I recently had the rear brake covers stolen off my very expensive Rolex sports car. My wife and I decided to buy a dog, as a form of property and house defence, and invested in a pedigree Labrador puppy.
I named our new puppy Labbie as I had a rough collie as a youngster and, of course as a follow on to her being named Lassie, then Labbie fits.
I also have a Tarantula, 17 years old now, named Charlie. She was named after the doctor in Casualty.
What is your pet, its name, and do you remember why you gave it its name?

I forgot to add the latest...
She runs a newsagwent shop and she (on my request) orders 6 or 7
CHESS magaizines every month to sell to the chess lads.
This is OK though she often says some of those 'chess freaks' act
like they are scared of me. (obviously fans of The Corner).
But this is from a few weeks ago.
"What are you saying about me now on the Net?"
"Nothing."
"Then tell your chess friends to stop coming into the shop
and pointing me out to their other chess friends."
I've married the 8th wonder of the world!

(if she ever reads theses posts I'm dead).
Her comment about me buying a chess book a few years back was priceless.
"Why are you buying yet another chess book? Surely you know
how the pieces move by now."
...But somebody on here will tell her...they always do.
No 'lag' that I can see. I'm looking at games in the The Beginners Club
which I am member, writing stuff and playing over Tartakower games again.
Also trying to solve SG's latest torment.
Playing takes up too much time and my grade here puts me on
the fringe of the engines.
For the record and back on track.
3 cats though I am great dog lover and often 'borrow' my brothers dog
for a day out so I can picnic and watch the daft dog chase rabbits around
Arthurs Seat which is huge mountain right in the middle of the glorious
and beautiful city of Edinburgh.
