Anyone see this on BBC Breakfast this morning? It was tough watching this seasoned trouper, after all he has been through finally breaking down and crying with many of the nation watching. What a darned shame.
And all over his dog, Florence, being kidnapped. I'm afraid I just don't get it.

Yep, he was inconsolable. Bill Turnbull had to cut the item short. You are an animal lover maybe you understand?

You're winding us up, right? What's this Blair's first name?

You are on the finest of form, sir. Your point. In fact as it is Friday and I am feeling charitable -
2 points

I couldn't resist it.
Seriously, how can someone get so upset about a dog? Lionel, get yourself another one.

You are the bad man, and on behalf of disgruntled animal lovers everywhere - harrumph, tut.
Every pooch is the good pooch and I will not stand for anyone who says bad words about them.

Please don't get me wrong. I really like dogs and they seem to reciprocate but how can one get so attached to them? Lionel, who we know is an emotional man, was bubbling and its not even him and his wife's only dog. They have another one.

Not only am I attached to them, but the fact that I have 2 does not mean that I would not be upset if one of them was limbnapped.

Fair point. It is obvioulsy beyond my ken. When i first saw Lionel this morning the volume was low. I could tell he was upset. I thought he had scratched his vinyl Born to Run or shrunk a good shirt or something. Turned out to be only dognapping.
Dognapping in itself is a weird concept. If applied to a cat it would just mean they were asleep. The world of pets....sheesh!!

It figures, from the man whose very avatar speaks of animal cruelty and a cocktail party gone tragically astray.

Porty, do your eyebrows meet in the middle?
My Granny always used to say, "never trust a man who doesn't like dogs, or whose eyebrows meet in the middle".
Enough of your nonsense - get back to the Play Pen!

But then if they do, you should trust him - because your granny said "or" and not "and" (or "and/or").

I think she meant if he had both - avoid him like the plague. But be wary if he's one or the other

Dogs whose eyebrows meet in the middle are gorgeous - unlike men, who are just dodgy.

Forum rules, also, sir.
