The Custard Factory have been very careless with their penguins and they all seem to have disappeared. Apart from this one, which was found in the Abacus apartments car park and delivered into the arms of John Tighe at The Spotted Dog.
He wants to hold the little chap to ransom. He couldn’t decide on the terms, so I’ve just gone and made them up: COMMIT TO A SUITABLY OUTRAGEOUS CUSTARD COMPETITION FOR THE DIGBETH OLYMPICS, OR PINGU HERE GETS IT (probably by a nasty crash in some death-trap, home-made soapbox on wheels made for the event’s Pico Prix).
The Custard factory has a long and scandalous history of penguin abuse including drowning, force-feeding, avianism and religious discrimination in not acknowledging that, as a Catholic, he should have fish every Friday. To put the record straight, Pingu approached us to seek sanctuary and when he heard about the soap box derby he realised that it was his chance to emulate his hero Pingu Fangio. He wants to drive to victory. He also says that the guy in “Happy Feet” was a fraud.
The penguin is a dirty double dealer and deserves all he doesn’t get. We’ve already bunged him a fiver to be our ringer in the Rae Raft race.
I think this might be the same penguin i saw in a tree back in Novemeber!! ?
