Can you arrange that?

Hope you have a grand time...

I hope you have a great day out Mike

My favorite zoo EVER is the Edinburgh Zoo. They take their penguins out of the enclosure and on a little walk every day. You can practically TOUCH them! I have some great pics from that....

Was just about to say I had recently seen some great pics of the penguin parade at Edinburgh zoo.

A bit of a penguin fanatic, I am. For my 50th birthday, my husband is supposed to take me on an Antarctic cruise, so I can commune with the penguins in person.

Mike ... please smuggle me out a baby elephant ....

I understand how difficult it would be to hide an adult one under your jacket ....

I bet you cried watching Happy Feet then ...?

I actually resisted watching Happy Feet forever (it's a cartoon, after all). I DID cry during March of the Penguins, however.

Aww i loved happy feet too, infact i like all the kids movies ive had to over the last few years as my son loves watching them and he makes me sit and watch them all too, not that im complaining cause i've loved it, hope u enjoy the zoo mike, i take my son every year to edinburgh zoo also take him to the saffari park in stirling and he enjoys it as much as i do

March of the Penguins ....

You really HAVE to watch Happy Feet ... you will cry, but then how can you not cry at cute animated characters teaching a lesson about how we are destroying the planet ...?

I love them too ... I only ever properly cry at kids' movies ... I remember going to see The Lion King in the cinema and I sobbed uncontrollably when Simba's father was killed ... It was quite embarrassing, but I just couldn't help myself ... That was before my daughter was even born ... The last one I cried at was WALL-E ....

I have'nt watched wall-e yet, my son saw it at his mates but wasnt to keen on it, theres a few ive seen that ive enjoyed barnyard, open season, garfield and theres loads more i just cant remember them all it takes me back to feeling like a kid for a few hours sitting with the wee man giggling away as some of them can be quite funny

Mike

Have lots of fun at the zoo today but take a coat as it looks like it's going to rain

Can't wait to hear your tales as I know you will have us in stitches

we took sproglet there when she was 9 months old, she'd only said stuff like 'ma' 'da' by then but when she saw the penguin parade she started shouting 'birdie' she's never shut up since...

have a great day mike

Well, it might in Cornwall, but is very unlikely in Edinburgh.

Lori you really have to see penguin parade on Phillip Island just south of Melbourne in Australia - the penguins come home from the sea at about dusk - for any penguin lover it's truly magical

Lori

It was only Lorraine buying me an ice cream that stopped me crying ..

I love the lil fellas ...
Im going to have to snaffle one for you next time when they turn up ....
I promise ....

the Lioness licking /cleaning her lil baby cubs was magical ....

regarding *our* Holiday ..
Yeah I will handle the cold ok ...as the bar onboard our cruise will be serving Rums/brandies ...lol
I wish I had had a mobile or cell phone as you colonial cousins call them..lol
I need to get one ...as I have no friends now

its pointless ...
but with the camera I could share pics here with my online friends ..

No penguins I'd have asked for my money back
