I must confess to nourishing an almost pathological hatred for primates, as some of you know, particularly monkeys of all species .

Anyone else read this and sort of think, 'Yeah, so?'

[I do know I am evil ]

down with monkeys!

i wouldn't mind if a few apes were knocked out, too, chimps particularly .

aw poor monkeys. i really like them.

monkey business is one of my favourite shows.

i did see a programme about killer chimps. they were attacking children. it's so sad - there's hardly anywhere for them to live in peace now.

well if you don't care about the monkeys do you care about the destruction of their habitats? Because that is going to fuck us all up the ass.

I thought someone was threatening some anglican bishops.

No. You're a nasty species-ist

Now, if it was church Primates that'd be a different matter.

keep the habitats, yes, just get rid of the monkeys .

chimps have been known to engage in tribal warfare and practice infantcide.

plus, i don't like their faces.

I don't like their faeces either, and they fling a lot of that about.

I wouldn't want to get rid of church primate's habitats. I love cathedrals...

yes and tigers kill fluffy wuffy animals. Lets get rid of them too. Oh and rhinos are ugly and have nasty big horns. let nuke em.

I get sad when I see former churches being converted into flats.

I don't get sad when I see primate or chimp faces, however .

Tigers are cool. So are rhinos.

Primates and chimps are not.

You can keep gibbons, however, they are cool and it's cool how they've got that wrist socket they can spin all the way round.

I'm actually quite worried about red squirrels, actually. I don't lie awake at night, you understand, but I do think it would be awful if the grey ones wiped them out.

I wonder if we could arm the reds against the greys?

wanders off pondering an old episode of Star trek and the prime directive

My bro has both red and grey squirrels in his garden. And sometimes a man with a gun aiming at the greys (he's meant to be there, front line defence against Invasion of Alien Squirrels).

Yeah, lets get rid of species which engage in tribal warfare and infanticide. So which species goes first? Yup, its a primate all right.

bush or chimp?

Humans are apes, Ems.

So are chimps.

And gibbons.

And gorillas.

Apes, primates... thats us.

I say we start with monkeys and baboons.
