Snowed in

At the risk of showing my age, Idriss is the proper name for a dragon.

it's time to move to Ultima Thule

Ooh no! There be dragons!

Awwwww fluffy wuffy dragonny-wagonny. I will call mine Basil Fotherington-Thomas.

You are welcome to all the dragons I manage to catch! Unfortunately they are quite active at this time of year, as can be seen from this small sample of their activities last night

Now that would be a Welsh dragon. Around these parts of course we have Chinese dragons, which are slightly different, you have to count their toes to see what sort they are. Senior important dragons have five toes. They like to chase the flaming pearl of wisdom and hang out with phoenixes.

I'm very fond of dragons ( all sorts ) and generally feel that St George did a bad thing and the dragon probably had a difficult hatching and should have been offered counseling and rehabilitation rather than being summarily slain.

Around here dragons are called Mavis !

Lovely Rita, surely?

Back from my trip to the Mysterious East......................

Still snowed in, and Feltwell is meant to be dropping by, en route to Boston. We all know Feltwell is a force to be reckoned with, but if he gets here, he deserves a medal! Hope he's remembered to pack ice picks and crampons. Hope it snows even more whilst he's here, and then he can be set to work :wink:

Pfah! Mrs F has been trying to set me to work for years and has yet to succeed. :wink:

Lincolnshire snowdrifts were no match for a pair of size 11 Dunlop Wellies, I'm pleased to report. Beacon Cottage was a shining light of warmth and tea after a trek through the snow!

 

[JoceAndChris]

So pleased you remembered wellies, Size 11!! And just lovely to meet up at long last.

As for the dragons, maybe not the ideal pet then, though I agree with LadyA that I'd choose the dragon over Andromeda any day, far too many pretty girls around, not enough dragons.

Absolutely - The Merioneth and Llantisilly Railway Traction Company Limited would not carry a dragon by any other name. I seem to remember that they had terrible problems with decimalisation, they ran out of sixpences for the dragon's gas meter for their furnace - well, they had to keep warm after their volcano became extinct. All everyday problems in the top left-hand corner of Wales I'm sure.

Maybe the dragons are from the renowned prep school in Oxford!

Awwwww fluffy wuffy dragonny-wagonny. I will call mine Basil Fotherington-Thomas.

You can't call a dragon Fotherington-Thomas!

He is uterly wet and a weed and skip around like a gurl saying "hello clouds hello sky" chiz chiz.

 

[JoceAndChris]

Wish I'd called my little kitten (who is Lord Admiral Horatio Nelson) Basil Fotherington-Thomas, he has exactly that personality.

 

[Penners]

I dunno - fancy imposing on a poor ickle kitten the burden of living up to the name of our greatest-ever maritime commander. I bet he can't he even spell the name, for a start... :roll:

What's wrong with "Tiddles", eh?

:wink:

 

[Feltwell]

Fish are much easier. They're all called "Bob".

 

[Penners]

What, all of them?

That must be fairly confusing for them, if they want to attract a particular individual's attention. I can also visualise major problems with party invitations.

 

[DJH]

I've got a dragon thanks and I call her different names especially when she's breathing fire... "yes dear" gets the last word in for me... :lol:

Am I laughing at my own jokes again??

Got to go. Been summoned to the dragons den... :roll:

I think Trevor is far more fitting for a fish...well that's what I call mine :lol:

 

[DJH]

We had two fish... one we called Fish, the other, Chips.

Our rabbit was called Starsky...

It's a trend that could spread beyond the fish world.

I thought rabbits were customarily called "Stu" ..... ( I'll get my coat )
