Slightly off topic, when was the last time anybody went to a zoo?

It must have been 20 years ago for me, I don't see myself ever going to one again.


Not so long ago but then again there are a lot of youngsters in my family.
We gave the sfx412 enclosure a miss though. The guide brochure said it was shit.

I've not been for ages. It was never the same for me once they bought in the all-cheetah zoos.

I've heard that Berlin is supposed to be a good zoo.  Come to think of it, I did go to one in France about 15years ago in a town call La Fleche which was different and good.  No cages but big moats around the animals which were full of carp.  I think the Dudley one has scarred me for life.

I did something of a zoo tour (or "zoo-ur" if you will) a few years back and can confirm that Berlin's ticks all the boxes with its fat panda, angry rhino, beautiful settings and, of course, a wonderful gaggle of gibbons.

I feel I must defend the rhino here OB, he only became angry due to the persistant ringing of a mobile phone, he never struck me as an angry beast by nature.

A zoo can generally be measured by the velocity, distance, accuracy and venom with which the incumbent chimpanzees throw their own excrement at humans. For this, the Bronx Zoo, New York, is excellent (very angry baboons, too - although the evolution of the baboon hasn't reached the cack-chucking stage yet). But one of the best for sheer shit-hurling 'joie de vivre' is - surprisingly - Drayton Manor. Them chimps sure like to bung their turds at cagouled day-trippers in the drizzle.

I took my son to Drayton manor last year. A Monkey cracked one off leaving himself in a right sticky state. Dirty old bugger.

That you see, is the issue with all these gibbons and monkey type things, they have no grace, just make a lot of nice and hop about a bit.

Quite like the red panda in these places.

I went to Dudley Zoo last year.

Very disappointing, no dancing bears with tutus or elephants being beaten with metal bars.

Has Dudley Zoo still got that chairlift?  It must have earned deathtrap status by now surely, it's older than Clive Dunn.

I always thought that was very snazzy as a kid, like something out of a glamourous alpine setting in a Bond film, and then you realise you're still in Dudley.

No chair lift.

The whole place is shit and depressing in the extreme.

milner was shite, off the pace and a disaster, for whatever reason, to suggest he should be picked ahead of all the alternatives is idiocy even for here, unless of course he's shown he's fully recovered himself back to genuis best and none on here will know that.

As he represents Mon's late summer budget I hope he isn't given the chance to show again how poorly he was in the first game.


Mrs Overall strikes again.

Nice one Malcy, let's have another one!


on last night's showing his price just went through the roof and deservedly so, superb performance. Overjoyed to see Capello keep faith with him, pleased to be proved right again. where are those smart arses who ridiculed my view He was a Capello favourite and would possibly start the World Cup. No doubt cuddling up with the Gareth Barry haters. Talk about noise and no content.

Well, quite right too. In every other Zoo the primates have to climb the trees. Why should Dudley's get a chair lift?
