It seems the hectoring kangaroo from Smokefree Northwest has done a runner and they are appealing for help.
We sadly shake our heads sceptically - Steparoo is such a conscientious girl she'd never leave us like this, with no ditty to let us know her whereabouts. Oh no.
Oh no. As I commented, maybe she's got a proper job. We all know and love Steppy the Holierthanthou Kangaroo, so why not visit the site and offer your advice or suggestions. I'm sure they would be *ahem* greatly appreciated.
So if you see her, or have any clues as to where she might be - she's roughly 2m tall, very cuddly with a golden syrup-brown coloured fur, turquoise blue Seven Steps Out tee shirt, and of course very, very big feet
If you bag the bastard, I expect one of those kangaroo steaks for the heads up.
On an aside, I was hoping to pop back and have some bloggy fun with our census form. When I enquired to Mrs Bucko as to it's whereabouts, it turns out she had used it to light the fire. Bugger!
See you round....

I think I saw her sparking up a cheeky bifta with Lassie and Flipper, she'll be back as soon as she's found somewhere that sells 10kg bags of Doritos.
Don't worry though, she's hardcore and rolls hers without tobacco so no second-hand smoke risks for the vulnerable cheeldren.

There's no censorship from this kangaroo!
I promise she will get the same here if she cares to pop over.
Don't you mean hop? If she's still alive that is. My comment there:
Perhaps she's died of 45th hand smoke and is currently decomposing quietly in some alley.
(The link being a Google street view of the alley next to what I think is Smokefree North West's offices.)
Some excellent comments appearing over there now. Makes you so proud....
One does wonder, however, that since the first comment (yours) appeared at dark o'clock Friday morning, and it's still there 40hrs+ later, whether there's any active moderation going on on that blog.
I usually catch comment spam in under 12hrs.
Is there a sweepstake going on for when they'll notice? Though given the post frequency there (their last blog post was last year) can I have Jan '12?
Then again, given the paucity of their blog posts (this one March this year, 1 last Nov, 19 last Sep) I think missing 'roos are the least of their problems. Missing blog posts (or ideas for same) should be their main concern.
If you look back a bit, I think it's the Warrington post but I may be wrong, there are comments from myself and the Fithy Engineer still up there, and thay was way last year.
In fact, I think it's only people like us that have ever commented on that site. I've yet to see a comment from a ciggy bansturbator, even though the blog has five followers.
Any guesses as to the 'leaning' of the followers? Are you one of them? :o
I'm guessing my adding them to Google's RSS feed today won't count as one of them.
That said, given the banstorbatory nature of the group, I'm surprised they don't have more. Perhaps Mr. Don Shenker could be persuaded to join?
I did consider becoming a follower to keep up to date with good stuff to take the piss out of, but I just couldnt bring myself to do it. Instead I just visit every now and then.
You're right, they should have many more followers hanging on thier every righteous word. Maybe promotion isn't thier strong point.
Oh, I'm sure it is. Witness all the photos. And the fact it still exists. (Perhaps this latest post is an attempt to revive a dying campaign?)
Their web-presence however would appear to leave a lot to be desired. Or perhaps 'Sophie' needs to be part of the cuts, since she's not doing her job. I am, of course, assuming this is being funded by the tax payer, and not by altruistic business owners.
This one does look like an attempt to revive the Seven steps out rubbish. I suppose we've got to look out for the kangaroo when were out shopping and stuff.
I would like to meet her in person, just to see if she can answer some questions about the dangers of 2nd and 3rd hand smoking. I doubt she could stand up to a simple debate based on Dick Puddlecotes reaserch for example. That could be fun.
