In 1992, 29000 rubber ducks fell of a Chinese freight ship in the Pacific ocean. Thousands of them washed up on the shores of eastern Asia and Australia. Some even made it as far as the western shores of Noth & South America. But some have travelled even further; After a few years at sea they floated north into the Bering Straight where they became trapped in the polar ice cap. The ducks and the ice then migrated east. A few years ago they emerged from the ice in the northern Atlantic. From there they traveled down the eastern Canadian & US coastline before be swept into the gulf stream. They are currently on their way to England, and are expected to land sometime in the summer of 2007.

Wonder how much wind it took to get OUR Duck onto our little Vegi patch..?????? LOL

That would depend on how many onions, peas, beans and cauliflower it ate.

Many years ago when Nissans were still called Datsuns there was a plane loaded with Datsun gearboxes being air freighted from Japan to USA. While flying over Hawaii it run into a terrible tropical storm and the plane was torn apart by the turbulence and it rained Datsun cogs. (Don't tell me I know that's dreadful)

To quote M. Python, it seems" the duck is no more, he is an ex duck!"     Flown the coop !   Deleted!           Come back Ducky please....  :)

If you mean the Disco Duck

Ducky is nesting very comfortably at another place  

Yea he flew the coop, but I think you might have an idea where he is if you want to catch up and enjoy his banter.

The Duck will return.He and I have recently attended a pre lunacy seminar.All will be revealed shortly.Cheers.Ibbo.

What a relief.....thought he might have got diverted to a chinese BBQ shop and got nicely glazed!!   Cheers  :)
