Anything Political

Beekay,, Can you tell what it is yet??

 

 

 

 

[MargieH 7,599]

I wondered as well.  Not to spoil any other guesses but is it anything to do with Alice in Wonderland

[Oztalgian 3,270]

Alpaca or a Llama?

[Stuart.C 491]

And the prize goes to;

 

Here we have Charlie, the over friendly and very inquisitive Llama, sadly no longer with us.

 

Owned by my Son and family for a good few years after being rescued along with another Llama, Muriel and a few other animals from the Zoo that was somewhere near the Butterley railway near Ripley.

I believe the Zoo had to close as the railway wanted the land back.

 

 

 

There were a few strange looks when the Llamas were moved from Selston where they lived when they got Charlie and co, to Northumberland up the A.1 when they bought an old farm

Now I DEFINITELY know my eyes are rubbish... mistaking a llama for a rabbit!!

[Stuart.C 491]

Easilly done Margie (we'll keep it quiet and won't tell anyone)

[Beekay 5,134]

Cheers Stuart !! Never dreamed in a million years that's what it is. I thought it may have been a fluffy chick and the dark bit was it's beak. Just shows, I know nowt. At least I didn't think it were a rabbit.

Makes you wonder if some of the other avatars are not what people first think they are.

[MargieH 7,599]

BK Looks more like a close up of a rabbit than a white chick!

[Stuart.C 491]

I took the full body image of Charlie first, then he wanted to have a look at the camera so got right up to me, hence the Avatar image.

[MargieH 7,599]

CT I’m more interested in WHY rather than WHAT when it comes to avatars....  

e.g.  why does someone choose a symbol of an ancient civilisation, especially one following guidelines?

[Beekay 5,134]

Margie, I just knew you were going to disagree wi me. 

[MargieH 7,599]

BK. You started it!   Are we going to fall out, do you think?

My principle of choosing avatars is 'anything as long as it's not me'. 

[Beekay 5,134]

No Margie, we shouldn't fall out. Life's too short. Do you think I've started a drift?

Have you noticed, I've reintroduced Jim for you?

[loppylugs 8,427]

Haven't changed my avatar in years, but if I ever do you can guarantee it will be doggy.  

[MargieH 7,599]

BK. Yes, I like little Jim..

[Beekay 5,134]

Don't look now but I  think Trogg has changed his Avatar. Is it a selfie Trogg?

Are these the same animals that occupied a field at Brinsley opposite what is now Brinsley Lodege pub?

[trogg 2,010]

BK  Yes,  I am a bit behind the times I now  have a camera that takes selfies, it too long to develop the film in my old one.

[Brew 5,408]

I knew I recognised the face but just couldn't put a name to it...  

[Beekay 5,134]

Aren't we cruel!

No, that may have been the animal rescue centre in Brinsley, maybe they used the field.

 

My Son lived in Selston, bordering Pinxton / the railway where Maltby's was previously (if you know the area)

That's where they had the animals.

Sorry to barge in on your enjoyable posts but did anyone see the " debate"?

[Beekay 5,134]

Saw a bit on you tube Nonna ! What a travesty. Doesn't that bloke know when to shut up and give someone else a chance.

It were more like a kids slanging match in the playground.
