Apologies. Do you know though, what a seals limbs are called? It's really bugging me now! I was being serious about that bit, i really want to know.
Any marine biologists around the place tonight?

Suppose. "Limbs", i'll stick with that. Flipper sounds too dolphin and fin sounds too fish. Limbs is about right |

They say flippers, but wikipedia is often written by non-experts, so i'm sticking to my limbs. And they're sticking to me, so all good! |

Jeremy Clarkson says when he was in Iceland or some place he had whale meat for dinner, and they asked if he wanted some grated Puffin on it, his starter was seal flipper.
Clarkson it's at the end but quite funny. |

I think it may have been Al Gore or someone like that who when asked if his presidential campaign was tiring he said "I'm Sleeping like a Baby", then quipped "Getting up every half hour crying" |
