Man injured when two Aardvarks fell onto his head, this can't be true however, because ardvark's never hurt anybody.

Next please! and no dirty ones thank you very much.

We haven't had a deeply intellectual, mind stretching thread anything like this on for some time, the time is any time from now on, all the best to all of you

Aardvarks, adorable creatures, may not intentionally hurt anyone but they can inadvertently cause accidents.  One of them actually took on an aeroplane some years ago, must have thought it was some kind of giant bird of prey coming out of the night sky:

We do not know if the aardvark survived, I think not.  RIP little chap.  .  There is a picture of his wife and child taking some refreshment while they try to make sense of the big bird from the sky.   The late aardvark's actions must have been with the intention of defending himself and his family because aardvarks' staple diet is insects, particularly ants and termites.  Not a lot of people know that.

Must have been Aardvark finding that out Brownie, did you know it's the first word in the OEUD the shorter version?

Indeed I did Mr Ipster!  Aardvarks look adorable and Noah certainly worked 'ard to find room for them in the ark.  Just think, if not for him they would have had to swim.

The Okapi is a pretty, unusual and interesting animal too, related to the giraffe (not closely, I mean not like aunts and uncles).  They are sweet and shy, I saw one in Antwerp where there is a conservationist- type zoo.  An okapi wouldn't hurt anyone, bless, and is a herbivore.

There's a nice picture of an okapi in this wiki link:

Thanks for the Glagow warning Gonners I'll look that up on the iplayer with the subtitles and it's ardvark getting through sometimes, never mind.

For years I have wanted the same ringtone as my (copper) son's boss. The sound of a police motorway patrol souped up Subaru stopping dead from 180 mph!

The sound of tortured rubber is outstanding - but he won't share it with anyone outside the Met!
