Ladies, Ladies, you seriously misjudge me by your instant objection to my joke, I was merely trying to introduce a little brevity into the situation and can accept the fact that you did not appreciate my perception in the matter, however, to instantly assume that I am not an animal lover and qualify your remarks with the word 'obviously' says more about your own characteristics than mine. I would like you to know that I am a regular subscriber to the Battersea Dog's Home and have been so for many years, the majority of the jokes I have learned (with the emphasis on dogs) actually came from the staff and handlers at that home which I visited on a regular basis in connection with my occupation as a laboratory assistant, an occupation that I still follow, although these days I am busier with 'bird flu'. You may note that I am an early riser and I would also like you to know that I am a member of several charitable organisations, I am a vegetarian and am now going to make a snap judgement on you.
I imagine you have little else to do other than voice your criticisms and opinions to all and sundry, I form this opinion from the timing of your various forays into the Forum, I can also visualise you chomping away at your pork sausages and bacon butties whilst you decry people and topics of which you have no knowledge.
I do apologise if my joke injured your sensibilities and hope that you will accept them together with my comments
which I assure you are intended with no malice.

Don't let them bother you Eliko. I informed them long time ago that you can not be a true animal lover if you are not vegetarian but they wouldn't listen. They wanted to eat me too

I have lost a dog like that, it was very clever and helped me in my work as a blacksmith, in order to make a positive identification would you please implement the following test, stick a red-hot poker up it's arse, if it makes a bolt for the door, 'IT'S MINE'

That's not funny at all

You are obviously not an animal lover to make such a crass comment. It may have been a joke, but it is in very poor taste. Grow up!!!

Need to relax a bit. It was just a joke

[andri_cy]

He's still with us..... I think he's a keeper

You still have that dog twinkle?

[cyfo]

call pascal school and announce to the childern I hear someone lost that dock and looking for it

[Bill]

That's a great joke......... very funny indeed........

And ladies....please don't assume that I am not an animal lover either......i love lamb (not goat) served with mint sauce, and ros bif (not horse) Bon apetite!

Nothing wrong with eating horse -- a wonderful taste -- full of iron -- hardly any fat and eaten in many EU countries.

Mind you I'm not too keen on choc covered frogs legs from the French or for that matter honey glazed dogs from China -- I suppose it's all down to what you feel comfortable eating.

With the increase of Chinese restaurants in Cyprus I'm surprised there are so many stray dogs wandering the streets

There is if you think it's supposed to be beef!

And I stay away from from chinkys for exactly that reason.

I assume your food standards are not as high as mine!

Sotos......

They may have considered it but I hear your hide is as tough as old boots.

I wouldn't eat you thats for sure. Think i'll stick to horsemeat and dog with the occasional thai curry cat!

Maybe my sense of humour, but I didn't find it funny and with all the cruelty in Cyprus to dogs & cats, it was in very poor taste.
Maybe we Brits have a more acute sense of responsibility and not find things funny, like this inane drivel!!

[Sotos]

Why all this sensitivity about cats and dogs? Jokes are jokes. We make jokes about people too. There is nothing wrong!

[andri_cy]

I have to say I have 3 dogs from which one just had puppies, so I have 12 dogs right now to take care off. I didn't particularly find the joke to be funny, but I didn't get my panties up in a bunch either. What you Brits have, it seems, is not acute sense of responsibility, but an acute attitude of " I am better than you". There is a big difference between making a joke and doing what the joke says for real. If you cannot distinguish between the two then it is not eliko's or anyone else's fault. I wouldn't eat horse, or deer, but that doesn't give me the right to judge people who would.
