    Hmm... I dunno. I wouldn't pay more than 2.8 If it was female, then the extra 200 would be worth it

    What colour is it? if its one of those silver grey ones it will go with my new my new HiFi rack so I will take it at your asking price.

    I hear they make good house pets, if you can keep them off the furniture, as they do not shed their hair like a dog/cat.

    Can I have it? Is it a hungry hungry hippo though? Personally I only have room for a hungry one.

    heard on the grapevine that a consignment of hippos was smuggled into the country illegally recently, if you are thinking of buying just make sure they've come from a reputable source. judging by the price they're offering it looks a bit dodgy to me.

    Odds are it's a sheep in hippo's clothing..

    .. i've been stung by that rouse before.

    Also, a picnic table once tried to convince me it was made of beech.. where it obviously oak and pencil shavings. Crafty bastards!

    If anyone is interested, I have a giraffe on sale for the last few weeks. For around the 5k mark.

    Special offer for boards members. I will cut the price to 2K and throw in a tree for good measure.

    Its a reluctant sale, but new neighbours force the sale.

    Viewing can be arranged, no need for directions. Make your way to artane and look up in air....
