Here's a cute little panda cub being reunited with its mother.
Who said pandas are boring? (Well, some of them might be.)
A cascading cornucopia of cool comics, crazy cartoons, & classic collectables - plus other completely captivating & occasionally controversial contents. With nostalgic notions, sentimental sighings, wistful wonderings, remorseful ruminations, melancholy musings, rueful reflections, poignant ponderings, & yearnings for yesteryear. (And a few profound perplexities, puzzling paradoxes, & a bevy of big, beautiful, bedazzling, buxom Babes to round it all off.)

Two of 'em, and you've got the perfect pair of slippers.
ReplyDeleteI'd prefer the Yogi Bear slippers I had as a kid, DSE. No actual Yogis were harmed in their manufacture.
ReplyDeleteThere was a fascinating documentary on Radio 4 a couple of years ago about how the Chinese government gives pandas as gifts to countries it thinks could be useful - apparently Edinburgh Zoo got one because China is eyeing up Scotland's natural resources or something. Talking of Radio 4 documentaries, Kid - did you hear that one last week about Hammer vs. Amicus ? It was on last Monday (June 8th) at 4pm if you want to listen on iplayer, I assume it's still available.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds interesting, CJ, so thanks for the tip. I'll probably give that a listen to later. I'm surprised I missed it as I usually listen to Radio 4 throughout the day. (Or at least it's on while I doze.)
ReplyDeleteYep, it's still available to listen - I just checked. It's called 'Houses Of Horror' - I've been meaning to mention it all week but I kept forgetting. I'm a Radio 4 devotee too but I didn't start listening to the station till I was about 30 (about 1996-ish) and now I couldn't live without it !
ReplyDeleteYup, it sure is a great station. I prefer listening to conversation and plays over an endless stream of pop music. I'll let you know what I think of the programme once I've listened to it.
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't doesn't surprise me Colin. Too bad they didn't send my town one a while ago when a former mayor was all trade-happy in getting Chinese investors into town. My town did however offered a panda exhibit roughly 27 years ago. I think I was only there once.

Ta for the links, Chris. I'm sure CJ will take a look at them.
ReplyDeleteLovely, I regard the mother Panda started by her baby sneezing YouTube clip to be a masterpiece! :)
ReplyDeleteThey're cute little critters sure enough, AJ.
