Another blogger - who goes by the strange pseudonym - Shooting Parrots, keeps referring to me as "Yorkie". That's rather like a footman in Buckingham Palace calling the Duke of Edinburgh Phil. Anyway, I thought I would pause to focus on the name "Yorkie". Is Mr Parrots thinking of the chunky chocolate bar reputedly enjoyed by English lorry drivers:-
Don't you just love that strapline - "Not for Girls!" with the accompanying and somewhat politically incorrect warning logo. Or was Mr Parrots thinking about the Yorkshire Terrier breed of dogs - often familiary referred to as "Yorkies". Here's a young one:-
Awww! And here's another on his way to a fancy dress party:-
One of my private investigators tracked down the aforementioned Mr Parrots and spotted him wearing this T-shirt:-
This mug was seen in his kitchen window as Mrs Parrots turned the mangle in their wash-house:-

ReplyDeleteIt is clear to me that the answer depends entirely on whether you are (a) chunky, (b) chocolate, or (c) have ever been enjoyed by English lorry drivers...
I love my Yorkie, too, and I don't even have one.
anyone who dresses a dog up like that should be minced in a sausage machine
ReplyDeleteI'd go for the terrier, I think. How are you at nipping people's ankles, YP?
ReplyDeleteRHYMES WITH PORKY I'm sure that if you contact Mr Parrots he will happily supply you with an "I love my Yorkie" T-shirt.
ReplyDeleteJOHN GRAY Oh don't be a spoilsport sir and get down the local animal fancy dress shop to adorn your critters.William would look lovely in a little tartan suit with a tam o' shanter on his curly bonce.
JENNY Tell you what Jenny, I bet your Paddy would run a mile if approached by a growling Yorkshire terrier. They're a tough breed tha knows - top dogs in the canine pecking order...They do more than nip ankles, they savage flocks of sheep and terrorise communities.
He probably would, YP but then he is a gentleman. :)
ReplyDeleteI did toy with the idea of calling you 'Nil' in honour of your beloved Hull City, but thought 'Yorkie' was less likely to lead to a punch in the mouth.
ReplyDeleteSHOOTING PARQUET Well you were wrong! What's yer postcode?
