Yesterday....
I took Mrs Samurai to a wildife park, she'd been moaning on that we needed to do something together instead of spending our weekends either in the pub or nursing a hangover.

Anyways, I took her to a small "Wildlife Park" a few junctions up the M1, the website said that one of the main attractions was their Primates.

Now I don't know about you, but when someone mentions primates, I think of Monkeys, Chimps, Gorillas or Orangutans.

Now being a fan of our tree-dwelling cousins, this made up my mind that this is where we were going to go.

We parked the car up and I eagerly ran to the entrance to the centre, hoping to catch a glimpse of a monkey doing something amusing. I grabbed a map, sprinted around to the "Primate" enclosure and what did I see?

A fucking Lemur

Gutted

What a waste of £6.99 entry fee, in my eyes it's its a poor mans primate, it doesn't even do anything!

I hoped that it would do something interesting, I wasn't expecting a rendition of "I like to move it" a la "Madagascar", but the furry little bastard didn't do anything at all, just sat there silently mocking me.

The little bastard. That's the last time I go there I tell you!

Length? I stood there a good 15 minutes waiting for the twat to do something amusing.

Lemurs are fantastic
(IMO)

I thought you were going to say that you'd been confronted by some old gentleman in ecclesiastical garb.

Edit - actually, I think my liking of lemurs comes from that programme that the rather lovely Dr Charlotte Uhlenbroek presented a few years back on BBC1. So it's probably more lemur-love-by-association.

If i'd seen a fucking Lemur
frankly, I'd have joined in.
