<HTML>Yep, it was me who wrote about Jasper's Warchild book story :D
I've recently reread it, still 'yay' for me (of course, its not Thursday...)
Charles, were you as weird as me and the part you found odd was the end, when

<HTML>Did the phrase, 'that's the badger', come from Harry Hill? Or was it something else? Most people think I'm strange when I come out with it.
And that spoiler only serves to pique my interest, gorilla?!?</HTML>

<HTML>"thas the badger" was comon currency with some people up North when I went up to look at Durham for the first time. Not sure if it was originally Harry Hill or not though.

<HTML>There _was_ a badger. Until I chased it up a tree.
A badger can climb anything if it's scared enough. If I ever do any research into British wildlife, that one is worth remembering for future reference.

<HTML>I'm not entirely sure of the truth of that statement. Otherwise 'like a rat up a drainpipe' would long ago have been changed into 'like a badger up a kumquat'.</HTML>

<HTML>Incidentally I actually heard the phrase off an Australian who came over to my school for a year to help out and just took it on becuase I liked it. I have been 'up north' for about three months now and haven't heard it once. Maybe its just a Yorkshire thing ...although where Harry Hill comes into that Analogy I have no idea. Hope this has made y'all even more confused :-)
