As it would appear we cannot be trusted to discuss anything slightly controversial I am starting a thread to discuss unicorns and butterflies. I like white unicorns with rainbow horns

My word Oldwoman70 - are you connecting white unicorns with rainbow horns to a headline you saw in DM? What I would like to know is - can two white uncorns raise a black unicorn with or without rainbow horns?

A bit off thread (Sorry) but Darnsarf do you by any chance come from "Down South"? Just wondering because that's where I am from too!! smile
We might not see many unicorns where I live but we do have dinosaurs in a local park that my husband, little dog and I visit frequently. Has any body else seen them?

A grovelling apology........I don’t bally well think so!
The truth must be told.

lemongrove Sat 11-Nov-17 17:12:06

I expect my last post to be deleted.

lemongrove Sat 11-Nov-17 17:11:28

Sorry Annie but it has to be said that the Welsh red ones are the very worst sort, impossible to house train, impossible to understand and they sing !

Oldwoman70 Sat 11-Nov-17 17:10:30

Darnsarf I'm afraid I must agree with matson GNs are far too delicate to be told about such things. However, just this once I think we can overlook it.

I am sure if lemon issues a grovelling apology and swears never to say anything relating to dragons again Annie will not take matters any further.

matson Sat 11-Nov-17 17:07:56

You know it makes sense Darnsarf!!, wish I had a dragon ?

Darnsarf Sat 11-Nov-17 17:06:23

I've reported my own post Matson. It was disgraceful.

Cherrytree59 Sat 11-Nov-17 17:05:13

Annie let the dragon in he can make burn the toast whilst you watch the matchsmile

Cherrytree59 Sat 11-Nov-17 17:01:55

Well I do know there were some humpy back camels and some chimpanzees.
And even some long neck geese but no Unicornssad

However in October DH and I stumbled across a bush beside a busy road that was covered in painted lady and red admiral butterflies.
It was an evergreen with no flowers so I can't think what the attraction could be unless they were laying next years caterpillar eggs. confused

With regret lemon I must report your post, deliberately meant to attack the whole of Wales, well the Welsh of Wales anyway

matson Sat 11-Nov-17 16:58:01

Not sure your unicorn should be mentioned in this thread Darnsarf, it's just one of those things we don't mention on here!!!

BBbevan Sat 11-Nov-17 16:56:53

Loads of dragons in Wales. Always have been ,always will.

Darnsarf Sat 11-Nov-17 16:44:45

My unicorn is a left wing bisexual mixed race liberal. He's been known to make politically incorrect comments to dragons. I've sent him for retraining.

lemongrove Sat 11-Nov-17 16:39:33

Yes they are Jalima they whizz about annoyingly and land in my bacardi and coke! They must be banned.

Jalima1108 Sat 11-Nov-17 16:34:42

Are we allowed to include dragonflies and damselflies?
I have seen several lovely ones this year

but are they too contentious?

lemongrove Sat 11-Nov-17 16:31:36

I am proud of my unicornism, and am definitely prejudiced about dragons.Just sayin’ grin

Oldwoman70 Sat 11-Nov-17 16:25:26

also your comments about not recommending dragons as pets could be classed as prejudice

matson Sat 11-Nov-17 16:24:03

Aw lemongrove, my little ponies are very kind to each other, think you have a rouge bunch there..... not intended as a contentious post !!!!☺ only saying .

Oldwoman70 Sat 11-Nov-17 16:24:00

lemongrove do be careful what you write as your comments could be classed as unicornism. Whilst it may be true that some unicorns skewer and trample butterflies not all can be said to do so.

lemongrove Sat 11-Nov-17 16:15:52

I do not reccommend them as a pet.

lemongrove Sat 11-Nov-17 16:15:20

Dragons are useful for starting up a nice log fire in the house, but tend to take over the sofa.

lemongrove Sat 11-Nov-17 16:14:06

Unicorns and butterflies do not mix well with each other, the unicorns skewer them with their horns or trample on them.
