Jaggernaut Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 With Ting Ting and Ying Yang now having an official permit to do f*ck all in this country for the next 10 years, and then facing deportation back to China along with their (as yet unborn) offspring, who won't even understand a word of Chinese, is their presence in Edinburgh a good thing or a bad thing? Â Or was the Paisley Panda better value for money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianlucatoni Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 not content with infiltrating our schools network via confucius hubs, the chinese seek to exert political influence by shipping us two pandas which we'll be paying a fortune for  ... meanwhile we're all meant to smile for the cameras and turn our backs on human rights abuses, carte-blanche executions and imprisonment of political opponents/dissenters/artists etc (amongst other state sponsored atrocities)  wish salmond had half the cojones standing up to them as he does to the english.

Yes, that would be nice. Of course it's not just Salmond, it's just about everybody. Money talks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i@n Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I think it's a good thing because it means Edinburgh has pandas and Glasgow doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Or was the Paisley Panda better value for money? Â There is good and bad in everyone, but we try to live, as we try to give each other what we need to survive, together alive. Â Good points, bad points, overall I'm not sure, but it seems to have got folk all excited to see them, which is nice I suppose, as long as they visit the collared peccary enclosure (my favourites) when they are there.

Rid Skwerr Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Saw a panda once. It was cute as hell, but a bit dull. The penguins are a lot more fun .... (and we didn't have to sook up to The Evil Empire to get them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and we didn't have to sook up to The Evil Empire to get them) I knew somebody who worked at the zoo in Paris years ago, where they had one. He was a bad-tempered, unfriendly old b*stard, and the zoo staff couldn't wait until he snuffed it! (That's the panda, not my friend.)
