THE WORLD'S MOST AMAZING ANIMAL

I tried to steer the conversation away from dead bodies, but TT was in full flow about the history of film.

'Of course,' he continued, 'the 1953 House of Wax was only a remake of the original Warner Brothers' 1933 flick, Mystery of the Wax Museum which starred Miss Fay Wray as the...'

He was interrupted by the arrival of a Text from The Bees. Wilson opened the message and frowned, then held out his phone to me. 

It appears that Honey Bees have been declared The World's Most Amazing Animal, and an lecture is being given about them at the ExCel Centre in London.

Polly and Billi want to attend, taking their two adopted children with them so they can 'learn about their rich and wonderful heritage'. Their children, Johnson Major and Johnson Minor, are actually ladybirds, but everyone is too nervous to ever mention this because, well... bees.

Anyway, the purpose of their message was to ask Wilson to buy lecture tickets on-line for the four of them on his (ie my) VISA Card.

Adult tickets are £26 and Child tickets £15, so it's going to cost £82 for the four of them – always assuming they don't insist on the VIP EXPERIENCE tickets at £50 each!

I think Wilson was a bit miffed to find that Anteaters were not voted the World's Most Amazing Animal...
