NEWS A PlayStation-mad monkey has been separated from the owner who bought it its own beloved console. Chutney the monkey lived with the Morgan family in West Sussex and had coveted the son's PlayStation for so long that his owner eventually bowed to primate pressure and bought the impish chimp his own games console. Since then Chutney has been unable to put the console down, and while no amount of opposable thumbs would help him play the games he still carried the PlayStation around with him constantly, even taking it to bed. Now the authorities have got involved and Chutney has been taken away from the Morgan family after Adur District Council refused to grant Stephen Morgan a dangerous animals licence. Chutney, and his PlayStation, are now at a sanctuary in Wales pending an appeal by the Morgans, according to the Brighton Argus. Chutney's shunning of the Xbox is the latest example of the animal kingdom's rejection of all things Microsoft.
