Winter Sun, Crocodiles and Extinction

In Plushiland we have been enjoying the summer sun. Some weeks back Gediva and his Cousins took a trip to the Big River. While at night Plushiland watches Plushi-Appropriate films.

Gediva and his Cousins take in the Sun at the Rhine River

Home again watching cartoons

Very bad news has reached us from Australia. It seems that you HUMANS are responsible for many creatures (always the small Mammals) being on the verge of extinction. Well the HUMAN Politicians in Australia are not the greatest, a lot of the Flat-Earthers and Global Warming Deniers over there. And as usual the animals introduced by you HUMANS are causing all the problems, foxes and the Devil's own creation the CAT! Ba I hate Cats. Not as much as I hate that Mickey Mouse, but that is another story.

Cute Aussie Mammals soon to be gone. (picture Jonathan Webb)

Save my ME! (picture Kym Brennan)

In other news the Independent reports that Crocodiles like to play with balls, While you see are Handbags and Shoes! Shame on YOU!

Who will play with me?

Come in and Play (source the Independent.co.uk)

Due to circumstances beyond our control I have had to delay part of my planned Royal Visit. But I will still be visiting England soon. I may have time to post between my engagements and I hope that the Euro will still be around when I next post. Invest in Diamonds, YOU have been warned. Gold has already increased in value. Or there is always Bitcoin. Maybe I should introduce Ratti-Coin.

Christmas Plushiland 2014, Ratti von Plush Give DIAMONDS

It is time once more for Christmas. It is my 12th Christmas. Today, WE received a Royal Sled. And later WE will be travelling around the world to collect Diamonds. Bit like Father Christmas, only difference is that you give US, Father Ratti Christmas the Presents. High, Value, Portable Property; Diamonds Preferred.

Plushiland welcomes another orphan

Plushiland at the Movies. Lord Gediva, is closest to the camera.

In OUR last post WE mentioned the Paddington Bear Movie. Well some Plushiland representatives went and saw it with THE HUMAN. Well it was very boring and they went to sleep during the movie. HUMAN children might like it. BUT London is not nearly as welcoming as the movie suggests. Enough said!

And another orphan finds a home at Christmas

Wrap up warm

Well We must be off and start collecting OUR gifts. Seems that squirrels are responsible for global warming. Not it not Squirrels, YOU HUMANS are to Blame.

So Merry Christmas and Merry Plush. I will be back in the new Year, and all years are the Year of the Ratti.

Happy Rattember (November), Happy Birthday to ME

Greetings. November is a month of Birthdays. On the 9th of November the Germans commemorated how the Berlin Wall came down 25 years ago on the 9 November 1989. This was long before We, the Great Ratti Von Plush was born/stitched. So not that important as it was BR (Before Ratti). Then two days later We celebrated our Birthday, on 11 November. (Rattember as the month has been renamed in Plushi-Land.) We celebrated in our usual way by being given DIAMONDS. 

DIAMONDS All Mine!

We am now 11 in HUMAN years (but do not tell Facebook as they think We are older), And about 31 in Plushi years. There are about three Plushi years to each HUMAN year. King Drooley also celebrated his birthday this month, but We cannot remember the date or how old he is, he looks rather thread Bear, but Bears do not age well, unlike us, Kangaroos.

Rattember Birthdays, King Drooley and Ratti von Plush

King Drooley Birthday listening to Adventures of Paddingtion

Have you seen the clip of Two of our Cousins Fighting. We think they were fighting over DIAMONDs, so greedy. We could use a few Battle-Roos to take over the world. Another Cousin of mine, Zippi has escaped from a farm in Brandenburg in East German. As you might know Kangaroos are not really native to Germany, and seeing it is rather cold, she might not survive. We are hoping that she is found quickly, as she has a six month old baby with her (called a ROO). There are HUMANS out looking for them, but HUMANS are not that clever.

No further Cuteness allowed!

Then it seems that a town in Poland has decided that Pooh-Bear is not appropriate for HUMAN Children because he/she is gender neutral and shock horror does not wear trousers. Well, We know a few Poohs and they seem very suited to children!

