Sun’s Guillemont Park campus has for several months been host to a pair of Egyptian Geese – presumably feral escapes from somewhere – and only one of them had been seen much for the past few weeks so I had supposed the other’d been taken by a fox.

Not so! On sunday I stopped into the office and the truth was revealed – we now have Goslings, four of them to be precise:

…and obviously they are all called “James”.

This would be confusing to non-Sun folk – we inside the company are well used to different things all having the same name, or to one thing having multiple different names – so in the spirit of our marketing division we’ve actually given them all slightly different names.

There’s:

• James RE Gosling, and…
• James 2EE Gosling – the biggest one, and…
• James “Beans” Gosling – always hiding under mummy’s wing, and…
• James 2ME Gosling – the littlest one who always seems to be running off on his own.

Daddy gander is slightly aggressive and slightly dense – he keeps hurling himself are his reflections in the window – but he does watch out for his little ones, so hopefully they will grow to full size.

Now if only we could somehow stop them pooping on the doormats…
