Cheers

! To be honest, I can't believe my luck.

Perhaps it's not luck.

Perhaps it's working your arse out to keep Her Majesty's helicopters in the air, and doing a good work at that. Every now and then, the guys "up there" will notice.
Kitbashing mechs may have something to do with it, too.

Looks like you're missing out Gangrel

I guess I am too....

On a completely different note, not really makes me happy but is kind of exciting: my town and quite a large surrounding area is currently experiencing a wind storm with wind speeds in excess of 100km/hr. Not bad for the coastal mountainous area of southwestern British Columbia.

Steel Penguin · « **Reply #664 on:** September 27, 2011, 08:49:23 AM »

yup dinosaurs ( anamatronicy ones any ways) very neat, very neat indeed ( at least now after some sleep i can actually think enough to spell check)

Gangrel · « **Reply #665 on:** September 27, 2011, 12:44:36 PM »

The world can never have enough dinosaurs.

Of any kind.

Did you get wet?

Went there a couple of months back and saw a few people get taken by surprise.

Steel Penguin · « **Reply #667 on:** September 27, 2011, 06:43:53 PM »

nope, they have BIG signs warning of spitting dinos, and as it was lovely and dry, you could see the slobber arcs, but i have to admit the 1st one was rather a suprise when it spat at the couple a few yards ahead.

Zoo

I was off at the Belfast Zoo, Saturday before last. Looked at likkle baby meerkats rolling and playing (right beside the giraffes, which were doing a stately circuit of their enclosure and being soundly ignored by most); of the 'invisible' animals (tigers, hunting dogs, fossas, and a lot more) I managed to see the maned wolf and listen to it makes some fairly odd calls; had a look at some dinosaurs meself

; and various other weird and wacky animals.

Highlight was the lions, though. I walked up and looked at them, lying in a bunch under the shade of a tree. One lioness was a short distance from the others, and looking at me a bit more intently. I remembered a bit I heard about a turned back being irresistable to lions, and did just that. After a few seconds I turned back. She was still lying down but turned towards me, and a couple of feet closer. I turned away again. Just as I was turning back to face her again, I heard a rustle of leaves and a twanging at the fence. There was a lion a scant two feet away, looking a lot bigger close up, giving me a pretty dirty look.

It got the old adrenaline pumping, I can tell you.

I never saw any lions in Kenya...which was a real shame

. I did get to stroke a Cheetah though...so it sort of made up for it. I was able to go into a cage with three of them while they were distracted by a meal. They have very coarse hair and it is quite tufty at the shoulders. I never got the one I was stroking to purr, which is a shame because they are the only big cats that purr (apparently). It was definitely a moment in life.

Got a call from a client, they want a short piece shot on Monday and delivered by mid-October. A little too late to stop the money from having COMPLETELY run out, but at least it will give me another batch to run through...

I abhor this little guy but he currently sums my feelings up well:

second day out of the week today, been for a falconry experience day.. got to fly a few, ranging from tiny little falcons and owls through mid sized falcons and eagles to a couple of big ones, and have a wood land walk with a Harris hawk, in lovely sunny weather. This was for both Sapphire Penguin and myself as a wedding anniversary pressie to each outher.

That's great. Some friends of mine used to run a sanctuary for injured birds of prey - beautiful creatures. Happy anniversary.

Finding out I'm not the only person from Norn Iron on the forum
