The damn Africans must set aside enough land to insure that their indigious lions survive. Damn them. Their culture propagates people they can't feed and doesn't protect a wonderful legacy. Bad culture.

Rhubarb Commando old hand Registered: 11/13/11 Posts: 1018 Loc: Lancaster, UK	Make up my own lion? OK, here goes :- Two big cats in the registry office: are they Marriage Lions? WWII - A big cat joined the French Maquis, but wasn't very effective. he was the Lion of least resistance Two big cats travelling at right angles to each othe: they are crossed lions. If they travel next to each other as parallel lions - they'll never meet The yellow-and-black big cat makes straight for his objective: is he making a Bee Lion for it? The star of the Lion King is off sick: there are many applicants to take his place. They stand in Lion for the job? Richard Branson relies on railway lions _________________________ I'm immortal until proven otherwise
