There was a Labrador called Simon over the wall when I was a kid.

I’ve known of people to give their pets full human names based on what the animal looks like.
A friend’s Mum had a cat called Les Dennis and a woman who walked her dog in a nearby park to me had a rough collie, (see Lassie),that she had named Patricia Hayes. The dog in particular was a spitting image.
A little off topic I know but when I lived on the Isle of Wight the village eccentric, an elderly woman who wore a cape, drove a Morgan and drank a bottle of scotch a day, had a dog called Bastard and coulf be heard at all times of day and night on the beach yelling the poor thing’s name.

You know what? You’re right I think.
Brown trousers - long lens footage.
He was with us when we did Urwin’s Day in the Life thing so that makes sense.
I deffo filmed it - mixed my Geordies up

@42069666 suggested Harry. Kinda easier to picture that.
I was thinking it was later and it was Westgate or Busentiz but Harry sounds right.
Another friend had a cat from Spain called Chico. Sadly he went missing
Fenton is a good name for a dog.

Bloody dog!
Out for my run the other day I happened upon Buttons the spaniel with a fish in his mouth being chased down the promenade by his owner and two fat, angry beach fishermen. It was excellent.

I’m sure I saw a recent photo of Harry skating, or did I dream this?? Awesome, if so. Absolute legend.
Found the Sainsbury archive an interesting time waste last lockdown - if you like product design / photography etc it’s worth a look through
Anyway, found this interview with a Sainsbury employee / ‘cement surfer’ from 1977…

What’s a good way to annoy your neighbours? Asking for a mate who lives next to these noisy fucking snobs who cross the road when they see him and constantly bang around and seemingly rearrange their furniture every night by dragging everything all over their wooden floors.
Don’t want some pizza delivery guy being left out of pocket or anything like that, but is there anything quite easy that could be done that would really annoy this pair of fucking pricks?

On bin morning, sneak out and put their bins back in before the lorry has been.
Glasgow in 2021 mate, the bin lorries don’t come anymore.

That’d be too obvious. They’re both teachers so maybe if they were at work it could be anyone but I think right now they’d know it was me.
