Rodent!


That's a capybara, a giant South American rodent. They can grow as long as 1.3 metres and weigh up to 65 kilograms. They have teeth.

In conversation earlier, my wife informed me that there had been sightings of these creatures living wild in Britain. I was disturbed by this information; I really don't need another animal to fear while cycling.

There is no need to become hysterical. The solution came to me quite quickly. What we need is a large owl.

A big guinea pig? It's worse than I thought.

I must have missed this episode of Dr Who.

It was a spin off series entitled Dr Hooty Who. It was rubbish. There was no John Barrowman or anything. How can you have television without John Barrowman? It's unthinkable.

Does the large owl have a single in the top 15 of the UK charts? I think not.

Sarah, the large owl does not have a single in the top 15 of the UK charts. That would be silly and, frankly, beneath the dignity of the large owl.