No Trousers or Pants.

 News of another celebrity BEAR, the Paddington's Film is to be released in the next few days. Trailer on Youtube. We really think that BEARs are always hogging the lime/spotlight. Needs to be more films about Kangaroos and DIAMONDS. Well affairs of state demand my attention. We Need to get on the phone to Luxembourg to sort out a special DIAMOND tax deal.

Art work from the Book

Finally, a Great HUMAN Friend of Plushiland, has written a book all about talking animals, called the Radiant Hearts of Badgers, as you Know WE love Badgers in Plushiland, the book is available on Kindle.

Ratti's Treasure, Polar Bear and Plane Crash

Summer 2014 has been a very busy time for me, what with all the affairs of Plushiland to look after. I thought it would be nice if I showed you photos of my treasure, Diamonds and cold hard cash. I think it is really important to have portable property. To follow Mr Charles Dickens in Great Expectations. I now have a beautiful case, not box, to keep all my treasure in when I travel.

Diamonds and Cash

Of course when I get more Diamonds I will have to get a bigger suitcase.

On a educational note, it turns out that them Dinosaurs were fluffy too. Some of them had feathers.  

It is far too hot in Plushiland at the moment, and I really hope that the heat wave will end soon. Us Plushis do not like the heat at all. Spare a thought for Arturo, the poor Polar bear stuck in Argentina, in 40 degree Celsius (Like a million Degrees Fahrenheit, I believe) because the BAD MAN won't send him to a ZOO in Canada.

Send Arturo to Canada, you BAD MAN!

One more distressing picture to go, then my work is done. No doubt you will all have heard about the plane shot down over the Ukraine. Enough have been said about it already. I want to leave you with a terrible image from the Guardian Newspaper. You can read the article entitled :

Graphic content: when photographs of carnage are too upsetting to publish

The caption from the Guardian: "A child's belongings from the MH17 crash: 'Images such as these can be as heartbreaking a sight as the body-bagged corpses that once owned them.'" Photograph: Maxim Zmeyev/Reuters

On this note I will leave you, to ponder what it means to be Human and Alive. Hopefully, next time I will have happier news to report?! But YOU HUMANS are in charge, so it seems doubtful.

Pertaining to Fat Bears and a Bearded Lady Oh and DIAMONDS

Fuleco

The affairs of state have been keeping me very busy in the

last few weeks. As usual we have had to welcome new immigrants. Firstly we have Fuleco from Brazil.

Save ME from Extinction

 
 He is the official mascot of the 2014 HUMAN World Cup Soccer in Brazil. He has been appointed by Kind Drooley of Plushiland to help our overweight Bears Exercise. It seems that many of the Bears have too high BMI - Bears Mass Index. This means also that they are suffering from high Plush-Lestrol. Very dangerous as there internal Fluff can become hard as stone. So it has been decided that all Bears with a BMI of over 40 will have to exercise with Fuleco. I have no problem with Bears turning to stone and so did not agree with the employing of the foreigner, Fuleco but I was overruled by King Drooley on this occasion.

Gym Class for Bears with BMI over 40

The other new arrival is Plushiland is The Purple Flying Mule he is related to Emile our Xmas Donkey. So he was able to come to Plushiland on a Family Visa. Grrrr. Anyway Magento is great and he has already found a job in my office as Cultural Attache. I am adaptable if nothing else!

Ratti and Magento, Flying Donkey

Plushi-Vision Winner. Bear dressed as Tigger

Two weeks ago we had our Plushi-Vision Song Contest. And the winner was a Bear who had cross dressed as a Tigger. I mean what is the world coming too. Seems a bit unPlushi to Me(an). But of course the Bears loved it.


It is like a woman with a beard winning the HUMAN Eurovision. [a woman AS a Beard is fairly common, a woman WITH a beard less so] Oh wait that has already happened, the fabulous Conchita Wurst (Ms. Sausage).

Eurovision 2014 Winner, Conchita Wurst

Eat your heart out Dame Shirley Bassy. Okay, I like Dame Shirley more, because "DIAMONDS are forever". And Ratti loves Diamonds more than Power!!!! I would not be surprised if Ms. Wurst's Phoenix is spotted in the skies over Plushiland.

