Re #1: I did kind of drag my friend around saying, “Can we go and see the blue whale now? Can we? Can we?” :)

I must admit, I’d love to see the wildlife photographer of the year entries, did you get a chance to?

Re #3: No, sadly there wasn’t time—and besides, I didn’t have my Blue Peter badge with me. ;)

Quite possibly my favourite building in London.
Now is it pronounced:
Diplo-doh-cus
or
Dip-lod-ocus?I tend to opt for the latter but I didn’t when I was younger.
Is this a really banal question?

Re #6: I’m firmly in the diplo-doh-cus camp, although I fear di-plod-ocus is the norm these days. And apparently there’s no such thing as a brontosaurus, which was news to me.
On a similar vein, I noticed the other day whilst watching the documentary about Oliver the Chimp that some people are opting for “chim-pansy” instead of “chim-pan-zee”, but frankly that sounds ridiculous.

Agreed, the use of pansy is quite ridiculous.

I vote diplo-doh-cus, but again I think I may be wrong. But perhaps not. If everyone wants to call it diplo-doh-cus perhaps we should just decide we’re right and beat the boffins with large sticks if they try and tell us differently?
