An umrat of long ago has just rung me to say she has got a place on the plinth. 22nd July. Has *anyone* got a stuff llama she could borrow? She really really wants to be Lynda Snell but she hasn't been able to locate a blow up llama, so stuffed is the next best thing.
If you have got such a beastie and are willing to loan, let me know, send it to me, and I'll get it to her.
I haven't laughed so much for ages - not even in umra.

Let's be honest, it'll take more than an inflatable llama to turn me into Lasnell, but I need all the props I can get.

Thanks Chris. I needed someone who realised how ridiculous the whole thing is.

Does this one imply it is ummm... anatomically correct? ====================================== Llama Bull Soft Toy by Hansa
Bull Llama, finely crafted soft plush toy, suitable for ages 3 plus. The tag has a short informative description of the animal. Much research goes into producing this nature series. ======================================

Haven't been to Beale Park since Hazel was about four years old. I certainly didn't take any photos of llamas then unfortunately.

Oohh. You've braved the nasty Google. Welcome back, Michelle!
I'm still giggling. I am never ever going to be able to walk past the plinth again without giggling to myself.

Well, I was planning to travel to London on the 22nd, but now the 21st looks a better bet :-)
I like the lady dancing now, but was v fed up earlier today when there was a chap dressed as a Town Crier who spent his hour advertising the pubs in a chain he belonged to, v boring. Somehow, I felt it wasn't truly in the spirit of this event, but I could be wrong.

Well, IKID, but I can't find at all where you can see images or video of what people are doing or have done.

Well, she's now been succeeded by a chap who is spending his first 10 minutes setting himself up with a folding bike, some tape and posters and things, but what I find especially interesting is that the sound for much of that time seemed to come from some kind of room where there were other people watching and commenting (invisibly, of course). I didn't get to understand much of the comments though. Now the sound is back to Trafalgar Square.
