I'm glad I once got the chance to see him live. It was at the Grand Opera House in Belfast. It must have been his last tour. He'd had to cancel a few gigs because of bronchitis, and I suppose it turned out not to be bronchitis.

Yes it's true my woolliness has spread everywhere. I will try to keep it under control in future!

I think Colin escaped with his own fur in your first pic. He probably wouldn’t mind a knitted jumper when he’s outside, though my dachshunds disdained clothing except if we stopped for a picnic at the top of a windy hill.

oh, and if anyone wants to dress him up for Halloween, be aware that inflicting a ‘hot dog on a bun’ suit on him may be one of the few misdemeanours which might result in a ban. Grin

DeanElderberry · 29/10/2025 13:22

None of us would dream of such a thing

Somebody warn Marie there's a dog in a furry suit coming to the party. She'll know he's a dog by his tail and his sweet, wise, face.

I can't decide between easy, factual, romantic or techno.

I don't do Hallowe'en, so I'll see you all after the event x

Hedgehogsrightsarehumanrights · 29/10/2025 13:57

No me neither Fuzzy

I am officially "poorly ick", as they say, demonstrated by being deeply asleep despite the pile of Tunnocks delivered by the gerbils. They have obviously become bored by my somnolence as they have departed the scene. Which means very bored indeed.

Thank you for whoever transported me to this shiny new thread. I'll just settle down here in this random spot while I close my eyes for a moment...

You really do need to emulate lions and spend most of your time asleep. Fortunately you don’t need to do the hunting for antelope across the Serengeti part.

ChristmasStars · 29/10/2025 14:08

I don't do Halloween either but I like to think that with my starry dress I am always rather dressed up!

Thank God I don't have to hunt antelope! How strenuous.

Great news! Boily made an appearance on the Darlington Thread!😃
A brief one, but, phew, she's still around.

Yes saw that, can someone on here hand out our annual leave sheets please. (No good at AI)

She was summoned, and appeared!

DeanElderberry · 29/10/2025 18:01

it was very exciting

Hedgehogsrightsarehumanrights · 29/10/2025 19:01

Poor boiled she has created a personae that is so adored (as we know she is very very funny) that means she has an equivalent status of a very famous person all over FWR I must mention her salient contribution on threads as well.

when you are famous you cannot disappear without fans and friends worrying about you.

Must be a bit of a double edged sword.

she is probably lurking as i speak.

so i have stolen all the snowballs and @knittedsloth can have the other tunnocks. A sacrifice worth making.

And i am not saying where they are even if tortured.

ErrolTheDragon · 29/10/2025 19:12

You’re trying to taunt her back here, aren’t you, banned?

Magpiecomplex · 29/10/2025 19:18

DeanElderberry · 29/10/2025 09:03

If the Tunnocks are still absent I suggest asking @Magpiecomplex, she's very good at taking care of shiny things, and if that fails, asking Wombat to help us with a ghost-guided dream.

Missed this earlier. Tunnocks? Never seen them before in my life, officer.
