Dogs on the Catwalk

There’s an exhibition of pet portraits taking place soon at a somewhat infamous place not too far away from Pither Towers and so the Very-Soon-To-Be Ex-Mrs-Pither decided that the pack should feature.

As a result, a good friend of ours who is an extremely good photographer came round today and took a series of pics of said hounds. They are pretty damned good!

Anyway, I have chosen one of each pooch. What do you think?


Henry (the boss).


Tilly.


Dave.


Caty.

Sad, really, what makes me happy and what makes me proud these days!

They look almost angelic - the camera really does lie! Dave looks a fine successor to dear old Padfoot.

I just want to give Tilly a big ol' hug! They are all so beautiful Reg. I think it's a great thing to be happy and proud about!

Hope you are well.

The things people do to get comments on their blog! Sorry in cynical mode today. I know that BO will win tonight but I can't help thinking about all those hanging chads.

SHORTS DON'T MATTER! 1. From the greatest programme ever made about association football, Barnstoneworth United FC manager Mr Dainty delivers one of the finest English soliloqiues of all time.......and afterwards, spare a thought for the club steward's wife Vera (YOU ONLY HAVE TO WATCH HALF OF THE CLIP!!).

Not everyone who agonises over their life is a painter. Some of us agonise because we're NOT painters.

....And On the Subject of Great Public Services

I know most of you have heard this marvellous song by those doctors who are the Amateur Transplants......but I think the video is a nice addition. P.S. If there are kids in the room I'd shuffle them out before hitting play.

...There's More

On the subject of those great doctors, here is their version of More Than Words which presents their challenging views on women outside Watford. The very-soon-to-be ex-Mrs Pither, coming from Cumbria, is a huge fan. Again, get those kids out of the room!

Leave Britney Alone, Ok!!!

Oh...........my............God!!!!! My heartfelt thanks go to BGT for this. I won't say much more, I don't need to. Mr Loony of Loonytown, USA (I think it's a bloke, anyway), says it all. I fear he may be wound too tight for.....well.....well for everywhere, really!

I wish I'd sung this! For non-Americans, and with apologies to all the smart arses out there who already knew, the FCC is the Federal Communications Commission and it monitors TV and radio output in the States - a sort of broadcast police - while the EPA is the Yanks' so-called Environmental Protection Agency, a body which does exactly the opposite of what it says on the can. (P.S. We went to the same school, you know? Eric and me, that is, not George, Martha, Dick and Condoleeza and me. I don't think they went to school.) P.P.S. Please see below if you are I Like The View, Malc or Doris.

To Make You Laugh and Cry

I was listening to this on a Sunday, the very-soon-to-be ex-Mrs Pither is a Catholic, Tom Lehrer is one of my all-time heroes and this is one of his best.............no other reasons. On a more sombre note (and with thanks to Fish for coming up with this Woman's-Own-passes-the-time-in-the-dentist's-waiting-room nonsense), why not get a computer to tell you that you are a waste of space and your life is a sham of a mockery of a farce? Ok, it's from one of those poxy dating sites but...go on, take the test. You ain't got much to beat!!

I First Saw This When I Was Little - And Loved It! I Hope That Explains a Few Things

Fuck, Fuckety, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck

It has been pointed out to me that, particularly for one whose profession is supposedly literary, my language is getting worse. My use of the "F" word is, I am told, far too prevalent and hence loses impact. To those who share this view I suggest you watch the following:

Tony Blair Isn't a Burglar - But If He Was.........

In the spirit of Gustav Holst's Jupiter and Manfred Mann's Earth Band, I feel like raising a smile today. The Big Green Thing alerted me to this and, for no other reason than to raise a smile on an otherwise crap Wednesday, I think it has to be shared. Grantham shall not have him - when he gets out of prison.

Life On The Edge - No Net.

I was wrong when I feared it might be a dull weekend, what with my pals being away, my soon-to-be ex-wife in rehab and only the dogs to play with. How wrong can a man be? This much fun must surely be illegal? Just click to see the japes and hoots I am having! Click again to see how things got REALLy exciting! Tomorrow we're going to chase pigeons.

Puzzle of the day from perplexus.info:
subtractiOn (Difficulty: 2 of 5)

If
    E = (F � I + R)
    F = (N * O)
    H = (F + X)
    I = (N + O)
    N = 3
    0 = 2
    R = (N � O)
    T = (X + Y)
    U = (O + O)
    W = (Y + R)
when does 
     (T+H+I+R+T+E+E+N)-(T+H+R+E+E)
     ----------------------------- = (T+W+0)  ?
          (N+I+N+E)-(F+O+U+R)
(All Os ARE the letter Os, not zeros)
