Tell-tale parrot exposes cheating girlfriend

Report: Ziggy squawked, ‘I love you, Gary,’ but his owner’s name was Chris

LONDON - Chris Taylor, a 30-year-old British computer programmer, grew suspicious of his live-in girlfriend when his pet parrot began to imitate her saying, “I love you, Gary.”

Ziggy, an 8-year-old African gray parrot, would also make kissing noises whenever the name Gary was mentioned on TV and would mimic Suzy Collins saying, “Hiya, Gary,” every time she answered her mobile phone.

Confronted with the evidence, Collins admitted to a month-long affair with a coworker named Gary and moved out of their shared Leeds apartment that same night.

“I wasn’t sorry to see the back of Suzy after what she did, but it really broke my heart to let Ziggy go,” Taylor, 30, told the Times of London in its online edition Tuesday. “I love him to bits and I really miss having him around, but it was torture hearing him repeat that name over and over again.

“Ziggy was one in a million; he was a loyal friend, and I have no doubt he was looking out for me.”

Taylor said Ziggy, who was named after a David Bowie song, has found a new home thanks to a local parrot dealer.

Collins, 25, told the newspaper she was staying with friends and said she shed no tears for the tell-tale bird.

“I’m not proud of what I did but I’m sure Chris would be the first to admit we were having problems,” said Collins, a call-center worker. “We had spoken about splitting up several times and I think it was inevitable.”

peaceandguitars..... Sean is web designer by trade. He works for a Co. as head web designer plus has his own Co. for side work. Sean will move to his own thing when the time is right. He doesn't have enough freelance work right now. The mural is freaking awesome isn't it. It really is a joy to be in the studio. We'll be launching the studio site in Feb. You'll be able to see the whole layout then. Thanks and take care.

Aaaaaaaagghhhh I hate feeling like this...OK had to get that off my chest?

962 - Your quiet? you OK? No answer to mail?

Keniko - I'm so sorry to hear the news, losing a friend in that way is gonna hit em' real hard, but way down the line, maybe it will help them to be really conscious on the road? With regard to Vision (why'd ya call im that?) ...well I know how you feel we've had four cats, but the first one we lost to an illness after we had nearly nursed him back to health and I can honestly say I've never felt so much pain in my heart...not even what I'm going through now feels as bad even though I've cried and cried the actual pain in my actual heart nothing like when we lost bear. So extra big hug to you, wish I could give it to ya in person!

death cube K - Yep that's the thingy

peaceandguitars - hey honey I don't really mind if you don't answer, but you don't have to be shy on here...as I said I'm just pleased your feelin good again..Nope I didn't get up 4 swimmin...I'll make sure I do tomorrow though..luv it!!! Daniel Powter..yep that's the chappy...wot u changed back 4?

DCslater - This was my first experience of any kind of chat..but the guys and gals on here are sooooo great, I don't wanna go anywhere else now anyway.

Gotta Go...Hugs Satriella xx

Zenfish...my father's side is part Brit, part French Canadian, part Native American Indian....no surprise...that dry humor chafes through...lol...thanks for recognizing my Neandrathal painting's from my cave...lmao

mikesb...my old stomping grounds...Huntington, NY...guess I can't miss good old Alan (Legato King) Holdsworth, especially now that he's lending his drummer to Greg Howe for the NAMM performance's....thanks for the heads up!

Keniko...got some cool stuff on the front burners...2 handed high speed technique (ala Greg Howe)...waiting for it to incubate for a proper hatching...soon to unveil, but not till it's polished....thanks for asking....sorry to hear of the ill wind that's blown through your life recently...

SuppaDave...thanks for checking out the work...and my site...your positive words are fuel for my soul...thanks!

Stevee T, Cool!! One of my resolutions this year was to take some lessons (only had two in my life!!!) to expand my playing horizons and get out of the rut we can sometimes fall into, you know pickin up the guitar and playing the same ole stuff over and over etc?? Anyway, I found this local fusion dude and we are gonna try a couple of lessons and see what happens.... Pennsylvania was too far for me to go for lessons and now LA is just impossible LMAO!!

Satriella.....Well first off ...thanks for your concerns on my boys. I appreciate that. The silver lining here is Sean really learned how fragile life can be and totally understands now that he's a young man( 26 in Mar.)he has to be careful with his own life. They suspect alcohol was involved with this accident and that was also a very important lesson. Being a part of the wake he saw the pain the families were going through and told me point blank he'll never put himself or Cindy and I in that position. Lesson learned ....loud and clear ! ! ! Thanks GOD ! ! ! Finially.....Losing Vision was one of the hardest things to hit this family in long long time. I'm very proud at how Sean took it and mixed it all up to understand. He didn't take the usual " That could never happen to me " attitude. Also, Sean named his cat " Vision". He got him in the wild from a litter. Vision was only 5 weeks old. We had to feed him with an eye dropper. He was so tiny he couldn't go up or down our stairs in the house. My onther son Aaron went back to the litter and grabbed a female. Aaron named her " Snowy". She's doing fine but she's still trying to find Vision. She can't figuire out where he is. They were brother and sister for 15 yrs. So all is well. Life moves on but we miss him terribly. They are like children to us. Hugs.....

