I've been to Monkey World twice. Once when it first opened with my grandparents, and then last year(?) for Ange's birthday. I'm not allowed to go to the tank museum.

It's okay - they're made of vegetables.

I got chittered at by an angry crowd of wild long-tailed macacques last week. It was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.

I'm very surprised we haven't had a picture of you and an Orang, actually. Spot the difference, like.

If you're referring to the bit I think you mean, they use "a tape" as the 20 questions subject.

I've got a few hundred orang pictures. None with me in though. Did you not see the postcard I sent to Zardoz? Z - dig it out.

Yeah, zoos can pretty easily make you feel embarrassed for your whole species.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49233

That was in the middle of the rainforest. It made me embarrassed for my nation, certainly.

I always really really really wanted to adopt a monkey at either a zoo or care facility for primates, something like that, but always needed the money for something else ?:|

When I am rich that is the first thing I am going to do. I have a list of things I am going to buy when I have some money, it is taped to the fridge. It's not a long list, it just says 'first aid box'

Housemate chose the cheapest BT option for our internets, expresses surprise when a household of four, including one online gamer, one frequent iPlayer viewer, and one Eggsbox demo downloader, each with laptops and compys and consoles, hits the 10 gigabyte a month ceiling after a mere two weeks.

Think I'll have to persuade him its best we spring for Unlimited.

Some backend stuff but nothing special according to Kotaku

"An Xbox 360 firmware update went live overnight/early this morning. Although it lays the foundation for the 360's Facebook and Twitter capabilities, no new features are included in this download.

Major Nelson confirmed the new firmware in a late-night post; also, for any of our friends who were up late and gaming and found the system update spit back a router error when connecting to Xbox Live, that has been totally resolved, tweets the Major."

This article seems a bit misleading. It says that Julia Roberts has upset Hindus by filming at a temple but surely she doesn't make the filming schedule, it is the film makers responsibility? The owner of the temple must have something to do with it as well? Seems like they wrote that story to be 'ooh look Julia Roberts is a diva'. That annoys me despite me not having any particular positive or negative feelings towards Julia Roberts.

Frankly, in a spat between the entire of Hinduism and Julia Roberts, I'm siding with her, because she's lovely. The mean ol' Hindus should leave her alone.

She can afford electrolysis. You can barely afford electricity. Shush.

She's lovely.

Also - bear in mind age comes to us all, and our wives.

Hand in your lesbian card now, young lady. Jolie is a horrible crack-whore-esque skeletal nightmare.

Hang on, no - she's a horrible crack-whore-esque baby stealing skeletal nightmare.
