COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

My young niece went pony trekking while in Corfu and she was amazed to see what she described as 'hundreds' of torts in the area they went to although that may be an exaggeration. I assume they were Greeks but unfortunately she hadn't taken her camera.

There are a lot in southern France. In Gonfaron near the Cote d'Azure, "Le village des tortues" is based around a rescue centre that can be visited. The local torts are Hermann's

Stop stalking me!

You have a core of friends on TFO who find you apeeling

There use to be lots on the Greek islands.
for romantic evenings, they would take tortoises into the house and put candles on their backs to provide romantic mood lighting.

That makes me feel quite sad.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Hmm Glad my dad didn't know about that!
although he did offer me as a raffle prize at the wedding of my last sister to wed!

First thing they do is check you've got good teeth.

 

[Gillian M]

No.
Sadly, in reality, Greek tortoises hate each other.
An internet relationship is the best we can hope for.

That is not fair: is Oli to remain single for the rest of his life? He'd better look for a .....GERMAN tort-someone of Oli Kahn's nationality (or species, if you like)!

Sure this isn't a horse fair?

Silence is golden. Delicious quiet.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

That makes me feel quite sad.

I expect they had a lot of house fires.

We'll see in the future.
They're both too young at the moment.
We can chaperone their relationship for now.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

No, but the procedure is fairly similar to the camel fairs down south.

 

[Moozillion]

Some, but I was too ill to read for half of it.

"..too ill to read..." WOW!!!! You were TERRIBLY ill- seriously!!! : (

 

[Angel Carrion]

I think he's brilliant.
One of the best.
I didn't like all the Danny Pink stuff and a couple of stories were weak, but "Listen", "Mummy on the Orient Express" and "Flatline" were superb.
A great season, all in all and Capaldi is dynamite.

I greatly enjoyed Listen. That and the Robin Hood one.

I have no desire to go to the grocery store to do the weeks shopping

"..too ill to read..." WOW!!!! You were TERRIBLY ill- seriously!!! : (

weighed 38 kilo at one point, coughing up blood and bits of lung, not responding to antibiotics, unable to hold down food, delirious and not bothered about living (didn't want to die, just wasn't too concerned if it happened) stuck in a room with no mobile signal in England, so couldn't speak to wifey, everyone had to wear masks to visit, very near death a couple of times.
very interesting experience.
Life is good.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

yeah, Robots of Sherwood was fun, much lighter tone.

Hi Abdulla hope you are having a good holiday.
Those animals would be at home in the CDR but not sure we have room at the mo.
