I've heard about these cults Ted
lot's of people wearing black, talking about how the messiah is going to return and save them

That's the great thing about
Catholicism. It's so vague and no one really knows what it's about.

I love little lizards and geckos and the like and while I'm sure that isn't one, I love the work 'skink'

I think it's just a lizard, but 'skink' is a wonderful word.
There were loads of them and they seemed to rather enjoy my croissant crumbs. Much fun was had.

That is indeed true.
I shall bear that in mind the next time I go to the old people's home. Or the zoo.

I have recently started considering Madeira as somewhere relaxing and sunny to go
but then they ruined it by ordering the wrong kind of weather

pfft
yes. it is lovely, especially if you want to go somewhere nice and sunny that has almost no possibility of 18-30 type scum shouting in the streets and smashing bottles.

I'm not sure what the situation there is at the moment, with flood damage etc
but it is really pretty, has some rather magnificent hotels (for acceptable prices, though others that are too posh), the fish/seafood is excellent, and they have a tradition of serving "steak on the stone" which consists of a mostly raw steak served with a superheated volcanic rock, so you cut bits of and cook them to your taste. Most tasty.

I would imagine most things there will be cheaper as a result of the flood.
Disasters = BARGAINS
I've just booked up to go to Haiti for a fortnight.

Ooh, yum.
So is 'Steak Madeira' actually madeiran, or was it made up by foreigners who don't know the trick with the rock? (Admittedly I do prefer it made with Mavrodaphne).

I'm not familiar with steak madeira
but googling suggests it may just be steak with Madeiran sauce... don't know.
The rock thing would never work in britain... imagine the outrage:
"CHILD BURNS FACE ON HOT ROCK IN RESTAURANT"
"RAW STEAK SERVED IN RESTAURANTS MAY OR MAY NOT BE DANGEROUS TO HEALTH"
"MAN BURNS COCK ON ROCK, SAYS: BRING BACK BRITISH TRADITIONS"

All this and lizards too!
I wish to join in this reptile love-in. Reptiles (and amphibians) are the bees knees.

I think it's why there are so many lizards. Lizards hate proles, and wouldn't be seen dead in Agia Napa or Ibiza

I hope that lizard could swim
and was not weighed down too much by wine and croissant.

I've been there recently
I didn't see lizards, but did see a dislocated knee

There are similarities.
After my recent knee surgery when I got the bandages finally off the skin underneath looked remarkably scaly.

Geckos are lovely
my ex had one, but he had some disease that meant his feet were all manky

My sister
has a water dragon, two gheckos, a chameleon and a tortoise.
Quite the reptile house.

I would love to have one myself.
But I can hardly take care of my cats and finches let alone providing for rarified reptile needs :( We nearly got ourselves a tarantula once but the kids wouldn't let us.

My sister has a tarantula too
but it was an accident - it is a baby tarantula that came in a box of crickets for the dragon!

I think it's the logistical problems more than anything.
Both Mr Bunny and I are very busy creatures and often away for days on end. The cats can more or less take care of themselves as the neighbour leaves food for them but finding temporary sitters for my finches is hard enough and all they really need is seed and water top-ups.

that's the way to do it.

in other news, congratulations on midweek. Not great on the face of it, but it's probably the most positive step your lot have taken all season :)
Edit: midweek? Yesterday. My head's up my arse today.

I don't think much of either of them, I just did a token alt-compo entry because I like to pretend I'm rebelious.
Why not think up a Ctrl-Alt Compo, the prodge?

I suggested it because it was the worst possible idea I could imagine :(
Until I saw this compo, anyway.

Aww lookit how adorable he is!
But if I were that reptile I would be most unhappy at the ratio of croissant:wine.
MOST UNHAPPY.

wine with breakfast?
in that case he's still got the whole day to get sloshed

See, that's always been my argument
that's always been my argumentabout Smug Bloke. I am sure he's swilling orange juice not wine. That glass is far too ordinary for such a Smug Bloke to chug his white wine with. That plus he has croissant and coffee and with his morning paper it is patently clear it is breakfast time at Smug Bloke Towers.
