Page 1 of And this years Darwin award goes to...

our canary, Gordon.

Filled his water bowl up last night, he decided to take a bath in it, got stuck (fat little thing he was) and drowned...

R.I.P Gordon.

We`ve told our 3 year old he flew back to the pet shop - and luckily, we`ve found a near identical replacement. He`s just a bit slimmer - but of course, he would be, he`s just flown 20 miles!!

Just realised I don`t mean Turner Prize at all. Can`t remember the name of it though...
D`oh...

Anyone know the name of the prize awarded for tragically funny endings...?

Darwin Awards?....mind you, there could be an animal version, much like the Dicken Medal :-)

My Collection

That`s what I was after, cheers.

And may I apologise to my late canary for wrongly giving him a prize for creating a really bad work of art.

I dont mean to make light of your loss but that is actually quite funny

May I offer my apologies for me taking this in such poor taste!

Thus proving (my age) & the lyric "Gordon is a moron!"





I consider myself an optimist, albeit an optimist with cynical tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself would find a little creepy. (Perhaps you've noticed.) You don't normally associate cynicism with an upbeat pov. But I have exactly that combination and will defend it.

When fishermen catch dolphin-friendly tuna, how do they know which tuna are being friendly to dolphins?

You probably won`t believe this. Christ, even I`m struggling at the hilarity of it all.

Our rabbit died today too. Explaining 2 seperate deaths to a 3 year old in one day... well... it`s difficult!!!

Lost our gerbil yesterday-I blame the curse of miiIkeyblue

RIP Itchy or Scratchy- I never could remember your name...big decision whether to get a new set of brothers as they might still be here after No1 son leaves home.

I think that you`d probably stand a good chance of winning the Turner Prize if you entered a birdcage containing a dead canary stuck in a bowl of water!

BTW you might want to drink bottled water from now on - better to be safe than sorry!
