Jaspers are overtaking the world!

Until our Mr Fforde, I didn't know any Jaspers but as of Wednesday my new boss - be it for a few months - is called Jasper. Scary!

I wonder if he's written any books?

Dunno but Jasper Conran used to make some jolly nice home furnishings.

I knew a nice, tall thin gingery chap called Jasper. He did a PHd in something engineeringish and went off to teach Engish in China, or something. Played bass guitar too. He had a cat called Heisenberg, I remember that clearly enough.

Hmmm... have a lovely image now of Jasper speeding round the world on a trip out to Mars... :P

(I had the difference between overtaking and taking over drummed into me when I was about 7)



I drink to drown my sorrows. Unfortunately they've learnt how to swim.

I used to know a Jasper ffrench-Hodges at university. I think he went off to be a vicar.

He'd almost have to be with a name like that!

Then again there's always the one who's a Carrot.

Copied without permission from the CBS website:

Don't Feed The Monkey

GREEN BAY, Wis. - Green Bay police are on the lookout for a monkey named Jasper, who they say isn't armed but might be dangerous.

Jasper dashed out the back door of a tavern where he and his owner are regulars, Lt. Mark Hellmann said Monday.

Hellmann described Jasper as small, dark and hairy, but didn't know what species he is.

The police department's humane officer said Jasper may try to harm people if he's scared and advised anyone who sees him use caution.

What kind of a weapon would this monkey carry?

Banana bombs?

Can't come and chat, I'm afraid - I'm shortly going to be summoned for dinner. :-(
