Hi All.

Just so you're not confused, Sim kindly allowed me to change my user name as 'grantsmb' was a nothing name I got fed up with. So now I'm 'Pertinax'... a gorilla name of course.(much happier )

grantsmb was my ebay user name- 'Pertinax' is much more suitable for this forum... sorry if it causes confusion but it shouldn't. It normally takes a fortnight to get used to any new situation in life....

A gorilla? Sounds more like a caesar.

Yes, he's the oldest male in their group(25 years old) and keeps the younger ones in line. He came from Cologne Zoo with another male Klaus, (who later died at Bristol) Pertinax was born in Stuttgart.
