Awww God that’s good! Now if the person in Las Vegas who nicked Clare’s camera from the bar table in a well known casino would do the same . . .

That’s a right bummer. Poor Clarebear. I hope she didn’t lose too many memories?

Ha-you might get more people to take the bear without the free kid! I have tried so many times to give the boys away but they always manage to find their way back;-)

It rather looks as if toddler is about to eat the bear. I know food prices are shooting up, but there’s no need to substitute stuffed animals for brown rice just yet.

That is a seriously grumpy bear!
# K8 on 11 May 2008 at 10:38 pm

Nick; Not eating… clutching for dear life. The kid knows her ma gets very grabby when there’s a photo op.

Jenny; He has a face like a well slapped arse alright. He must miss his old family or something. I think I’ll call him Hobo.

Sorry you got filtered Tim! It doesn’t look like there’s a choice in the matter… bear and child are firmly glued.

Noooooo….You can’t be learning my secrets! Great picture, K8.

These are cool too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbMrhwKTpIY&feature=PlayList&p=A9FBABB0B16F1C4D&index=0

If there’s a kid going, we’re in the market!
# J Adamthwaite on 12 May 2008 at 9:12 pm

Poor Hobo. He probably misses his other home, where I imagine he’d be called Hobnob, or something similar!

You might want to try ebay. It hasn’t worked for me so far because I’m determined to give mine away as a job-lot. Free shipping is always a getter, too.

She’s a beautiful wee thing, K8. And she knows that the proper handling of bears requires one to hold it by its ear too.

Hi K8

Thanks for the link, much appreciated. Any joy with the bear? Maybe he has met a lady bear friend and will be back in a few days…

Nice one. I use Gimp on account of the freeness, same thing different package, there is a good site called grokking the gimp out there somewhere though. Sounds dubious I know, but it’s not, it’s nerdy (grokking from star trek apparently).

Jefferson; Remind me to look at that at Dad’s gaff when you come over

Xbox4nappyrash; Ah, you’d be better off robbing a younger one from outside a supermarket… you can’t skip the nappy stage, it’s not fair.

Jenny; He’s lost in the jungle of teddybears that is puppychild’s room, now. I hope they don’t tease him.

Sam; *grin* or I could just staple a ‘For Sale’ sign on her forehead and tie her to a lampost! (I’m going to hell for that one.)

Jennifer; Brilliant site!!! I’ve learned much from your teachings. Bear is found, not lost. Well at least… I didn’t lose it. I picked him up off the side of the roads because the sight of an abandoned teddybear is too much for me to take. Yes I am a little bit crazy.

Thriftcriminal; I want one with a pen! I played with one once in the graphics department in RTE while on work experience once… I got into HUGE trouble for mucking up a live logo

Ah Jaysus K8 I’ve tried that a couple of times now, snatching babies from old begging ones, but sure both times I got them home they were only feckin dolls.
