Drove through the gibbon enclosure as Knowsley Safari Park today and one of the thieving little blighters removed a side screen trim that another gibbon had previously half removed & bent! :D:D

My grand daughter was heart broken for some reason :confused: but was soon distracted :)

You're so lucky,
trying to explain to the young uns why one was trying to **** through the tilted sunroof while another was wanking on the bonnet was what I found difficult.

The buggers seem to know how to dis-mantle thing too, I reckon they have got Haynes manuals !. I once took a brand new Renault Espace through Woburn and they completely stripped all of the rubber seals from the outside of the car :eek:

Gibbons? Did you mean baboons? I just looked up the Park (thought it strange that gibbons would be all over cars) and they only seem to have baboons (which are naughty & dangerous b@stards).

I personally hate zoos / safari parks (yes I know they are conservation oriented).

Having grown up in Africa and literally "walked with the animals" - seeing them in enclosures just saddens me!

My wife and I keep talking about getting back to Africa and doing a proper last safari before we pop our clogs.

Would you put your head in a fire if I sat you next to one? Would you play Russian Roulette if I handed you a loaded gun? No thought not :geek::rolleyes:o_O:D:D:D:cool:

Weren't you warned of the dangers of the internet as you were growing up, it's evil and makes you do things :confused::mad::D:D:D

However, you are in good company of lots of nutters on here to soothe away any lasting damage you have suffered from your inquisitiveness in clicking on a post. Be careful out there ;):D:D:cool:
