# It's bad enough on the radio :)
TJ: Remember thoughs lovely snow leopard cubs me and GSTQ visited at the beginning of January? We both posted lots of pics.

But I spoke to the guy who runs the cat survival trust today, and apparently they are doing stuff like growing up and getting a bit of a handful; and basically around now is about the last time we as humans can experience these panthera without bars; ie: in a field.

All my mates with wheels have kids and Terry said sort of ah no way, bit to large for their erratic behavior, leaving me stranded!

So I need someone with a car who would like to meet some Snow leopard cubs first hand who can drive us there. I obviously want to take the opportunity to take loads of pictures. If anyone is up for it, i'll fill your car's tank; (assuming it's a normal car) and pay your way in; it's simply a once in a life time opportunity that can't be missed. A few girls from my press department might tag along

email me, it's only twenty minutes up the A1 from North London; aiming for two on Saturday

# If I had a car, I'd drive all the way down from here for that

# If I wasn't doing something else
I'd have taken you up on that offer. I have a mate who lives not far from "20 miles up the A1 from North London" but I'm already committed to something for the whole day :-(

Hope you get there and get some good piccies

# no good to me mate.
Weekends she's home and I'm usually under orders. Even though a family day out would be fine, you have no idea how much "your people talk with her people" we would have to go through to make it for a date in August.
She will have her itinerary planned for the weekend and if I give her the impression my mind is remotely anywhere else she'll tear me a mangina.

# Terry said they are now at the stage where a bite
is quite a healthy bite out of your arm or hand, so pissing them off is not on the agenda

# Oh.
So does this mean we're not allowed to torment the leopards?

# you can come to my house and torment my dog.

# Ho ho and shit, but try a stay on a serious course
It's not even a zoological collection; it's a sanctuary created to prevent big cats from being put down once they are confiscated by the RSPCA from people who think it's ok to have big cats as pets without any professional expertise and to offer them a chance from irresponsible ownership into coordinated breeding programs.

He's got a serval that was de-clawed by a vet; simply what a cunt of a vet; from a supposed professional!

# I apologise for the non-seriousness.
Thought I was on b3ta for a minute there.
