Hi Oldles,

Could it be that old Paddy was a charlatan, and there never have been snakes in Ireland for millennium.

Was a tad surprised to know they were wallabies there. I thought maybe you were referring to the Australian rugby union team.

While visiting the Beijing zoo once, we were advised that they kept kangaroos there, but that they were
very loathe to leave their shelter. We checked it out. Sure enough they were out of sight, but on hearing
our voices they emerged. Must have recognized the Aussie accent.

Case of nicking our wildlife and selling us their c$%p electrical goods.           Bruce

Hi Les,

Guess you are right but suspect said chap acted vicariously on behalf of Gentle J as he went to spread good tidings or some-such - not yet convinced as Ireland is still trying recover from excess zeal.

Hi Bruce - gather elephants are now up for dibs due to the fall in worldwide oil prices. Gather going price is £30k per beast plus food at 50kg of something or other per day.

Would stop other chums grinding down their bits for chess pieces - well, half of 'em - Chris.

PS - Thanks for your thoughts re. those fuses, would be nice to recycle board and flog it again.

OldLes:
As you may have gathered, we have a Wildlife Park here, and some wallabies escaped many years ago. The area is the Ballaugh Currachs, a damp and flat area. Untill 60 or so years ago, it was "farmed", but allowed to go to pot. (No, not that sort!) Willow trees quickly invaded the whole area, which all makes good cover for the Wallabies. Apparently in the breeding season, they queue up by the fence hoping to share something. Until that same 60 or so years ago, the island was populated, infested maybe, by "little people", and stories still do the rounds. There is the church whose roof was blown off, every time it was rebuilt. Can't remember which fairy did that, but all the true manxies know.
If you like a good fairy tale, a book was written a few short years ago entitled "Fynodderee". Don'y know if downloadable, but a good read.
Back to Wallabies. I hail from Staffordshire, and it is well known that one "Sir Phillip Brocklehurst" had some wallabies which escaped and became feral on the Staffordshire Moorlands where they could be seen for many years. However, I am told they have now died out due to inbreeding.

Well, sadly for the wobblies and Irish folklore, none of this helps poor Sam with his Sony.

Hi Bruce and well said, as ever.

Perhaps there needs be a fresh column for such folks, where if they stray from the current point -

eg - Fun thoughts, plus - Historical/Hysterical remembrances, might be placed 'Somewhere' on the site for a short but justly revered period of time.

Suggest it's called 'Fynodderee' or some such, as serious mending folks won't tie it in with anything too serious, like duff Eeproms and Vestel.

Suspect 'The Isle of Man' is simply 'Phin Mc'Cool' fantasy - probably doesn't exist at all.

Reported - He chucked it there some while ago, after an argument and unknown glasses of the hard stuff.

Prosperous New Year to all Quuq Folks - Chris.
