Disappointed by Bob Mould, cast, lighting seeds and Babybird.

With the exception of Bob Mould, those were all pretty disappointing back in the 90s weren't they?

I assume Clint is too busy making millions doing Hollywood film scores to bother singing classics like Beaver Patrol and Not now James, we're busy anymore? What about Richard March?

I generally have a Black Christmas, not a huge fan of the forced jollity, so whilst I put up a tree it is black, with blackbirds and crows in it for decorations. I have a Christmas hat which usually goes on the least annoyed dog, or the skeleton, or the bear. (It looked stupid on the shark)

Popped into a scrap yard I used to go to 20 years ago (Jenkinsons - Sandon Bank), still the same, still brilliantly chaotic and somewhere you can wonder I with your own tools and set about getting your bits..

When you come to trade it in, it’ll be worth buttons (ask me how I know - hint:Mrs Roobarb)

I can see why people with lazy/infirm dogs do that knowing the irritation of a dog who didn't like to follow me.

I just couldn't do that to myself in public,  A Suzuki X90 would be less embarassing.

My missus has got a dog pram, so she can take him into shops. Not on my watch, she doesn't.

Surely the whole point taking a dog out is to exercise it?

[MrDuke]

Not so much with bulldogs, exercise tends to make them keel over with massive coronaries. Yay for inbreeding!

It is, or it should be. It's so she can take him in shops with her as she doesn't like leaving him at home by himself.

I'm contemplating getting one for Phoebe! She can't walk far anymore and so misses out. But I couldn't push one further than she can walk so it would be an excercise in utter futility!

Get a small cart for you and Phoebe and use Chester to pull it.

Reminds me of that episode of All creatures Great and Small where the rich lady with the fat dog was told to walk it more and they came round to check up on it and the butler was walking it round the grounds by carrying it on a cushion.

The dog was called Tricki-Woo

@dollywobbler spoke to me through my cat's arse this morning It was very surreal to walk in and hear his dulcet tones until I realised he (the cat, not DW) was sitting on my phone, completely hidden by his fat belly, and had managed to hit the play button on a YouTube notification!
