Kenny , that's right. It was either a truce or you were just fed up of bein' 'it' and couldn't catch somebody at skilly or find somedody at hide and seek. Like one of you had gone home and not told the others or somedi had managed to hide proper with a nice wench.

Nobody liked bein' it, though did they.

douglas, I was tryin to think of your dog's name when I did the ' dogs and other animals post (26 Sept)but it eluded me. I can see it; little and spindly black with a bit oif tan or grey, maybe , and long nails that clip- clapped on the oil cloth. or am I confused with Rams' daft dog that chased its own tail. That was long haired though , unlike yours. Am I close?

Wasn't your mam called Marion and your dad and grandad both called Tony? Me reputations in tatters , if not! I
I DO know the dog's name but it won't come out.

What I do remember -sadly- was a dog being run over in the road between yours and the Engineers, lying dead with a pool of red blood and guts comin' out of itss mouth like a big speech balloon in a comic.

... I'm just playin for time, here tryin' to think..... Was it a bitch, your dog? Trudy, judy, Trixie or summat. Damn. How annoyin'.
