God-Forsaken Lion

Got sent this link to a story on the Daily Record web site by Alex.

"GOD-FORSAKEN LION

A visitor was mauled to death by a lioness in Kiev zoo after climbing into the animal's enclosure, shouting: 'God will save me, if He exists.' The zoo was packed at the time of the tragedy on Sunday."

I wonder if he'd been drinking the local hooch? We're off to Kiev next month and I dread to think what 'hilarious' scrapes we'll get into this time.

In Budapest, Alex decided to swim the Danube whilst full of Unicum. In Braşov, Transylvania, Graham drank the local hooch, Polinka, and got us lifted.

Thankfully, Krakow managed to go relatively incident free.

Mind you, if Alex had been drinking and got in the lion enclosure, he'd probably bore it to death with his bizarre and yet unrelated tales about Le Corbusier, his dog, Scottish customs, his Lynne, property prices, Captain Columbus........
