I mean, their beak looks like a parrot's beak; not their beak looks like a parrot. It would be odd looking to have a bird with a beak that looks like a parrot.<br /><br />Anyway see: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=budgie&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=0jkdVoCBJ8n_aJXkj_AL<br /><br />Usually kept as pets by little old English ladies in their cottages drinking tea and biscuits. I mean drinking tea and eating biscuits, not drinking the biscuits.<br /><br />I'm getting quite confused here. <br /><br />Death can be quite a sombre subject of conversation, can it not. Whenever the subject comes up I usually put on a red nose to lighten the conversation. For some reason, I was not too popular at our neighbour's funeral last week.<br /><br />God bless you Kim and Rick.<br /><br />Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-51826191126293636462015-10-13T09:43:24.293-07:002015-10-13T09:43:24.293-07:00You mean it WAS a pretty hamster, Victor.

It was all downhill from there. Cue the drums. ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11095272703996765890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-91995577236358030772015-10-13T08:13:34.608-07:002015-10-13T08:13:34.608-07:00I really don't know where I get all these idea...I really don't know where I get all these ideas from, Lulu. I've always been like that. Not appreciated in my own time I suppose.<br /><br />I was terrible at work when young. I used to stick the ruler to the desk with strong glue; then ask my colleague if I could borrow his ruler. It was a laugh seeing him try to pick it up. <br /><br />You know when you have a hole punch in the office they usually have a container where it collects all the little circles of paper the punch makes when it cuts holes through paper. One day, I emptied the hole punch container into my colleagues folded umbrella. I made sure all the bits of circle papers were well hidden.<br /><br />That evening, on the way home, it rained. He opened the umbrella in the street and was showered with confetti falling on him everywhere.<br /><br />The next day he said nothing, but stared at all of us in the office. I did not dare to laugh because I feared for my life. <br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-60734120065609349732015-10-13T08:03:39.596-07:002015-10-13T08:03:39.596-07:00It is a pretty hamster, Mary.

Holding one's head under water for long enough it is natural to die; unless you're a fish.<br /><br />I took the goldfish to the vet recently because it was always having a fit and shaking violently. The vet looked at it in the fish tank (I carried the tank to the vet in a baby pram) and said the fish is OK.<br /><br />I said: It is OK now. But when I take him out the tank to go for a walk he has a fit.<br /><br />God bless.<br /><br /><br />Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-51697792218273896512015-10-13T07:27:13.797-07:002015-10-13T07:27:13.797-07:00With NO offense intended, I suggest you donate you...With NO offense intended, I suggest you donate your brain to science, Victor.

Somehow the hamster (either Tootsie or Cocoa - very hard to tell them apart you know) escaped during the night and we found her in the dog bowl the next morning. Good thing we got up before my daughter did. When she got up we told her that Tootsie/Cocoa (or was it Creme?) died a natural death. She still doesn't know about the "dog bowl drowning incident". But it IS funny in a sick sort of way! So I was giggling like crazy when I told you :) (Hmmm...it may have been De Menthe who passed away in the dog dish - it REALLY is hard to tell Robos apart.)
