my head hurts.

It must do!

Russian? Moi???

My "Friend"???

I was an 'umble Gunner on footsies out of Girdwood... It was something of a talking point when we arrived on the patch, so we all scheduled in a patrol to go and see the thing...

As for double tapping, just put it down to senility and finger trouble!

ha! Thought you'd bite!! I have the greatest respect Petriburg rest assured. I take it you just walked past this lion then while it looked out of the window at you - rather than being huddled around a teapot inside the flat saying "eer that err... lion - he house trained then?" as you drank your tea.

Bloody right! I can still see the hungry-looking fcuker now...

Nothing twixt him and me but a pane of flimsy glass...

If it was a lion I think a couple of hours wandering the Falls or Shankill Road would have been enough to send it whimpering back to its cage

The Beast of Garry Bog! The USPCA believed that the best chance to get it was it was early on as it was relatively inexperienced but it would rapidly get much more cautious and stealthy. I still keep an eye out for it when I'm up that way.