As Plushiland is not actually part of the European Yet, like the Ukraine, we will not be holding elections here in Plushiland tomorrow. Oh wait we never hold elections here. All Fluff is Equal and the least of our Fluff is Better than the best of your Flesh. ha ha ha ha. Maniacal Laughter from Ratti Von PLush. Time to take over the WORLD.....

Ratti Von Plush to Visit South Africa

Ratti von Plush will be visiting South Africa (Azania) in March 2014. I am including a map just to show you where it is. Some people think that Africa is a country, no it is a continent, my clever HUMANS.

Oh My, Great Plushi in the Sky, South Africa is a country!

In order to prepare for my visit I have been meeting with Expat Plushis from Azania.

Here is a photo of some of the Azanian-Plushi Expats.











I am hoping to be able to bring some DIAMONDS back to help my private retirement fund. What with Dictators being thrown out in the UKRAINE and such like. I need to plan for my own retirement. I see that my friend President Pushtin (of Russia) or rather President Push-his-weight-around aint so Heppi (south African dialect) about the developments in UKRAINE. I am going to assume that you have heard of both Russia and Ukraine. And all this upset coming at the time of Pushtin's very successful, Blotchi Fascist Games. Funny about a Russian being a Fascist, would have thought he would be a Socialist at very least. But then what do I know about HUMAN politics.

Senior Members of Azania-Plush Expat Group

Edna and Ratti go Ethnic

 The trip from Plushiland to Azania takes a long time and we always have to travel in the HUMANS suitcase. Although this seems like INDIGNITY. It is better than being prodded and plush by the Security Guards, if we travel in the HUMANS Hand Luggage. I mean do I look like I am going to hide drugs inside my FLUFF???

King Drooley of Great Dignity was felt up by some horrible MAN at Munich Airport the last time he travelled in the Hand Laggage in 2003. This was before my time. Else I would have told the MAN to FLuff-Off. Stranger Danger and all that. "Stop Feeling up the PLushis, you Nasty MAN!!"

King Drooley takes a break

Well, I hope to be able to update you all while in South Africa. But I am not sure if they have the INternet there yet. We will be collected from the Airport by one of the Village Elephants. So you might have to wait until I get back to Plushiland.







In my absence, The day to day business of Plushiland will be Handled by Margie and Libby.

Rattis' Birthday 11 November 2013

First picture of Ratti with King Drooley

Today, the 11th of November is my Birthday. I am now 10 years old in HUMAN Years, but far older in Plushi-Years. I think we will be having several days of celebration in Plushiland this week.

King Drooley presents Ratti with Boat

Rattis DIAMOND studs

For my Services to Plushiland King Drooley has given me a boot for my Birthday. I look forward to travelling around Plushiland in my sail boat. As a gift to myself, I got, yes you guessed it, DIAMONDS.





This seems to be the week for Birthdays, one of my HUMAN fans had a Birthday yesterday. So I just wanted to wish Miss P. a very happy Birthday for yesterday.
We will probably be having a big Fluff Celebration later in the week, but that depends on my other commitments.

In honour of my Birthday, I have decided to pardon Tedward Snowbear. This means that he can return to Plushiland any time he likes and will not be sent to Jail, for crimes against the NSA and Plushiland. So maybe President Obama will do the same for Edward Snowdon.

New NSA member, FF

Speaking of the NSA, I am happy to announce that we have a new recruit. His name is well, it is a secret, but he is known as FF or F-Squared. The Bat NSA was rather busy around Halloween, as you can imagine, bringing Fluff-sweets to all the small Plushis of Plushiland, like Cupcake.

The Ridiculously cute, Cupcake Von Plush

Halloween BAT-NSA

Birthday Greetings for ME

I really do not have much time to write today. I am hoping that my schedule this week will allow me to write again with further details of my Birthday Celebrations. Until then I await your Birthday wishes. I Must dash as some Plushis will be arriving for Fluff-Cocktails and Fluff-Nibbles soon.
