No cats Little Blue...two Tibettan Terriers (Terrorists) Oscar (Oscar Wilde) and Beatles (Black haired with a fringe over her eyes)...We have a pet ram called Laurence (posh for Larry) a goat called Jake (Jacob look alike) another called Kenco (coffee coloured), a ewe called Thelma (we lost her sister Louise) and one of our cows is called Boo-Boo (changed from Bo-Bo because I mistook her for a bull calf when she was born...I made a BooBoo of sexing her!) We have a Bull called Prince, so we named one of his male off spring Bozie (nickname of the Prince of Wales)...as you can see we're completely bonkers!!!!

Wizard...yes Korky was a favorite, but I liked Lord Snooty and Desperate Dan as well...and what about The Bash Street Kids, Dennis the Menace and all the other Beano characters.

I started naming my Ex battery hens after my 5 grandchildren but then decided as they mostly looked scraggy things they may be insulted, only got around to calling the biggest Big Sandy and the wee scruffiest Wee Stevie, even though she is a girl. We called our Rottie cross Bruce after Bruce Willis as my OH watched a lot of his films, then we moved to Scotland across the road from the Bruce family coat of arms and it seemed even more appropriate, sadly he was put to sleep last year, he was a wonderful dog absolutely no  bad habits, although he certainly did not like some dogs but never ever had a fight or had to be stopped from fighting, unlike Bruce Willis!

I know one shouldn't wish but I had a Jowett Bradford Estate Car ex Cleethorpe police.A grand thing for a 18yr olds first car.Several of my so called mates tried to pinch it an hide it some other place but could never get it to move it always stalled.No ignition key just turn the knob in the center of the light switch and press the great big button the center of the dash.35 mph in the middle of the road go any where in time.You had to get out and strike a match to see if the lights were switched on.Being a motor mechanic I converted it to 12 Volt from 6V now theres a project What about the petrol gauge the trafficator semaphore arms he he he  ??? :farmer:

My dad loved his cars and was always changing them so not too sure but we did have a black one with a running board and a red strip around the middle, I told my friends how important that red stripe made my dad...all I know is I used to get very travel sick as he smoked a pipe, my mum smoked cigarettes and I was in the back with my brother with the addition of petrol fumes.

Not betting money but Morris Motors were very fond of a deep red strip around the cars waist particuarly their 12hp model That was a posh car at that time ;D :farmer:
