    ....for a dog. Over a period of months my son and I have been worn down by the women in our house into getting a dog. This process has included a powerpoint presentation from my daughter and continual oo -ing and aah-ing over pictures on iPads. I'm not keen as the type of dog I would like (a large, wolf -like beast) clearly won't work in an end of terrace house in town with virtually no garden, with nobody home most of the day. The women are out now looking at some effeminate spaniel-poodle mongrel puppies, which seem to cost a fortune.

    As a sop to my wounded pride, me and the boy have naming rights. Daughter has already suggested Stan, in a clever bit of psychology.

    I would genuinely welcome your proposals. Already on the potential list:

    - Dog (my personal favourite)
    - Stan
    - Keith
    - Diego
    - Colin (sorry Col, but it has a ring to it)
    - Cat
    - Loftus
    - Jesus Christ
    - Mongrel
    - ****er (as in 'heel you ****er!')

    I will be learning Twitter to offer Tony the chance to sponsor it as Air Asia, I am willing to have the logo branded into its fur/pelt/coat whatever you call it.

    Do your worst, gentlemen and lady. Mr DT, I am expecting some great things from our creative director on this, if your user names are anything to go by.

    If want the dog to earn lots of money, then how about Rosie? ;-) As for a more sensible choice, how about Brix, in memory of BrixtonR?

    A woman I know had three dogs called Brian, Trevor and Colin! She never had children.

    How about Gnasher, you could walk it in a Dennis the Menace shirt...:grin:

    You'd need to take it down the park first.

    If it chases a ball, head down and can't quite get it under control - Jamie
    If it just runs around in circles to no great effect - Ji-Sung
    If it falls over all the time - Shaun
    unless it rolls around uncontrollably after falling - Steph
    If it wanders around showing no interest in the ball - Djibril
    and if it attacks all the other dogs in the park - Joey

    Deefa comes to mind.

    When you are asked why Deefa you just reply "Deefa dog".

    (Yes, its an old one. Very old.)

    A griffin??????

    Half eagle, half lion. Either you've got some incredible pet shops out there in New Zealand or you are the victim of a cut and shut.

    Thanks lads, keep 'em coming. Outstanding stuff Roller.

    Stan still in the lead, Clive in the running. On the rails Pedro (after the character in Napoleon Dynamite, see my avatar).

    Having seen a picture of the creature in question, it is definitively a ladies dog (too young to leave its mum until the end of the month, so there is a stay of execution). And its going to cost £700. Will be offset by no summer holiday, as the beast will be too untrained to travel, not had jabs etc. I am earning big points here .....

    I just had a look at the griffon dog. Not a pretty sight, must have a great personality Kiwi.

    I like the sentiment and have seriously pondered, but having been lucky enough to meet David/Brix, I just don't feel comfortable with it I'm afraid.

    Abraham, Martin and John are all good names and you get to sing this when you lose the dog:
