They are just so cuddly rather than just daft.

pleasestoparguing · 19/12/2012 22:47

Wow catpuss is it a real one where is it? - iir they have a similar stuffed (but not real) one not quite so high in Harrods - somewhere I have a picture or DS and DD1 underneath.

YABVU I love penguins. They are way way way better than polar bears!

CatPussRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 19/12/2012 22:51

It's really old apparently. It lives in the kitchen at Heveningham Hall in Suffolk! Imagine meeting him when you open the freezer door for some fish fingers!! Shock

pleasestopcarolling · 19/12/2012 23:14

OK thta's it no more fishfingers !
He would have to move the turkey out of my freezer at the momnet Xmas Hmm

Yes, I once rounded a corner in a German museum and walked straight into a stuffed polar bear, they are huge!

left me in no doubt, I do not want to meet a live one.

Anyway, Penguins are best, it say so on DD2's door!

YABU!

Lol at the Birds Eye polar bear. He is a creep, he scares me.

I always imagine penguins to be like evil geniuses plotting our demise but pretend to look silly and cute waddling along so we are all fooled.. Polar bears are scary! Plus they eat seals and seals are SO cute. I take penguins. Pingu's dad ironing.

They are just so cuddly

I dare you to go up to a polar bear and cuddle it. I think your opinion might just change.

CatPussRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 20/12/2012 09:23

What impressed me about the polar bear I met, besides the height, the class and the teeth, was the fur! They always look like they ought to be soft and cuddly. Like a samoyed dog! The fur isn't really soft at all. It's quite coarse. More like a border terrier! And definitely transparent!

GrimmaTheNome · 20/12/2012 09:58

Probably not a good idea to try to cuddle a penguin either. FIL once tried to pat one at Birdland and it gave him a sharp peck.

Mrspingu · 20/12/2012 10:46

Yes, you are.

In fact, you're being a cunt.

I'd dare to hug a hand raised baby one. I wouldn't dare to hug a hand raised baby penguin.

Penguins!

Polar bears are quite amazing but also a bit scary.

MimsyBorogroves · 20/12/2012 11:12

Hmm, I'm torn.

I'd happily snuggle a friendly polar bear, but nothing betters the drunken-sailor lurch of a penguin.

MerryChristMoose · 20/12/2012 16:32

If this doesn't make you go "aww" then there's something wrong!
