I'm find it hard to believe this actually happened.

I am Indian. I am not even surprised. Indian monkeys in urban areas are v clever, v aggressive and get everywhere. I grew up in a densely populated urban area and we have had monkeys steal all kinds of things. One of them semi molested DH once but that story is far far too outing (and 15 years later still makes me laugh).

Molestation by vampire monkeys. What a way to go.

I saw this on fb and assumed it was false news!

Anyone who believes in God?

Christian? Muslim? Jewish? Buddhist? Hindu? Sikh?

I struggle with God (insert own type) but even if think this is biblical!
What do people think?

The happenings this year I mean.

My father, usually a sensible man, is terrified of this virus. I kinda don't give a fuck at this stage - when my number is up, that's it.

I've had countless brushes with death and I'm still standing (just about).

I think when it's your time, it's your time. (Christian)

Thankfully none of these are things to worry about

Well apart from Trump and Johnson and Kim Jong Un obviously...

What about the monkeys though Laurie?

I'm more concerned about them being injected with viruses

I was just reading about all the riots in various states in the US after the awful death of George Lloyd, one person has now been killed in the riots too.

Now virus stealing monkeys have escaped.

2020 needs to be turned off and on again.
