EVERYBODY SAY "AW"...



Here's a cute little panda cub being reunited with its mother.
Who said pandas are boring?  (Well, some of them might be.)

  2. I'd prefer the Yogi Bear slippers I had as a kid, DSE. No actual Yogis were harmed in their manufacture.

  3. There 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.

  4. That 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.)

  5. Yep, 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 !

  6. Yup, 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.

  7. That 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.

  9. Lovely, I regard the mother Panda started by her baby sneezing YouTube clip to be a masterpiece! :)
