16 Jul 09 - 06:36 AM (#2681296) Subject: RE: BS: Wheres the puffin (penguin) From: Richard Bridge I am sure I recollect precedent in which all Puffins were obliged to be delivered up to the holders of Penguin rights. It was actually about ASDA chocolate biscuits but I am sure the same principles apply to stuffed birds as to stuffing yourself with biscuits. I urge the immediate commencement of litigation. |

The one thing it never was, is funny. Wishing penguin a safe, early return. Quack! Geoff the Duck. |

My sister visited the Farne Islands last year and found the 'gift shop' person in near-despair having had to cope with the previous customer who had just seen penguins on the Farnes, not puffins, and he knew the difference and how should anyone dare to contradict him ... |

These little things are a bit like Rhyming Slang.. it's clever & funny IF you are 'in' on the joke & routine from the beginning. |

17 Jul 09 - 05:28 AM (#2682048) Subject: RE: BS: Wheres the puffin (penguin) From: Richard Bridge You will find it helpful to examine the thread "Free the Lower Stoke One", and the thread "P_P_P_Pick up a Penguin. Inspired by the first, the second and this are largely bandinage between two morris sides. Does that assist? |

17 Jul 09 - 12:53 PM (#2682270) Subject: RE: BS: Wheres the puffin (penguin) From: Geoff the Duck DMcG - The Farne Island story might be excused if the visitor was from France. In France the Southern Hemisphere penguin is called a Manchot. They also have birds named Pingouin which refers to Nortern Hemisphere birds of the Auk family. See in French Alca torda - Petit pingouin and compare it with in English http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alca torda - Razorbill. Quack! GtD. |
