The price of fame I'm afraid. The infringement of my anonnymity aninimety annonimity not being recognised misses the point, it's being described as a Liverpudlian that rankles. I'm nettled, if not vexed. The dog reminds me of Horatio Bottomley by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do, born in the same city centre maternity hospital as John Lennon, though not in my case during an air raid, or his, if the debunkers of the legend are to be believed....... I referred not to the dark side of Stanley Park. The word has been appropriated by our lovable neigbours. It's an honest mistake I recognise and if I were a better and nicer person I'd be all forgiving. But I'm not, so I won't (see Victoria Wood below). The dog is a "digger". So nothing to do with the odious and repulsive Bottomley then? That's a relief. I read a story of some VIPs touring a jail and recognising Bottomley as he was sewing mailbags; one said to him "Sewing Bottomley?" to which he replied "No, reaping". The damage has been done. To quote the sadly badly missed Victoria Wood - I'll forget but I won't forgive.....AND I'm being baited over my Belgian waffle addiction issues all the way from Pelaines, between the greater Brussels metro area and the historic fortress city of Liege. I may have to go into therapy. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How my sin weighs heavily upon me. My offer has now been set in motion, at least partially. Both handler and dog were wounded in action, and the dog's services have now been officially recognized. The handler lost two brothers and a sister to the conflict, but he and his faithful canine both made it home together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit that I'm getting all vengeful and old testament in these trying times. Would this dog be commemorated at the Aussie inspired animals of the Great War memorial at Pozieres and has been recognised only in the past few years? Pete.

So the dog really is called Horatio Bottomley? Who'd have thought it. Or is it digger? Or Barking? I'm going to have to make myself an industrial strength cup of Java and have another search. It would be nice to have a Belgian waffle to go with it, I'm starting to dream about them...... Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knotty Posted 7 May , 2020 Share Posted 7 May , 2020 (edited) Stop taking all those digs at Pete, it might make him cross. After all he may be more interested in his photography what with the lovely blue skies he may have shot the arrival of swallows and martins. There is at least 3 very loose “cryptic” clues in the above😁😁😁 Edited 7 May , 2020 by Knotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
