discover dogs

Did anyone go Discover dogs - I went yesterday - maybe I went a little later in the day than usual - but it was far too busy for my liking - think they need to include another day as obviously as popular as ever...

anyone else attend?

No I didn't go, was it good beside the number of people.

hmmm - yes and no

the people exhibiting seemed a lot more approachable than in the past - despite how busy it was - so that was a positive - and the live shows seemed to be very popular - but I was a little dissapointed with some of the dogs themselves if that makes sense? - in all the past years I seemed to love each and every one of the breeds - but there were only a handful that really caught my attention this time round .... and some of the merchandise stalls were hit n miss and some utterly irrelevant - but all in all it is still a great day out and ill be going back for more next year - allbeit when the doors open not slap bang in the middle of the day...
couple of nice dobes there you would have liked

It's such a shame isn't it when the crowds are just overpowering. Amazingly I have met some people who seem to like it We only once went to the ideal home exhibition, it was a disaster There was a 5 bedroom house with a jaquizi and a swimming pool there, we walked past it 'cos I knew that I could never buy that (This was before the lottery BTW) Anyway, you should have seen the people queing to get in to that house I know it sounds elitist but honestly some of them would be struggling to buy a derelict caravan in the outer Hebrides

dont be fooled by appearances

i have a scruffy friend who looks like he should ne selling the big issue and who got ejected from a sunseeker yacht at the boat exhibition in earls court or wherever it was a few years back. The bloke was quite abrupt with him saying it was a serious boat for serious buyers blah blah blah ...he lost out on a BIG sale - my friend is a hedge fund manager who was looking for a boat to moor up on one of his holiday homes on the med - dont be fooled by the scruff bags of this world!

Quite right, iI I dug deep enough I think I could quote some similar stories too, but my memory from that Earls Court 'Ideal Home' thing was of many shall we say 'large' mammas, with five or more kids in tow, speaking pidgeon English and struggling to find the one quid to enter the house

That doesn't describe your average hedge fund manger does it Or does it I must admit I'm not well aquinted with hedge fund managers

hhaha no fair enough - the big mamma look aint that common in the hedge fund world ......
they come in all shapes and sizes and without generalising most are twats but with the odd exception

Oh Nickyboy we clearly think alike but as you say there's always exceptions to every rule.
