Monkey?
It's driving me mad - "Monkey" has reappeared on TV, in a PG Tips advert, and for the life of me I cannot remember the name of the
TV business it used to advertise (the one that went belly-up).
Can anyone help?

And just how long exactly has this been bothering you…?
It appears you have monkeys on the brain.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I use to watch Monkey ages ago, it was great, I think. Didn't make much sense though & if I recall he flew around on a small cloud.
Bizarre.

Yep, IIRC one of his enemies had a cloud that was running a bit rich and blew out black smoke. As you say, Bizarre.

I even saw a more up to date episode a few months back whilst in China. Even more bizarre!

I see, so you really are just nuts about monkeys. I bet you have watched Planet of the 'Monkeys' like a 1000 times...
So just to appease you here is another funny monkey.

This is the 'other' monkey..

indeed it is...
But why would a chimp set an orang utan on someone. They are hard enough to sort him out on their own without getting the orange boys involved

Monkeys have tails.
Apes don't. Chimps, Roddy McDowell, Gorillas and Orangs are apes. Monkeys can't lift their arms above their heads like humans, hominids
and apes to swing through trees and tend to run along branches and jump instead. Watch David Attenborough some time instead of Big Brother and
Celebrity, it's easy to switch over, use your opposable thumb.

And don't forget that all humans are apes - but some are closer to ape-hood than others!
Ook!
