Ah, but there you go again sharing an old friend, Juan

A Live One is especially dear to me; therapy for many an occasion when taking myself too seriously.

Yes, even a fish on a bike can take himself seriously!

My onliest complaint about the badger is that the lazy sods didn't turn the badger round so that the paint ran along it from nose to tail to match its natural markings. If'n they'd a done that, no one would have noticed.

What The Sun is really famous for (note shona's comments about sexism) is this:

Three years ago I have seen a similar picture with a marked opossum in the middle of the road - somewhere in Southern US, I believe

I recall seeing one a few months back of an armadillo in the middle of the road with a yellow stripe painted across it.

Reeling: Oscar road kill

02/15/2002

By CHARLES EALY / The Dallas Morning News

The Oscar folks, as usual, have planted themselves firmly in the middle of the road,
nominating The Lord of the Rings, A Beautiful Mind and Moulin Rouge as the best movies of the year.

One of these days, someone is going to explain to the academy that the only thing that
belongs in the middle of the road is a yellow stripe or a dead armadillo. Until then, Reeling
must buck up and accept the fact that Oscar loves safety – and runs from creativity.

(Close, but no cigar.)

No spoof. And, yes, you can trademark "Page 3" as a brand. Manifestly. And The Sun has done so. Come back, Sam Fox, all is forgiven! [/drool]

I think that the "real" page three pictures are on the links within the site - the front page is rather tame.

I remember seeing copied of "the Sun" years ago in Spain - there used to be little black bikinis inked in (it looked as if it had been done by hand). I always wondered about the people who did that job - did they just have lot of voluteers to call in as the plane with the papers arrived?
