So I'm sitting in the vets. Two people in the waiting room. Me with a box that keeps going meow and a woman with a big lollopy dog of some kind.

The vet helping wench walks in, goes up to dog woman and says, 'Is this Tigger?'

:smt011

AND there's a bloke at work going on 30 and he's never seen Mad Max or The Blues Brothers. No wonder the country is going down the shitter.

Mmm,apart from astounding lack of culture, I also suspect incredible stupidity may have played a part in this.
The next clients of Hoppy the rabbit and Growler the dog may have been equally mystified.
I don't think there is any danger of receptionist graduating to vet

Dog wasn't wearing any sort of a dress.
We don't do that sort of thing down here.

Remember I've seen you dressed up as a bear.

True.

I tried explaining Heath Robinson to a young biker.........

At least he went home and googled him!

I vaguely recall a friend describing seeing hawkwind play around 183

He said the lead singer was wearing a silver jump suit and had a purple Mohawk.....

He did also reveal he had taken a fair bit of acid.....

If that was the kings hall in stoke I was at that gig and yes he was for most of the show but later came out at some point in a dayglo jockstrap... And he did the whole show on roller skates but we had worked out that it was a clever small gauge rail track with switched and everything hadn't considered roller skates as a possibility

There you are set one up for you
