Dierdre,
What a stroke of luck, the "travelers" were by here the other day, they knocked on my door and offered to build me a barn! When I mentioned the council and permits and all that other nasty stuff, he told me never you mind they would build me a camouflage barn for £500. Well at those rates how could I pass up such an opportunity, they put up a large sheet to shield their activity and went to work. There was an awful din of sawing and hammering coming from that area but within the hour as promised they removed the sheet and you could not tell there was even a barn there. Then they drove off in that peculiar lorry with the changeable magnetic signs and the two large trumpet loudspeakers on the roof, I suppose they use them to announce their arrival in a new town. I trust they will come by again so I can have the cat flap installed.
Where can I purchase the dustbin-lid sized, shatter-proofed, saucer, with "ARNIOLD" engraved in 24kt gold on the side? Would Harrods carry them? I do by chance have a Burberry raincoat passed down to me from my great great grand-mum it might be an original. The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe book I’ve just finished reading, and there are several century old oaks Arnold could use as scratching posts. The Seven, in-season, lionesses might be a slight problem but I’ll talk to the lads that are always down by the alleyway, they seem like they would be suited for such a task.
As I said previously, the Gnu’s are becoming a bother so if Arnold were to nosh them all I would not mind in the least. Would "Burger King" banana shakes do, there’s one right down the road and MacDonalds is clear across town. Of course I could always pop round to the greengrocer and get a few crate of fresh banana and make Arnold’s milkshakes myself.
I was mentioning Arnold to Mrs. Brown from number 34 over tea and she seemed to think I would also need a pith helmet, wooden chair, whip and a revolver, I can’t for the life of me understand why.
Looking forward to meeting Arnold, I’ll leave the latch off the door so should I not be around when you come by just let yourself in and feel free to just leave Arnold in the parlor.

Re: Person required to lion-sit (15th advert this year) -- Death Notice:,

Death Notice,
Mrs. Penelope Thorp was found dead today in her parlor, an apparent victim of a lion attack. A neighbor Mrs. Brown from number 34 said it was a miracle no one else was hurt as Mrs. Penelope Thorp also was known to mind toddlers during the week. The authorities have not yet excluded the possibility of other victims as the scene was littered with what appeared to be the shredded remains of at least 14 wildebeests. PC Roberts who discovered the body said that results will not be back from the lab until at least the end of the month and only then DNA will decide whether there were more human victims. The lion has not been located, however the authorities would like to talk with a Dierdre Simpkins who allegedly owned the lion.

To whom it may concern
It has been brought to my attention that someone purporting to be me has been posting messages on this site claiming to need a lion-sitter. Further to this I also understand that sadly one Penelope Thorp has been found dead and `Arnold` (the alleged lion) has gone missing and that the authorities would like to talk to Dierdre Simpkins.
I would like to state categorically that I now no longer own a lion and that I have never posted messages on this board advertising for a person to lion-sit for me. To make matters worse and by an amazing coincidence I did in fact own a lion but sold it some weeks ago one evening to a gentleman who gave his name as Fred Smith from Worksop. I can give no description of this person other than he was a white male, about 5`6" to 6`4" tall and he spoke with a thick irish accent. I did notice that he had greyish mid-length hair which was poking out from beneath the shamrock green cap he wore on his head but other than that my mind is a blank i`m afraid.
The gentleman or should I say `suspect concerned` gave the full asking price for Arnold (Yes! Yes! I know, another weird coincidence but remember someone wins the lottery most weeks damnit!). Anyway.. after paying me the asking price of £500 the suspect proceeded to bundle Arnold into the back of a transit type van, white in colour I think, and then sped-off leaving a trail of smoke behind him. I think the number plate began or ended with an `L` - can`t be sure though.
Having discussed the situation with my solicitor I have been advised not to comment but I thought it was best to be as upfront as I can and put you all in the picture regarding this matter hence this message posting. If it comes to a police interview I can say that this message is proof beyond all reasonable doubt that I am innocent of all charges
Yours Sincerely
Dierdre Simpkins
