Her dog was on a flexi lead and kept dashing all over the place while mine did the Newfoundland thing of laying down since we had stopped walking. The yappy poodle thing did the 'jump on the big dog' once too often so all he did was place a large paw on the poodles back and lean on it.<br /><br />I found it very hard not to laugh, there was the poodle, silent, with all four legs splayed out sideways, flat on the ground. It actually took some time for the woman to realise her dog was behaving for a change - it couldn't do much else - but when she did she went ballistic. ivannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-69409808987799643612013-06-13T21:34:56.882+01:002013-06-13T21:34:56.882+01:00@John Pickworth.Is that the Black Swan or Mucky Du...@John Pickworth.Is that the Black Swan or Mucky Duck as I used to call it that in earlier days welcomed rufty tufty bikers and other motorcyclists?

Petronella used to be a deputy editor, for Heaven's sake. Joan Collins drops in but I love her, so leave her alone.<br /><br />Hopefully most other subscribers see Melissa's contributions as an interesting insight into how stupid (as opposed to airheaded) other people are. Naming her dog after a council estate child whose name is likely to juxtapose 'shallow grave' in a headline makes me smile. Note the spelling - will the mutt mind if it is spelled with an 'S'?<br /><br />At least Petronella was a sexy little minx - not 'Christ - was I that drunk?'.Twenty_Rothmansnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-58484546408213929682013-06-13T15:11:41.386+01:002013-06-13T15:11:41.386+01:00I used to quite like Ms Kite's column in the S...I used to quite like Ms Kite's column in the Speccy but since it got a bit too 'doggified' I now give it a miss.Fahrenheit211http://www.fahrenheit211.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-13656876888978758512013-06-13T14:40:08.596+01:002013-06-13T14:40:08.596+01:00Interestingly, there was no photo of her and her p...<i>Interestingly, there was no photo of her and her pooch - was that in case the locals all wrote to the Speccie to complain about "that silly woman and her yappy dog" do you think?</i><br /><br /><a href="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/04/03/article-2303622-1911D845000005DC-649_638x465.jpg" rel="nofollow">The yappy bitch is here... with Cydney</a><br /><br />The pub in question is The Black Swan Ockham, Surry. Probably best to avoid quiz night when Melissa is there. It's not even strictly her 'local pub' either; she lives on the other side of Woking in Bisley.
