    I do. I asked Dionne Warwick, though she kept asking me back, even though she was born, raised and had lots of friends in San Jose.

    I had a red Belgian Hare when I was a boy. He was called sniffles as he seemed never to be free of a cold.

    Just watching Stewart Lee on BBC2 have the balls to make eating noises into the microphone for 5 minutes, and when a member of the audience looked at his watch again, Lee said, Yeah, what? Every time you look at your watch, I start from the beginning.

    It was getting past me too, but that was a brilliant last line. <laugh>

    That is not him by the way. My mother used to keep him in a cardboard box by the range in the kitchen in the hope she could could cure his cold. I now wonder whether it was a side effect from all the inbreeding that went into producing this breed.

    Fabulous looking creature though. I'd never heard of one until now.

    Out of interest I went through my records of the games I've refereed this season to find out how many cards I've shown this season. 68 yellows and 12 red cards from 23 games. Jeez! I knew I had shown a fair few cards but that's a lot.

    That is a bit of a shame,that disease has spread to the local game,all week they look forward to a game, wonder how many would have been a foul even 20 year ago? Just a question (honest) are you under pressure to help raise funds for the local FA?

    4 of those reds and 7 yellows came in one game when there was a punch up, started when one player racially abused another. So, if they really were looking forward to a game, I don't think they would have done that. <doh> The disease that has spread to the local game is the behaviour of players. It is awful a lot of the time.

    Which comes from the culture of the club/coach. My players play up, I take them off.

    Some refs are just as bad though. The whole thing needs sorting.

    I had a brown hare as a pet when I was a nipper. Our cat brought a couple of leverets home still alive, and we managed to save one. It mostly lived in the house (fully litter tray trained) and we would take it out on a lead for walks just like a dog. Used to run about like blazes when we let it off in the fields, but always came back when it was time to go home.
    We had her for about 7 years and was a brilliant pet.

    Add Neil Swarbrick to the list after that Villa game. Joke of a performance.

    Lovely story and brilliant that he would come back to you after you let him off the leash.

    I had a tame jackdaw too that used to say bugger off in a Lancashire accent. My grandad tried to deny it was him that taught it, but as he was the only northerner in the house, he couldn't really deny it. Our house was always full of interesting critters when I was growing up.
    The hare was ace though, as it used to take the piss out of dogs by running right up to them in the fields and then running away just as they tried to grab her.
    Sad when she died. I blame ginger biscuits in her diet (grandad again)
