It's giraffe week here. I got close to one once. In a safari park in Dallas, Texas. I spent six months travelling round the USA on an old London double decker bus. Bunk beds upstairs, kitchen and living area downstairs. Mighty good fun. Anyway, at the safari park in Dallas I got to scrape some rhino tusk (and smoked it that night but nowt happened) and feed a giraffe. It wasn't allowed but I got off the bus and had my picture taken with him. We still exchange christmas cards you know.
