Birds and warm blooded critters have maybe evolved more complex brains and social characteristics, whereas most if not all reptiles are kind of solitary and kind of have every day as a groundhog day - so they don't develop the same social interactions as many warm blooded critters, even if those interactions are limited to "if I go over there to that person I get food". That said On holiday one time a little gecko seemed to kind of develop a "I get fed by these people" thing. Er, dunno really, just guessing We have the same thing here with Bobtail lizards.If you put food out for them on a regular basis they come and even wait for it,but apart from getting fed,I dont think they consider us as friends,just someone that brings food.

We are winning football-matches, unbeaten at home in what, 8? And people are still pissed and whinging in On Topic?!?

Why in all its holy would I want to converse in there? I tried it and apparently I pushed the word removed pedal to the floor although that was from someone who also posts off topic. I had been using a judicious half inch of sarcasm though Edited August 23, 2023 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy Lifeboats Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) I rarely venture into On Topic. If we win the manager is great. If we lose the manager is awful. Every new signing is absolutely amazing and will set VillaPark alight. It's their first time living abroad where few people speak their language, their kids struggle to settle and they don't perform well. They are rubbish and only came for the money. Player x is rubbish because he never tackles back. (But has created 30 goals). We win our first 6 matches. Here comes the Champions League. We lose our first 6 matches. Here comes relegation.
