hellllllllllllllllllo!

Back from the dogs. Feet are killing me but had a great laugh!

Great to see my mate who is my greyhound night out friend, even more so that he told me he has met a luvverly lady. Very happy for him and hopefully I'll get to meet her over Christmas (she lives in Preston - they met on a singles holiday in Italy!)

Glad you had fun BB - take it Cruella wasn't there?

I love going to the dogs, it is such a great night out.

Snaggles - nah, she wouldn't mix with the great British unwashed. one of the team (who is lovely) was there - we had never met but I introduced myself as I had coincidentally emailed her to say where I work is going to donate the secret santa money rather than do gifts and she said 'ohhhh, you used to work at xxx, didn't you?!!'..........my reputation precedes me it seems :rotfl:

OH called just as I was in the taxi on the way there- fishing for what I was doing, where I was going etc 'so, you have gone out tonight?' . I've always said where I'm going, but he never volunteers the same information..........so I was ...........'vague'.............;)

NAGH - it is - everyone is friendly and its relaxed and you don't have to spend a lot of money. you end up talking to strangers about their good or bad luck. It's just good fun. It doesn't cost much to sponsor a race - maybe I should sponsor the MSE DFW Burlesque Babe race - or - we could have a meet here and sponsor one between us!!

A DFW greyhound meet, that would be fantastic. You are right though, it can be a very cheap night.

they have this tiny little chip board podium to put the dog on and then the owners are given tiny little cups by the sponsor - it's quite funny really but sweet in another way!

Oh -and - I backed a dog because of a DFW'ers name..........it came nowhere.........:rolleyes: :rotfl:

No name, no pack drill...........SALLYX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rotfl: !!

oo Preston is not a million miles from me..anyone else catch the 1983 show on ITV..aww my yoof, absolute bliss..............

Burlesque_Babe

shame I missed that Bob, I love watching programmes about TV from years ago. I like the social aspects of what TV was representing at the time.

Burlesque_Babe

ooooooh, I've just remembered I have a Mars Bar in my bag.........late night snack time...........;)

I was just thinking about that BB as tv never got in the way, IYKWIM, and life was easier...suppose it was because of the optimism of youth..but i really enjoyed myself..the world was opening up, foreign hols all of that really.LOL i am reliving the past, but i also have the dubious honour of being in Ibiza when it was trendy..
