Well..it's like this Suzy... it's gotta be somebody's fault, so it might as well be you, simples! ;-)

If we give you lots and lots of chocolate brazils, will you agree to take the blame?

Don't forget the cake too...lots of it!!!

Just exactly how many is lots and lots? ... I'll take an adult Elephant's bodyweight in Milk Chocolate Brazils and if you throw in a few Curly Wurlys and a couple of bags of Tangtastics then you can blame me for just about anything you like!!! ... ;o> ... ;o> ... ;o>

theDuke wrote: "Don't forget the cake too...lots of it!!!"

The Cake was a non-negotiable condition and a foregone conclusion surely? ;o>

Hmmm?! Might be needing GG's truck to shift that lot! Mind you...his truck's been playing up of late......can I send you an IOU instead?!

How about we just dump Suzy in the chocolate brazil factory and ship in the rest?

If she ate that much...we'd need to seal her in a lead lined room, cos she'd be 'glowing' from all that radioactivity!

Mind you...at least she would be positively radiant enough to be her namesake!

I vote we go with Gingerlily's suggestion to start with and then re-negotiate terms later ;o>

I would be delighted to care for and to belong to all the Elephants.

(When I was a very young child, an older child, I begged my Dad and Mum to let me have an Elephant to love and care for. I even went round all the neighbours on our side of the street from one end to the other, asking "please can we knock down a bit of your garden wall so my Elephant can get in and our of our garden, P-L-E-A-S-E".
Cruelly I was denied my wish even though every neighbour agreed!)

Might have to make two or three trips - can only get 26 tons on the truck :)

Oh please, enough about elephants!

yeh, elephants is wack! :)

anyhoo, time for my annual rant about fireworks - why in the name of the wee man do supermarkets sell these dangerous items? be as well selling cigarettes to toddlers, booze for babies! i will spend the next week comforting my dog, wrestling her into her 'thundershirt', and even medicating her to combat the effects of wee jakeys firing off fireworks in the street. on a positive note, our local council is not holding the annual public display (having a light show at a local castle instead - 'illuminight', catchy huh?), but i fear this will drive the use of fireworks underground, well overground, and the wee jakey quotient is likely to rise to even more unbearable heights - and why do certain fireworks have to sound like the apocalypse? no need!
rant over, carry on!

Little fizzy whizzies are one thing - but those huge booming Mortar Bomb sounding ones terrify everyone and everything! ... I often wonder is it only just a Firework I heard? - or has our Village Centre just been bombed out of existence?! ;o<

We have one little hairy woofer, Mitzi, who is absolutely terrified of any excessive noise and one, Tia, that simply couldn't care any less even if World War 3 was going on all around her.

We have experimented with all sorts of things now and have been very happy with Nutracalm® by Nutravet over the last couple of years - it really does make such an incredible difference.

As far as I know you can only get it from your Vet? - so you would need to act fast to try to get some in time to try it out over the worst of the Fireworks during the next week or so.

We have our fireworks on Halloween in Ireland, and it really sounded like a war zone out there on Monday.

Gingerlily - Mistress Lantern wrote: "We have our fireworks on Halloween in Ireland, and it really sounded like a war zone out there on Monday"

Ours started around a couple of weeks ago and will probably last in fits and starts until around mid-November! ... then they will all kick off once again at Christmas, New Year, Twelfth Night, Burns Night, Chinese New Year ... and including many of the Jewish and Muslim special days as well ... plus if it is anyone's Birthday in the meantime! ;oO

And to celebrate a record year of profits for the firework companies?

Ohhh yeah! ;o> ... and then there is also occasionally the typically bored and rather drunk group of lads who think it is an absolutely 'banging' idea to use up any left-over ones they still have at around 3am in the morning in the middle of the Summer Holidays.

It ends in day today and so it MUST be Firework Day! ... GRRR!!!

Elephants?

"Freeeee-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Suzy Sunshine Sev'n"

Fireworks?

One positive thing about them, IF you don't mind watching them as a spectacle on Divali, Bonfire Night, New Year's Eve etc, their aerial nature means at least you never have to buy any yourself!

Fireworks are illegal here in Ireland.

I was at a big horse fair yesterday, with lots of travellers selling awful tat from their laden stalls, when came a whisper "want to buy some fireworks" :0 From a stallholder.

I didn't buy any, and somewhat regret it now.

That's just made me think of the Barras, Timtim... "Cigarettes, Tobacco, Viagra..."

Re fireworks, I wouldn't mind them so much if people only let them off on the 5th November. Instead of that though you hear them from mid October right through til the New Year. 😠

Heard a few around here, but they're fairly rare.

Sadly no Guy Fawkes night here, for obvious reasons!

There have been an awful lot of illegal bangs going off round here for the last few weeks.

As I said to Jemma a few days ago it makes as much sense as going up the garden path with a wheelbarrow full of fivers and setting them on fire. Our current two dogs don't bother too much but our last dog a collie cross was very nervous at the best of times but fireworks were a nightmare, walks were limited to daylight hours only for two or three weeks over that period. I do feel a bit two faced about carping, as a young boy I was a prime offender with bangers etc.

Ask any Firemen how much they enjoy the 4th of July~

Yep! - our UK Fireman all understandably dislike Bonfire Night here. Even the most organised Bonfire Night Displays need to have constant and very careful supervision.

You need to stop walking near those dogging sites.

Have you been dogging my footsteps?

that'll make a dreadful mess on your shoes!

Anyone climb Mt Everest? Anyone have a death wish?
Did you know it takes more than one day for the climb?

Bad enough climbing our stairs! 😎

😊

The worst thing about climbing Everest is getting all the way to the top only to realise that you have completely forgotten what you came up for ;o>

A elephant get a bit of help.

Now you have to collect your "bodily function" waste and bring it back down the mountain. Up until recently you just squatted behind a rock. Just think if you took an elephant as your pack animal up Everest!

I should think so too! ;oO

You'd need a very large Pooper Scooper and Bag for your Elephant though ;o>

Not too difficult if it's solid, less easy if you have the Himalayan hops...

Don't they also take 'boil in the bag' food up there?

That's just asking for some nasty confusion.

An Elephant with the shits must be like an industrial sprinker system.

Hippos are worse, as they deliberately use their tails to spread it around over as wide an area as possible.
