Yes I do. He was at one point, voiced by Derek Sim who I went to school with. Probably about the biggest acting role that an ex Kincorth Academy pupil ever had.

I loved the boats, got videos of me on them when I'm little. Also me learning to ride a bike

Spike was ace, I remember seeing him on a P1 trip back in 1991/92. I used to love the dark rooms with the fish tanks in them.

What happened to all the parrots and monkeys that were there a few years ago?

They were removed because people kept prodding the parrots to make them laugh, and were inter-breeding with the monkeys. It wasdecided it wasn't 'polly-tickly correct, ape-parently'.

How many kilos of crack did I smoke before posting this? It makes no sense.

Derek Sim? I went to school with him, but that was at Peterhead Academy.


As for the big frog.. McPuddock, it's still there. And the boating pond is to be restored to its former glory (so I'm told) complete with boats.

Oh, and they've build a new shitter in the park too.
