I P Knightley Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 There's a "Vacancies" ad in the window - he's maybe just keen to get an interview. Either way, good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Drago Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I know this monkey - he actually went to university but spent all his student loan on bananas and had to withdraw from his course, and eventually ended up selling himself on the street to get his next banana fix. Apparently he used to inject Mcdonalds banana milkshake straight into his veins. I hope he finds the help he needs. Puts it all into perspective.

hughesie27 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Through his hazy sight he probably thinks it says ''We have vacines here'' Such a terribly waste of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnworthyPapaLazaru Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Bad news guys. He died at lunch time. A sorry waste of a life.

No sooner had his star begun to ascend, he has been cruelly taken from us. He had so much to offer. I am utterly devastated. The whole of our country, all of us, will be in a state of shock and mourning. The unnamed monkey was a wonderful, warm and compassionate monkey who people, not just in Britain, but throughout the world, loved and will mourn as a friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, and with all of the families bereaved in this quite appalling tragedy. I feel like everyone else in this country today - utterly devastated. We are today a nation, in Britain, in a state of shock, in mourning, in grief that is so deeply painful for us. He was a wonderful and warm ape. Though his own life was often sadly touched by tragedy, he touched the lives of so many others in Britain - throughout the world - with joy and with comfort. How many times shall we remember him, in how many different ways, with the sick, the dying, with children, with the needy, when, with just a look or a gesture that spoke so much more than words, she would reveal to all of us the depth of her compassion and her humanity. How difficult things were for him from time to time, surely we can only guess at - but the people everywhere, not just here in Britain but everywhere, they kept faith with unnamed monkey, they liked him, they loved him, they regarded him as one of the people. He was the peoples stuffed ape and thats how he will stay, how he will remain in our hearts and in our memories forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
