Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Morning folks. Broken Cu. Monthly rubbish run to the cage in the village. Hope it's not full as you have to try to throw it on top. Then the safari camp bar.

Mrs Ex-Ascot had a large monitor lizard in her bath in the safari bathroom yesterday. Took 15 mins to extract it.

Tea leaves from over twenty separate places across Africa and India all end up in Harrogate in Yorkshire and is then expertly blended – hence it's called Yorkshire Tea.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Hope you recover soon RiS. The raki is the best bet.

Our very own Banksy at work at the safari camp. He signs his murals 'Prince'. This was commissioned so guests can take photos in front of it pointing out where they have been. A fair bit of talent there. He is ridiculously cheap.

Now a shelf in one of the kitchen cupboards has collapsed. Four hours after tree and fence down. Tree gone fence back up but needs repair. Not bad for Africa. Thanks to our star project manager.