Edit.....Thanks SteveeT...... Life is a fragile thing. Best enjoy it ......and I do. I'm excited for the new SteveeT tune. I love your music. Sooths the soul. Thanks Bro. Peace.

Keniko, the guitarist for Brand X is John Goodsall. Brett was not on that record. My fave stuff with Brett is "Centrifugal Funk" (with Gambale and Shawn Lane and believe me Brett holds his own!!!) just listen to "Hey T Bone" from that CD...

His Quid Pro Quo and Uncle Moe stuff with TJ Helmerich

and last but not least the cool live solo on the "Guitar on The Edge" compilation, taken from believe it or not a Nelson concert!!!! Yes I am not kidding those blonde brat sons of Ricky Nelson!!!

You can check out the stuff Brett has done HERE at his website

js1200js1000, don't be so hard on yourself bro! We all gotta start somewhere, I've had to learn all this stuff too! hehe. Anyway, can you describe your level of understanding in terms of what you can read? Are you ok with reading chord charts and TAB? If you can give me a good idea of where your at with what you've taught yourself and what things you understand, and then give me your mailing address, I'll send you some stuff with diagrams that you can actually read.....trust me, it'll all make a lot more sense and you'll understand the intervals things like you understand tieing your shoe!

And thanks man, I appreciate your kind comments! I dunno....I was taught a bit of basic theory at college (it was about the only useful bit I actually learned) and then managed to work on it myself and figure out what it was all about. Advanced theory can get really sterile and it's ok to dislike it, but working on some basic theory/guitar theory is actually quite enjoyable, 'cause you can physically see the theory as you play it from fret to fret. Seriously man, I'd love to send you a bunch of stuff to give you a boost. I'm mostly self-taught and I know how useful it would have been for me to have been shown some stuff, just to have some pointers!

I gotta say, "TITS" cracked me up so much....what a great acronym for a messageboard! Also, thanks for the e-mails. You got one back! Hugs :-D

Marisposa..... Welcome to the site. It's not official yet but I'm sure when Joe releases his upcoming cd. You'll see a tour to support the new cd and favs from previous cd's. Take care. Hugs.

Stevee T - Dude, nice!!! Excellent chops man!! Let me know if you'd be into swapping links.

Keniko - Thanks again man, glad you like the music!! I throw a link on my site to you guys later tonight.

dream cube k - Got it man... I'll hook it up tonight!! I'll send you a banner later on also.

Satriella - Rock on!! I think I told you guys I went to Steve Vai's fan forum. Man, people love to bash other people over there. I'm done with that stuff.

Hi friends,

962 - Glad to have you back...Oh you didn't answer the question...cleverly evaded...what do you wanna do with...? check email :) glad you enjoying the teaching...there's nothing like it, it makes you soo happy when they finally get what you've bin trying to tell them eh? Glad you like the messageboard...all we need now is a 962 website to put it on!

DCSlater - Start racking up those posts...someone will always answer you...well most of the time anywayz

Keniko - Ahh poor snowy..that happened to our two cats too when Kat died Tiger was a bit lost without her. Like kids to us, you got that right, they are just as much a part of the family, although our children are sooooo special a real gift from god, a precious inheritance I think they are called somewhere in the big book!

Anyone going to the superbowl from on here..if you are I'll keep my eyes open for you...just wave a banner saying T2J!

Poor Bahduh had an accident, what's the worst accident anyone's had?

Mine was after I'd overtaken a huge lorry in a mini, there were two pheasants in the road, I swerved to miss them, got round OK but then lost control of the steering wheel..shot over the other side of the road, hit the curb, did a somersault and landed in a ditch full of stinging nettles...stupid things stung my legs...I've hated them ever since hehe not really I don't hate stinging nettles but the rest of it's true!

KISS Coffeehouse

The latest buzz…It’s official and it’s Hotter than Hell! KISS Coffeehouse will open this summer at Broadway at the Beach, in Myrtle Beach, SC.

DC Slater...... A link would be cool ! ! ! Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it.

Satriella...... Coincidence. Cindy had a Tabby for 18 years and his name was " Tiger " also. She had him when we were just starting to go out with each other 28 yrs. ago. When we put Tiger down it wasn't long after that the boys came home with "Vision" and "Snowy". You know the rest of the story.
