    Would an owl wan do you? I believe there are pubs in Dublin where you can get them for next to nothing.

    Lidl will be selling a range of owls in a fortnight.

    Ranging from sleek modern compact owls perfect for commuting. To robust owls for camping, hiking etc.

    Pretty much an owl to meet any lifestyle.

    3-year warranty too which is always a comfort.

    Didn't take long for the owl one jokes, can you not be serious, your perfect pet, simple question. I'd also like a wolf if I didn't have to walk it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,576 ✭✭✭Skill Magill


    Or a penguin

    So what you really want is something that will stay up all night. That will turn heads

    Owls are cool. As long as you've got a 20 ft aviary rather than keeping them in your bedside cabinet like this woman did (http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/hundreds-of-pet-owls-abandoned-after-840299).

    And wise, you could learn a lot from one. Like posting links that work

    You could get it to go foraging and just sit back in the lap of luxury as it brings you back tasty morsels.

    Crap pool opponents though.

    I played one before, everytime he committed a foul and I shouted "two hits" he would start giving me the evil eye and say "two hits to who?" :cool:

    Whats stopping you from perching the dog on your shoulder?

    ...failing that, what about a parrot?

    Is this binary or something?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,576 ✭✭✭Skill Magill


    An Owl that doesn't shít, and can attack, and forage would be perfect


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,576 ✭✭✭Skill Magill

    There are only 2 types of people in this world that understand binary. Or phonetics

    Id get an elephant. He could use his trunk to get into those hard to reach places.

    Also would save me having to pay for the leccy shower.

    A cheetah <3

    I would like a squirrell. Or a fox. I like owls too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,431 ✭✭✭Sky King


    A load of meerkats. I love the way they stand up.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,145 ✭✭✭LETHAL LADY


    The Reptile Zoo in Gowran, Co. Kilkenny has the biggest, angriest owl I've ever seen. The owl is upstairs, in a netted corner, hooting owl feck offs to all the visitors.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,301 ✭✭✭Pwindedd


    An orangutan.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,576 ✭✭✭Skill Magill


    A wise owl might be costly though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,281 ✭✭✭Gmol


    You want Roy Hodgson?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,297 ✭✭✭✭Jawgap


    No need to buy one.

    If the rumours are to be believed you can have Jermaine Johnson for free :D

    A goldfish sized humpback whale

    A dire wolf and a penguin.

    They'd be friends so the penguin wouldn't get eaten.
