Chugley has been scribbling away since March, 2017. What better Birthday present for my site than to present a “new look” and a chance to help my friends to also promote their businesses. Seems to me you all need all the help you can get right now. So I have enlisted the professional site, GoFundMe, to make it easy for you to join us, as we bring the great “why am I here” debate to a wider audience. Below is a sneak preview of the new introduction to my endeavours. Watch this space as we begin to make adjustments to the site. In the meantime stay away from viruses!

Gibber! Gibber!

Chugley

The Go-Ahead Chimp

THE PLOT:

        Chugley is an imaginary chimpanzee living in a zoo in Australia.  He was born in the Congo and was initially taken to an English zoo before being transported to Australia. He is concerned, because when he was in England, he seemed to begin to develop certain human characteristics, such as the ability to read and write – but not to speak. This enabled him to master the use of a computer which a visitor chucked into his compound in  the U.K. for a joke. When he came to Australia, he began to communicate online via a blogsite www.chugley.blog set up by a most obliging senior keeper, who was a former army code breaker, and Vietnam vet.
        Chugley is understandably intrigued by these human beings into one of which he seems to be evolving. He studies their past, their present, their future  and their prevailing characteristics and is often appalled – shocked – horrified by what he discovers.
        He has obliging under-keepers – one of whom is an English former racing driver and military jet pilot, who annoyed his English master at his public school by endlessly quoting Oscar Wilde.  This keeper is married to a fifth-generation Australian from the Central West of N.S.W. who likewise appreciates Oscar Wilde, although she never raced cars or flew jet aeroplanes. (She never even mastered riding a horse on the family sheep/cattle and wheat property.) 
       Chugley, because of his two permanent keepers, has imbibed Oscar Wilde’s dictum regarding ‘The Importance of Being Trivial’ – never boring or too earnest and unfailingly polite and courteous. Chugley is also fascinated by another large volume that his keepers seem to delight in studying. It is actually made up of sixty six books – some short and some long, which have been gathered together and printed as one book. It reminds him of another collection of works to which his keepers frequently refer. Its thirty seven plays, two long poems and 150 sonnets were penned by one son of an English glove-maker, William Shakespeare. (Chugley is not too impressed by Mr Shakespeare who is often derisive of chimpanzees, apes and monkeys.)
       Chugley is, however, full of admiration for the heroic astronaut chimpanzee, Ham, who flew into space on 1st January, 1961; fulfilled his mission of pressing several buttons correctly in his spaceship and splashing down safely.
       Chugley’s dilemma is whether ‘To Be Human or Not To Be Human’ – to be like Ham, The Astronaut Chimpanzee, or Shakespeare, The Writing Man. He welcomes witty and wise observations and comments on his posts at chugleychimp@chugley.blog as he reasons, considers, ponders and thinks in his compound.  (Of course, he reserves the right to accept or reject any submission.)
N. B. He is also extremely fond of bananas, which do not all come free.
          

 
MORE DETAILS:

Chugley is becoming increasingly committed to his blog and is mindful that websites require maintenance and upkeep. He is ignorant of financial matters but has just discovered a human operation called ‘Go Fund Me’ which enables interested readers of his blog to assist in its operational expenses. His keepers, like the owners of Rolls-Royce, are too proud to acknowledge that they are no longer able to fly private jets and drive the latest make of vehicle but Chugley is far more pragmatic. 



WHY WE INVITE FINANCIAL INVOLVEMENT

Chugley is therefore pleased to offer businesses the opportunity to advertise on his blog site. $3 a month would be good for a start. He is also most appreciative of all donations.

Lastly, he wishes to extend his most heartfelt thanks to the wise and diligent Ph.D. qualified Chief Executive Officer of a world-wide organization, who mentors his posts – and to all those other human beings who consistently read and comment.

Chugley’s keeper is able to talk – albeit with an English accent – if you wish to give your telephone number.
