(Mongoose (bikes)) Mongoose is a brand name of performance bicycles originally designed, manufactured, and sold by BMX Products, Inc. Mongoose merged in 2001 with Pacific Cycle, a subsidiary of Dorel Industries.
A Police man who cant see photographers?
So mayday, all I wanted to do is go out in the sun and flex the big gun at the zoo and get some shots of the Inca Terns, Firefox and that cute as a button new addition the Mongoose Lemur. Wasn't to be though, as the queue was enormous.
Eating cake in the sun, and Paul was trying to pretend to be a street photographer for the day. Wasn't really happening to be honest, people not on bikes don't seem to capture my attention. Crazy bastards on the roofs of squats causing major roads in to the city centre to be closed however, do!
Said crazy bastard, was protesting against Tescos for some reason. If I understood his ranting correctly, we should reclaim the roofs of bristol, and grow all of our own food so we don't need to rely on Tescos. How are the botanists coming along with the pre-packaged beer and chocolate trees?
Also, we apparently need to buy solar panels (this dude was homeless, yet wants us all to buy expensive solar panels?) to power all of our stuff our selves. Right, so as well as an orchard/allotment, presumably some space for livestock, I'm supposed to have a solar panel farm on my roof as well? Gotcha.
The next best bit was the ridiculously wasted big issue man swearing in everyones faces. Apparently he believed the dude on the roof was making the Ultimate sacrifice (his words) by spending a day in the sun on a roof hurling pottery at passers by, because its the only way the government will listen. I assume about Tescos. Also I was taking the piss by owning a camera. Apparently, I need to insert my ample telephoto in to my anus, and "Fuck off back to your really nice house. Where did you buy it, Debenahms? Sainsburys?"
It was a good mayday :)

Awhile back, we adopted the pet name of "Mongoose" for Krislynn.
I know what the mammalian form of a Mongoose is, I also know it's at bike brand. Either way, I believe it to be a cute name... and think my daughter embodies it well.
In light of that, I am her Mom-goose, and Christopher her Da-goose. Hence the nickname on this belated birthday cake! Christopher got it for me, all decked out.
Strawberry filling, with cream cheese icing, and chocolate fudge border with chocolate dipped strawberries! mmmmmmmmmmm! Best birthday cake ever!
