When I do it, people are gobsmacked. Sounds like you're actually in the jungle.
Learnt it by accident, perfected it over the years. Great pub trick !
Do tell your secret - I sometimes work around big cats so may be able to put it to a good use!
P.S. I can click my toes like most people click their fingers.
No, not the joints, I mean clicking your fingers like an ill-mannered diner at a waiter - I do that with my toes as well.0 -
Can click one of my toes too, so that it makes a noise on the floor.
Sounds like someone knocking, and it can't be seen within shoes.
Scares the crap out of people when I say "Listen...Did you hear that?"...
Then I do the toe "thing". You can see people going a bit grey and looking all round, LOL!!!

My left ankle clicks when I walk, especially when walking up stairs. I can't sneak up at night.0

We have proper old fashioned milk bottles delivered and I'm unable to eat breakfast cereal unless it's made with milk from the top of a bottle of silver top. Every morning just has to be a new bottle opened. If we don't have a new bottle I have to make porridge instead which makes me a bit ratty as it's a change to my Monday - Friday morning routine.0

I do educational & (domestic) animal care work at a zoo with 12 tigers, 4 lions & (like Prescott) 2 Jags. I can say 'hello' in tiger but it would be nice to enlarge my vocabulary.0 -
my knobs 12 inches- but i dont use it as a rule

Ok, Mr Museeuws...
Basically, I found it out whilst drinking a pint, and someone said something funny, and I laughed, but as the pint was nearly empty, it was a sharp intake of breath, combined with the resonating hollow space etc.
1. Put the empty pint glass to your mouth, as tho you are going to drink it, but put your whole mouth just inside it.
2. Make an almost pig grunting sound, by breathing in NOT out.
This will take some practice, as most people try to shout into the glass, WRONG!
3. As you "get it", move the glass around in a semi-circle, and open/close the mouth, and this gives a realistic roar sound.
I've done it in pubs, clubs etc, and people think there's an animal around...no joking.
If you can't get it, I'll try to get my Tecno kids to phone film me doing it and put on something for you to see/listen too.
It takes practice, but its the breath in/semi grunt/moving glass/open/closing the mouth combo that does it. Good luck !!!0 -

I think I sort of get it - it's the echo of the glass that gives the roar effect, and you modulate it by manipulation of the glass / mouth? I should say that working around animals & zookeepers makes you immune to having your leg pulled after a while, normal life becomes so bizarre!
The difficult bit with imitating tiger sounds is getting the depth of tone they have from their chest. If you search youtube for 'Diamond says hello' there's a short bit of this tiger 'talking' to me which gives an idea. Yeah, definitely film your technique & put it up!0 -
WOW! That's some pussy! Could only see a few secs before it froze, but that's U Tube for you.
I'll get my son to film me later or tomorrow, as he's got a day off then.
You know how cranky teenagers get when he hasn't had his 18hrs sleep !!!
How'd u get into the animal thing? I can't watch "Marley and Me" as our last dog was called Marley, and I'd just choke...
When I was a kid, my parents took us to Sandown Zoo and we saw Simba, the largest lion in captivity at that time. Last year I was in an antique shop nr Cardiff having a coffee, and next to the Mrs shoulder, in a GULP! case was Simba, on sale for £1,500.
Broke my bloody heart.
Speak to you again!0 -
I know how Gilligan and the others get off the island for a second time
Do you have any Therapeutic Use Exemptions?
No. Never have.
Never? What about the cortisone?
Well, obviously there was the cortisone0 -
You mean they got off it a first time??
I've got some catching up to do. :shock:0 -

Is it even possible to get "top of the milk" anymore? I thought all milk was homgenised these days....Do not write below this line. Office use only.0 -

Yeah, we still have the old silver-top, red-top etc delivered by the milk-man. Some people think this makes us dead posh and some people think this makes us scruffy residents of 1935. Trick is to let the bottle stand for a while and it all separates, lovely!0 -

How'd u get into the animal thing? I sometimes wonder myself! An interest in cats especially, plus a desire to pass on knowledge about them, I suppose. I've got a theatre & education background which of course helps with the public & kids. I've done a mixture of volunteering & paid work. The fact that I didn't visit a zoo for about 30 years and so was pleasantly surprised at the changes that have happened helped, and gave me a fresh set of eyes on things like ethics, husbandry & education.
I don't know about Simba, when was he around? Nowadays any dead cats go for study to a world expert in Scotland, so at least they contribute to conserving their species after death. Unfortunately we lost a beautiful tigress this week to old age.0 -
