Just saw an advert for a penguin documentary on channel 5, the tag line from which can be seen in italics below.


Imagine......

The boss has threatened to fire you, all the customers are shouting at you, Mary from accounts has got it in for you, it's been raining, the car won't start, you think you might be pregnant, you burned the dinner, your boyfriend dumped you, your brother is getting kemotherapy, you're worried about spelling kemotherapy, your AA never seems to hold up.

You then hear on the telly......

If you think you've had a hard day

Suddenly your attention perks up, they're talking about you, maybe not specifically, but you're definately being catered for. Can't wait to hear what they say next, something that will put your life, slap bang, into perspective and make all your problems seem insignificant.

"See what the penguin's been up to"


FFS, do they actually think anyone, who doesn't already have an interest in the goings on of artic birds, is going to be convinced by these words to watch the show?

Who writes this stuff? If you think you've had a hard day, see what the penguin's been up to. GET STUFFED MR PENGUIN!!!!!!

Not only I'm am I going to not watch the show now, I'm going to leave the telly on standy at the end of the night. Accelerate global pissing warming, and see how Mr Penguin gets on when his polar f***ing ice caps melt.

You obviously never heard what the wee penguin had to go through!

Firstly!!!!

The wee baby penguin has to go without food for upto 5 months because its mummy and daddy penguin are out in the ass freezing arctic ocean finding fish to regurgitate to them later.

And when they get back after getting chased by a big ass whale half way round the world, they need to find their little bundle of joy out of an island of thousands and thousands of them!

So the next time you loose that pot, just think about how the wee baby penguin is getting on in the freezing cold, with a bunch of other fluffy penguins wondering why the feck they have wings!!!!!!!!!!

you not like penguins then Tank ?         Sark is gonna be upset

Why dont the thick fkers move to Florida, its warm there :)

A wee baby trout has to spend all it's life underwater, imagine spending all your life underwater, you'd drown over and over again, how horrible.....

That sound daft? Probably coz a trout is a different species to us, a ridiculous coparisom, it's designed to go underwater.

Well a penguin is a different species too. Nature has designed it go for long periods of time without food in the cold conditions. You speak as if this is all some kind of injustuce, a wrong that needs to be righted.

That kind of attitude is indicative of a world gone mad.
You wouldn't be as sympathetic of the plight of the pricikly slimly spider. Priccilus Icolo Arachnipop It's all about the fluffyness and cuteness innit.

tank probably went over and stole their map!

how do they get the chocolate on them?

Have to confess, I hate that advert.... BUT,

I watched a penguin documentary (it was part of the planet earth series) the other day, and it was one of the most fascinating, inspiring, moving things I have ever seen on TV.

they send them by airyplane to mr wonkas choccy factory

Nothing against penguins specifically, just the way the channel has chosen to sell this. For sure they are interesting beasties, but it's like Bob Geldof and penguin aid with these people. Are there other ways to get our attention, or is this what we have all been reduced to?

The missus wouldn't let me do the standby thing anyway. She's one of those who insists that we disconnect the house from the national grid before we go bed.

Tank,

Well I don't want my children to have to live with solar power when then grow up!  Not much chance of that here!

Working with SP has made me very energy conscious

We could burn baby penguins to reduce our dependence on fossil feuls.

Penguins are renewable....

So are donkeys!

We don't fit in the fireplace.

Sorry folks

This is such a private joke that even I don't get it.  :dontask:

That can be changed

pwned!!! (never wrote that before)

So sweetness do you want me to remind you, and tell a funny story??

Well, many may not be aware,

but Thomas is a big WOMAN, and is scarred of bees.

And once left me unconcious in a room with a bee, as he ran from it screaming like a girl.

So if you buz in his ear, you normally get a very funny reaction.

I do encourage anyone who is sitting next to him at any poker event to do this, and they are sure to knock him out in the next hand, as he will be too busy wondering where the hey that bee is

You wouldn't be able to tell it and make it funny.

It was really a very banal incident really, some artistic licence would need to be utilized to make it any good.

Dont try and talk your way out of it with your "artistic licence" rubbish.

By doing this just confirms that it is correct, and nothing needs to be added because that is exactly what happened

I do not fear the bee, I respect the bee.

I respect the bee so much as to cancel out any natural chivarly instincts I may have.

You want spiders dealt with, I'm yer boy.

What do you think I got you to move in!

Is this a conversation by 2 people in the same house via blonde ??

Surreal..

This is the only way I get a conversation out of him these days!

We're very energy concious here you see Kev.

All the computers on, telly on, excuse me while I try not to trip over the Christmas lights.



(Sadly she doesn't wash the dirty laundry in public in the literal sense, I might have some socks.  ;D )

Here you go

This is what happened to the white ones he washed himself

I love penguins, they are one of my favorite creatures

i thought it involved batteries and plastic, i was preparing myself for the story.........
