Howdy monkey lovers!

You may have noticed the lack of news from Quake Island over the last few weeks but my friends, it's not because we have nothing to report. Gar from it. I hardly know where to start. Firstly, I need to put all our monkey fans out of their misery. We have most defintely not been invaded by deportee Iranians. Big releif at our end, I can tell you. (How that would have flippn' put an end to our blissful weeks in the sunshine on the light side's glorious white sandy beaches). And no, we have definately not been visited by any monkey baby snatchers. We're still busy, busy, busy with rehearsals for Oliver! I've flippn well been roped in big time by Sharleene anbd Schmicheal to play the Artful Dodger after X (young monkey) fell off the Helter Skelter and is in a bit of a bad way. We're giving him plenty of loving and Dr Ricardo's sleepy nighttime juice and Scmicahel reckons he read a story in the Daily Mail recently about a monkey in a robot suit with his hands tied behind his back. Apparently, he or she can control his movements through the power of thought. Joanthan;s busy building a replica so we may have x back with us before to long. But we've told him that he'll have to curb his trips on the big dipper when he's all robo-suited up.

Instead we've had the pleasure of a most incredible guest who turned up here last week with his human friend.
