Musketeer Gripweed Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Indeed!I saw a program with Michaela Strachan the other week where I found out if you stand in front of a tortoise and create a big shadow over it, it will go back into its shell and roar like a lion to scare you away. 603372[/snapback] This Michael Strachan fella sounds a bully and should be reported to the RSPCA immediately. Poor tortoise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamonds2002 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 So..................Back on topic then, where are they? I'd imagine Ochilview is a good bet. That's the last place I saw loads of the little f'k'rs. I don't think I've seen a wasp alive or dead this year yet. Removed a bee (alive) from my front porch three or four times so far though. I'm fairly convinced it's the same stupid one that keeps coming back every time I leave the dooe open to stop the heat building up! 603387[/snapback] maybe you should try and domesticate it and keep it as a pet. You could take it for long walks through the country side on a special leash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might buy a tortoise just so I can hear it roar. That would be magic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musketeer Gripweed Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Tortoises are rubbish pets. By the time they fetch you your slippers you will be in bed already. They also roar at shadows, thats nae use. Maybe SD will let you borrow his bee though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
