He's also 'supposed' to be 'working on a project' at the moment or so he keeps trying to convince his loyal followers. Perhaps he's sunning himself somewhere surrounded by young sheep's. 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more desperate deflection attempts by pointing the finger at a little sheep and grass over being called out for grassing on a poor misunderstood bear. 1 1 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you smoking? p.s. One man’s “grass” is another man’s “public minded citizen doing his civic duty” (or even a “valuable intelligence asset”).

RMweb Premium polybear Posted March 14 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 14 1 hour ago, iL Dottore said: So now the truth will out! Over on the companion thread to TNM (ERs) The Bear has been bragging about how virtuous he has become, informing everyone and anyone that he has “given up” curly fries, pizza and cake in favour of healthy vegetables multiple times a day (I believe Broccoli may even have been mentioned at one point). Now, in an incautious moment, he lets slip that the “Virtuous Bear” was naught but a facade. I won’t comment beyond asking the TNMs “would you leave cake alone in a room with that Bear?” Bear had broccoli last night….and cauliflower…..and carrots….. No chips/CF/Pizza/cake either 😩 Though I did have a lasagne ding din dins - but still under 1700 calories, even with the donut ambush….. 3 2 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen truly, mighty cakephiles, go down under the onslaught of a cunning Krispy Creme carnage. I nearly succumbed once when being viciously assaulted by a dozen Fairy cakes. Fortunately they were unable to amass their full potential as one of them was missing a wing, so I took him out first and the rest just crumbled. 1 1 2 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a note left letting us know where to phone for a new one. That came quickly but it look a little longer to get a replacement permit sticker.
