I have now gone up or down in the world as a published author in the Angling News. I cant wait for more emails...
We really do see this as a positive and realistic idea, laying out the framework of our legacy to society. But some do not agree.

Yes I am 9ft tall. Unfortunately I am also 9ft in circumference.
My mate was saying to me today that dolphins are the only other mammal, apart from man, that mate for pleasure. I asked if they mated with man and he said they didn't. I started to recount the tale of being chucked out of Brighton Sealife Centre after a drunken night out but stopped myself when he looked uncomfortable.....prude!
They closed the Centre soon after.
Anyway that sparked a memory and I don't know how I know this, that a male dolphins genitalia is extendable and can be manoeuvred at will. Either this is one of my sick, deviant dolphin dreams or a repressed memory from Brighton.
So when I came home I tried to check it out on the web but my wife came in and caught me looking at dolphin porn.
Now that I think about it more I think they should come and here's why:
I can remember a popular documentary from when I was growing up. It covered the experiences of a rescued dolphin that would often help a man and his young son; either by alerting them to danger or saving them in some way. I was almost like it was human and it seemed to be able to communicate by clicking sounds and could direct people by standing on it's tail.
So if these dolphins could alert paddlers to danger they might be helpful.
The downside is one of them might wrap it's genitalia around your boat and my inferiority complex is bad enough as it is and it's the last thing my paddling needs.
In addition, I'm a bit peeved with the BBC at the moment as I caught my 2 year old daughter watching a reality tv show the other day. It seemed to be set in the home of some talking penguins. I can only describe their language as pseudo-European.
Clearly though the BBC should know better than exposing these remarkable creatures to the gaze of publicity lest the end up in some circus as curiosities for the paying public.
I would also be happy for one of them to live in the old fridge in my garage if we can get them over too.
I better go now but I have written a poem about not bringing dolphins over here.
Dolphin of pink
I think
At 9ft long - on end
Than me you are taller
But thought of a
Japanese trawler
On the Dee
I despise
I don’t want to see you in Japanese pies.

"The Pink Dolphin is known as a predator of smaller fish that are in the Amazon area. Most likely, you will see a Boto catching turtles, crabs, catfish and crustaceans.
The way that Pink Dolphins are able to survive off of these hard shelled animals is through their teeth. All of their teeth are very sharp, which allows them to catch and keep their prey. The Pink Dolphin has about 30 teeth, all which are in the front, and all which allow them to have their supper through other river life."
Soft body parts in a hard shell... just like a paddler in boat! Any thoughts of bringing in a few turtles to distract the dolphins from the canoes?

Life is what happens when you're making other plans.
The thing people come up with??? They just do not have any imagination..
In Great Britain the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 prevents the introduction of any animal not naturally occurring in the wild. This is the law. Such introductions very often result in serious damage to our semi-natural ecosystems. Adversely affecting native species which rely on the same food resources. They can also have an adverse effect on... See More ... See Moreeconimic interests, such as, in this case fisheries. This idea is seriously ignorant and, in any case, unlikely to benefit these animals. You would do better to support the protection of their natural ecosystem through one or some of the many agencies involved in this work. I could go on. This is a ridiculous idea.
