Never had a dog in the fight before but I reckon bling fizzy water qualifies (sorry, is that canvassing?)

Thanks.

There were 4 I so wanted to vote for, but somehow managed to pick one to actually vote for.

Thanks for running the competition Maria, long may it continue!

[MariaJ]

You're all very welcome.  And indeed Bryan, long may it continue!

[Allan Bell]

I like the Polar bear picture and voted for it. However I have to admit to a personal interest in bears as my lady friend runs a bear sanctuary in our village.

 

Allan

[NYCat]

Thank you, Allan, and thanks to your friend for helping bears.

 

Paulette

[Allan Bell]

Must come clean. The sanctuary is for Teddybears.

 

But they are real, aren't they?

 

Allan

[NYCat]

And you can actually CUDDLE those bears. The big ones not so much.

 

Paulette

[MariaJ]

Have you seen the Salgado film yet? Wonderful encounter with a polar bear. My favorite part of the movie, of course.

Congratulations!

Maybe give the bears an extra seal flavored popsicle.
