Penguins roll!

Since I'm off to Bristol on Saturday (before driving to Luton in the evening, busy busy...) I'll finally get to visit my adopted penguin, Eric.
Rah!

I've been meaning to ask.. why penguins?

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away someone, for reasons known only to themselves bought me a toy penguin.
This is possibly because I occasionally mention I find penguins (and llamas as well, incidentally) to be generally amusing beasties, and I seem to remember some study done at some point indicated that looking at penguins is therapeutic.
At this point someone else noticed that I had a toy penguin. And thus did the tide open and now I have around 100 toy penguins - not that I'm complaining of course, they're rather nifty :)

Doh! *goes and downloads Llamatron, the coolest computer game ever written*

100?

I thought there were something along the lines of 250 at last count?

PLEASE don't forget your camera!

I think a load are hiding in the loft or garage; I did a recount and it was around 100

What a coincidence.
Whilst driving past Bristol zoo on Monday I commented that was where Eric lived, and I was asked if you'd ever been to see him...

And neither of us had read this comment at the time.

You are entering the twilight zone.
