I like the free puppies and the wedding dress particularly, Zen.
I am rather fond of the Yorkshire terrier!
I enjoyed the humour shown in this Lonely Hearts Ad:
“Safety first. Dignity second. Trousers last. Rubbish wok-cooked foods enthusiast and flammable materials-wearing loon (M) WLTM F to 45 with fire-blanket and no small amount of knowledge regarding the correct batter-frying procedures of tempura. Bicester. Box no. 2006.”
Very funny.
Watch the big birdie!
