    How'd he get in there to start with? That's the first question I'd address.

    Fitting into a turn of phrase isn't bound by normal laws of science.

    I'm more concerned about the 800-pound gorilla. You'd think someone would have noticed it.

    The OP needs a dedicated thread like Kneemos.

    We all know what you are up to Mr.Backwards!

    Put down your bottle of bog Poitin, pick up yer bottle of red lemonade and cheese sammiches and get back to work.

    The room is a construct built around the elephant.
    It's more a matter of how you get the elephant out of the room after bad planning.

    I saw the movie Room in the cinema and really enjoyed it.

    I was surprised that none of the reviews mentioned the bit where the elephant showed up though, it seemed like a bizarre plot twist for a story about a kidnapped woman & child locked in a bunker?

    The room is big enough for an elephant and he's nice and quiet. Stop whinging.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    He's getting rent allowance to pay for that room and hasn't worked a day in his life. Bloody pachyderm spongers! :mad:

    Easy, You get a baby elephant and take him through the door. (They only weigh 2% of a fully grown male elephant)



    No one ever mentioned that it was a fully grown elephant!!

    How can you tell an elephant has been in your fridge?

    Bloody huge footprints all over the butter.

    I never realised elephants liked Tennents.

    I'd have thought they would prefer Tiger Beer tbh.

    The elephant in the room should never be mentioned. Please delete this thread and everyone forget they ever saw it.

    One has hydraulics and the other has a
    high bollix

    Yes, they're usually well house-trained, except when the mice are out, and then their aim is terrible.
