With me blood thinned out so much, the bruising looked like a tank had run over me, very multi-coloured.

Today I shall be driving all the way to the Zoo, paying gawd knows what to get in, dragging around the aforementioned Zoo with a child that has no interest in the animals, buying an expensive lunch in the aforementioned zoo that the aforementioned child will not eat and then driving all the way home again... ::)
That's silly, all kids hate Zoos after they've seen the 2 or 3 animals that make you laugh or scare the poo out of them, so do most adults. 

Couldn't you just have dressed up in a tiger outfit for 5 minutes to take 2 photos to convince others and then go for the happy meal or pizza they (and you) really wanted?



Well, whatever, nevermind

Ah Steve my boy ..... you miss the clues ..... This "Treat" has been decreed by LL and Daughter to entertain the grandchild. Silliness doesn't enter their thinking. The Zoo is somewhere that Grandpa BM (Poo-Poo) can be trusted not to get sh*t-faced due to the lack of alcohol/his usual cronies. It is also in keeping with "Tradition" ~ something that the female of the species sets great store by ~ As it is also traditional to arrive from the UK winter and head to the beach and get burnt by the sun/sea/wind on your first day despite warnings from their host, so it is traditional that towards the end of the holiday they get taken to the Zoo. That this seemingly boring and silly ritual is religiously adhered to by the females involved making it a "Tradition" is explained by the fact that it has been established in their tiny minds as the "Right Thing" to do. Nothing other than the closure of the zoo will now change it and should the zoo close then they will sit around talking about how wonderful it was, comparing photos of it and generally bitching that it has now gone.
I bring you this little insight into the werld of BM gleaned from several years of watching and wincing at his fruitless attempts to avoid the annual rituals.

Ah   lol: lol: lol:

I am (thankfully) very unknowing in the ways of all things offspring.  Years ago I got this great line from a guy in the RAF "can't stand kids, had enough of them when I was at school" and I realised I wasn't alone. 

So in BM's position there would be a danger I'd toss them over the fence into a suitable enclosure (hopefully not tigers but then thinking bout it . . . .) nip off to real pub returning only to pick up what's left of aforesaid kids from the only Zoo visit they will ever find interesting.

Well, whatever, nevermind

Despite having sired 5 (admitted) children I tend to agree ~ There is little about children that is likable.
I love my own but nothing in the deal said I had to actually like them.
