Isn't it about time you changed your pic to one of Charles Bronson ?

Good point, I’ve been on here longer than Bronson’s been locked up but my appeal is due next year…

Yes you could be Norman Stanley Bronson

It has a certain ring to it….. but Charles Fletcher does sound a bit classier.
Although I must admit me and classier don’t ring true.

Victor Meldrew, I don’t believe it !

well you cannot be called darkie anymore if you used the old hair dye.

Funny you say that….my old man was a ships engineer and have various poses of him in his uniform with cap always immaculately turned out, yet at home he was the absolute spitting image in looks, dress and character …a dead ringer for Rigsby.
Much to the old girls despair.

We had a black cat we called Darkie when I was a kid, I can’t imagine it going down well nowadays shouting out her name.

back to guy gibson again.

The odd thing is he’d never have named it what he did out of malice ….would you name a dog you love ‘Hitler’…of course not.

mind you we had a really nasty german shepherd years ago called sabre but had the nickname of rommel. had our phone number on the back of a cheap replica iron cross my lad bought for him hanging from his collar.

My user name on here is cairn terrier we had, but the bigger light coloured type with a pointier nose, a complete and utter bastard of a terrier, loved him to bits. I was working in Luton at the Swiss firm Brown Boveri and was told I had an urgent phone call from the wife…. Phoned up and said she was going out with her mother and the kids, but because he wasn’t included no one was stepping over the front door……. I applied logic and told her to go out the back door while he stood his ground at the front door….. it worked.

My sister had German Shepherd wouldn’t let you near my cousins, bared it’s teeth and growled, unfortunately it got run over, it scared the hell out of me.

had that one and another. not frightened of em in any way but really doubt i,d have another. inherited both when i met her in the kitchen and had a rottweiler of my own. one thing was you had the pavement to ourselves. the only dog i do fear is those akita things that seem the must have breed for young enrichers round my area.

Still got the scar on my left knee when I was 4 and attacked by an Alsatian outside my aunties in Gloucester Street and luckily for me her combative Fox Terrier ‘Spot’ appeared and attacked it and it ran off yelping and the little feller sat by me till my Nan and aunty got there.

And that's why you'll forever favour terriers. Good on ya mate. Just don't start supporting Huddersfield Town !!!!!!

Never thought of it like that, but may well have a point Mr D.
