I visited my good friend John Tighe at the Spotted Dog to borrow some of his racing snails before they compete in the Digbeth O’lympics. He is a bit concerned that they will become big-headed after their movie roles and doesn’t want them to demand better pay or conditions once I return them to him.
I am already dreading the thought of returning them to him. As soon as I placed them in the tank that I have bought, I became quite connected to them. How sad. I’ve been researching how to look after them and they have the dubious accolade of being the first creatures on earth that I have ever shared my beer with (albeit a only little bit).
I’ll post pictures of them soon. I must point out that no snails will be crushed during the making of this film!
